Android Tablet... software for setlist & notes

[Stub Mandrel]

I have a crap Lenovo tablet looking for a use as I've ordered a galaxy tab to replace it for work.

 

It is very slow, but It could serve for setlists/prompts especially if depping.

 

Is there a good android app, or am I best off just having a pdf. 

 

The ideal would be a setlist, andvrap.on a song brings up a page of notes/condensed tab/chord chart or whatever... 

 

Main requirements- never goes blank, stable - doesn't easily disappear or crash. Big letters.

Myself and the other band members use SetlistPro. You can enter in the song details directly or, as we do, import .pdf files.

For many years I was a long term user of Guitar Tapp Pro on Android. It's been all I needed when playing in 4 different bands, easy to share and simple to create and edit set lists. It's now been upgraded and replaced by Chords.wiki and is faster, more flexible and easy to use. As it's an App you can use it across your, phone, tablet or laptop and it automatically sync's up from the cloud.

Sharing set lists between band members is breeze. Only downside is the annual subscription.

I see a lot of guys using 'On Song' for live setlists.  No experience here but worth a look!

MobileSheets Pro. Pay once and play a lot. Setlists, PDF, JPG, books with bookmarks... Used it for a few years, and works very well. I have maybe 5000 songs in there. No more papers.

Now got a Galaxy Rab9+ and I'm at the 'realising how bad my old tablet is' stage...

 

Perhaps it's only good for a photo frame, although I'm trying a few of these apps

Although the new one hasn't improved your typing.

I’ve used Setlist Helper on a Samsung tablet for years 👍

I use Songbook Pro on my Galaxy Tab. Works great!

MobileSheets Pro user too. I can highly recommend for Android.

 

Very low cost, huge range of features and customisations to get what you need. I've been using it for all my charts for a couple of years and other band members who need one and have seen mine have got it too. 

 

I like that I can import PDFs and Images on my fast phone, then do a two-way sync with my tablet in seconds. It works with my page turner has night mode etc.

 

It also excellent documentation and a large active user base (has it's own helpful forum).

 

From my phone (for convenience for this post, when playing I use the table)...

 

Song view (easily filterable to find the songs you want)

 

 

Setlist list view
