Apps for chord charts/cheat sheets when gigging

[kokodrilito]

I would like to know about apps for android. As I don't have apple products.

 

Thanks in advance,

Mobilesheets.

 

You can set it to use the cloud for your sheets so any markups you make on songs sync across your devices and also with band mates if they're also using the app and syncing those songs. 

 

I have several set lists.

@hiram.k.hackenbacker How do i download charts onto onsong (free version)?

[pn_day]

For Android, I have used Songbook Pro for a couple of years - was previously using OnSong on an iPad.

Do you mean upload to OnSong? If so, what document type are you trying to upload?

Download, as in onto the app. But upload is it like a web browser type thing.

I've been scanning my tab books into Onsong but when I scan said tabs they always do not fit to the size of the iPad screen leaving a tiny bit that means I have to scroll down.

 

Anyone have any idea how to fix the aspect ratio please?

I have experienced this before, but not since using the HP Smart Scan App (which is on iPad so you can send it straight to OnSong once scanned).

From memory, once it's in OnSong, I think you can pinch the screen so the scan fits. It should also stay like that once you move to the next page.

Thank you I'll try the smart scan app

I have been using Pages on IPad for all of my lyrics and also scribble down the odd chord structure. I just export to PDF and then open with Acrobat to scroll through full screen whilst playing. It’s easy to change the order of pages should the set change as well.

I have just tried to use onsong . I have just tried to download my PDFs of my chart and only lets me download 4 or I have to pay £55? I thought this was free? Any other suggestions? I just want to use my pdfs on my iPad?

We’ve used forScore in our duo for years now with no problems. 
Think it’s £19.99 on the App Store, one off purchase.

I’m sorry, assumed your iPad was running up to date.

You could try using the Kindle app as a PDF viewer? I've been using my Scribe for a while as a PDF reader, just downloading charts and tabs and whatever else to my PC, then sending it to my Kindle via the browser. Then in the Kindle app I organise them however I need, bring up the ones I want and then it's just tapping through them like any other document. If all you're doing is looking through charts and you don't need any extra functionality, that'd probably be a good bet for you.
