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.

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 This thing is outdated and I wish I had believed what so many other reviewers wrote about it's clumsiness and limited indexes before buying it.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)

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

It has quit working several times. Slow when exporting set lists with pdf charts. IReal Pro is much better & easier to use.

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.

This took a while to set up, but it is well worth it. There are a few things I would like to be more friendly, but it is fine the way it is. I had a problem with the program crashing because of a corrupt pdf. I got help from tech support quickly. After I sent them the corrupt pdf they made a fix to the program and distributed it the next day. Great service! I am very happy to leave my books on the shelf.
