Songbook Ultimate

Songbook Ultimate is your songbook for guitar. Everything about a song lives in one place: sheet music, tabs, videos and your own notes – on iPhone and iPad.

What Songbook Ultimate does

• Sheet music, tabs & Guitar Pro: Add PDFs, photos and Guitar Pro files to every song. Annotate sheet music with your Apple Pencil or finger. Guitar Pro files are displayed and played right in the app.
• Videos with markers: Attach YouTube videos to a song and set markers for the solo or the tricky part. Each video gets a role such as original, tutorial, live or backing track.
• Setlists & gig mode: Build setlists for your show. Gig mode shows your sheets large and warns you when you need to retune between two songs.
• Tuner & metronome: The tuner listens through the microphone and shows which string you are playing. The metronome has tap tempo and several sounds.
• Practice with a plan: The app suggests a practice plan and shows your practice statistics and streak.
• Organization: Categories, favorites, tuning, capo, tempo, difficulty and your gear for every song.
• Discover: Search for records and songs and listen to 30-second previews.
• Share menu: Send files and links from other apps straight into Songbook Ultimate.
