BandHelper for Android

This improved my musical life! I was old school binder guy. Now I use this every week, either performing or just having a fun jam with friends and family. And it works on my really old iPads!

I’m a drummer…. No more set lists taped to the floor It’s no big deal to make song changes gig to gig or even within the gig. And the last thing for me…… The viewing song list can have a blinking metronome so I can always stay in tempo no matter how excited I am! Put the app on an Mobile and connect an Mobile holder somewhere you can reach and see that’s out of the way. I have mine on my High Hat stand. I just scratch the surface with this thing. It does so much more!!! Well worth the yearly fee and….. Arlo updates often. Get it!

I’ve never written a review for an app. Never felt compelled to-until now. I’ve looked far and wide for a good “Fake Book” app…never found it. I even dabbled with trying to build my own. Nice to know I can put that project to bed. When I saw this was only rated 4.3 stars, my honest first thought was, “people don’t get it.” Scrolling through the reviews, the one stars are typically “it’s too complicated” or “I hate subscriptions.” So be it. The sheer amount of work that must go into this app is hard to imagine. It is so well thought out and so comprehensive. It won’t be for everyone. If you’re not moderately tech savvy then you might do better with a simpler database style app for simple artist/song/lyric organization. If you want the MOST flexibility and the MOST comprehensive app for gig management, this has got to be it. Watch some YouTube videos, do your homework. Anything great is worth taking the time to learn properly. I’m still learning but it is so incredibly fun and powerful. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE never abandon development of this platform. It is one-of-a-kind! Ten stars!

Amazing app, and I'm a programmer. Also has thought if just about everything, and from a Musician's point of view, not a programmer. Because it does so much, watch the tutorials and spend the time to learn the app. It will pay off. The website is also great. A nice adjunct to the app with many useful features like importing iTunes playlists for set lists. And the real-time sync of set lists between players is fantastic. No more "what's next" questions from the peanut gallery.

Whether you are a solo performer or member of a band, this app will instantly change how you organize your songs, set lists an recordings. The app support is first class and the developer is always looking to improv3 the capability of the app.
