Tunebook for iPad 17+

I have been using Tunebook for several years. It keeps getting better and more essential to my life as a musician. I focus on Irish traditional music. There are written versions for many tunes readily available on the web. Locally we play our own versions. So it is very enabling to be able to get a version from the web, customize it to reflect our local version, and then share it with friends. Now days it is very well connected to other apps so it is easy to share via email or text. I highly recommend Tunebook to anyone interested in Irish Trad.

This is a great app. Works just like it says. But there are a few little tricks that aren't obvious. First, there's only one copy of each tune. The Tunebooks are just different views (catalogs) of the full collection. So, you can create temporary Tunebooks for setlists, favorites, or whatever. Just never delete the tunes, or they'll be gone. Second, you can create a new tune manually by using the + button in the All Tunes list. Third, Tunebook appears in the share menu for a text file in any other app. This lets you import ABC files from other apps, cloud servers, etc.

This is sooo much better an app for organizing your fiddle tunes than TunePal, though that app obviously has its place too. You can also back up your tunes via Tunebook using Itunes file share which I learned from the designer who happens to be not only a brilliant app designer but also a really nice guy! Once youve saved your tune list file to your desktop you can retrieve and add to another ios device etc. Buy this!!
