This app is not easy to learn and setup on android, but help is available if needed. It has most jazz fakebooks.
Great app but would love better annotation tools
This is a nice app for indexing your music. You have to do some of the work yourself to index your own pdf files but once thats done you can find songs just by searching. Also to those its not working for: The latest Android 11 update made my books disappear. For a temp fix You have to connect to a computer and access android/data/ find the igig installation folder and copy books to that. Now it works!
UPDATE - the only issue with this app is that I cannot use the SD card for data storage. I have 6Gb of data and it clogs up my tablet. Make this function available in the latest version and I will pay for it. I have copied and indexed 15 Real books in three keys so that I can have them to hand when gigging. Best still is that I can view two page charts on one screen as I replaced my ipad with a Samsung Notes Pro which has a 12.2 inch screen. It works so well.
It has quit working several times. Slow when exporting set lists with pdf charts. IReal Pro is much better & easier to use.
Tried on a brand new Fire 10 difficult to load and cannot get the pdfs to show. Forum and help email useless. $15 and at least 2 hours wasted. Was able to use a different app that played nicer with an android device
DO NOT BUT THIS!!!! It is clumsy to use, has a fixed, limited amount of indexed pdf's with nothing from the current era. It is awkward and buggy. Their support is rude. If you play jazz, learn your charts. If you play rock / pop, use the internet. This thing is outdated and I wish I had believed what so many other reviewers wrote about it's clumsiness and limited indexes before buying it. If I am on stage I cannot be fussing with this (not that the included fake book index even has anything I play). Better to have binders with paper that never crash, stutter, halt, freeze ... (Why couldn't you give me a refund? I only owned it for 3 hours before asking)
I was quite happy with Igigbook on my Android device for a couple of years. However - it is clumsy to work with (having to use a web site to install charts.) and turning pages is problematic in the middle of a gig. Sometime the page turns, sometimes it doesn't. If this was the only option in the market it would fill the bill pretty well. However there are alternatives. In the Android sector Mobilesheets is a wonderful alternative. you can manage your music directly on your tablet without the cumbersome web site - or, even better, you can manage your music on your desktop and then transfer the whole setup to the tablet.you can either rebuild the whole lot via a restore from backup (create backup on desktop and then "restore" to the tablet. Or you can sync one way or two way between the desktop and the tablet. And you can do that via WiFi - no cable! Also no more trouble turning pages turns are easy and reliable. every feature in igigbook resides in mobilesheets plus many more. There exist a collection of indexes for most popular fake books and it is pretty easy (but tedious) to create custom indexes. It appears the android version has become an orphan as well.
This is a useful app, but not configurable for adding books unless they are in the short list of supported books. ... Also there is no way to adjust the app to your version of each book. Need to be able to adjust the hard-coded page numbers... Most fake books are imperfect and this app does not allow the user to make necessary adjustments.... Just updated and now it crashes when I try to call up a "recently viewed" song from set list page. ... All that being said, this is my go-to app on gigs... It is on the cusp of being an awesome app if they would just make it a little more usable... They could double the price and it would be worth it!
Problem Wer regelmäßig mit Fakebooks arbeitet, kann diese spätestens nach 3 Jahren als Altpapier entsorgen, da sich viele Seite aus dem Verbund gelöst haben und die ganze Angelegenheit mit der Zeit unvollständig, abgegrappelt und unansehnlich wird. Sofern Fakebooks alphabetisch geordnet sind, ist das schnelle Aufschlagen der betreffende Seite grundsätzlich kein Problem. Bei nicht alphabetisch geordneten Fakebooks (z.B. Firehouse FK) geht ein Finden nur über das Inhaltsverzeichnis. Ist man im Besitz mehrerer Fakebooks, stellt sich bisweilen die Frage, in welchem Buch war das doch noch mal was. Lösung durch diesen App Das digitale Aufrufen von Noten ist materialschonend. Durch ein komfortables Such-Tool wird angezeigt und zwar per Link , ob bzw. wo in all welchen Fakebooks sich das gesuchte Stück befindet. Wenn das oder die entsprechenden Fakebooks als PDF vorhanden und mit dem Programm verknüpft sind, öffnet der link die entsprechende Seite. So schnell lässt sich manuell ein Buch nicht aufschlagen. Voraussetzung für eine Nutzung des Apps ist, dass der Anwenden diejenigen Fakebooks, für die das Programm ein Inhaltsverzeichnis erstellt hat, auch besitzt und zwar als PDF-Datei. Kopiergeschütze E-books können meines Wissens nicht verknüpft werden. Aus urheberrechtlichen/verlagstechnischen Gründen könnte es sich dann womöglich nicht vermeiden lassen, mehrere Hundert Seiten des Fakebooks in ein PDF-Formtat zu kopieren – oh was für ein lästiger Aufwand. Es kann auch nicht jedes existierende Fakebook abgerufen werden, sondern nur diejenigen, die der Anbieter in das Programm eingepflegt hat. Fazit Das Programm funktioniert exzellent und schnell. Ein gewöhnlicher Pdf Reader ist dagegen im Vergleich sehr langsam. Ein Einstellen von Lesezeichen für jedes Stück wäre dort sehr aufwendig. Eine Verknüpfung von demselben Stück in verschiedenen Fakebooks gibt es bei gewöhnlichen PDF Readern nicht. Für unvorbereitete Sessions oder Proben – oh kennt jemand soundso und lassunsmaleben – ist dann dieser App genial – vorausgesetzt die Musiker bewegen sich ausschließlich in dem angebotenem Fakebook-Genre und die Fakebooks sind als PDF tatsächlich beim Anwender vorliegend/vorhanden und mit dem Programm verknüpft.
