Some really nice comments (via mail and on Google Play ) this month. Thanks a lot for the feedback, keep it coming! Loves the app and how they can manage the key and sorting playlists. Only one thing that I need in this app is two finger zoom (if it possible in the next update.) Thanks to all developers who made this useful app. Thanks, glad to hear you are happy with the app. Two finger (pinch) zooming as well as three finger scaling of chord fonts is in the app, and now also enhanced by the auto-scaling of fonts (to make sure there are always 4/8 bars per line). Great app! Comes with chord charts, but the real value is that you can import PDF charts and index the songs. Following the add songs, download from internet link has many books to get started. Additionally you can mark up pages, make set lists, etc. Well worth the money. I wrote this song, correcting an unfinished tune in the database. Made it look nice, then when returning to songs after editing, it comes back loo...

Well, what can I say? Fakebook Pro version 3.0 is released and available from Google Play and Amazon. Check it out. Now! Why? Because it features autoscaling chord charts (making sure there are always 4/6/8 bars per row) and an updated playlist editor. And a lot of other small improvements to make your life as a gigging musician easier, That's why!

I happily downloaded and use the Facebook Pro app on an 13inch Android Tablet. It has just the features I want and like and it's a very handy tool for my live performances as a singer/guitarplayer. There are two features I know that are working, but I can't seem to get a constant way of using the following features: When I have my setlist/playlist of songs in front of me, I sometimes try to drag songs to another position. For instance the third song I want to put at the first position. I drag it with my finger or thumb, but this is most of the time not working. The screen usually gives a pop-up screen where I can add or remove the song to/from a playlist. What is the trick here I am missing? I tried positioning my finger/thumb in all kind of ways, but it usually doesn't want to drag a song. There's no "trick" other than to touch-and-hold as close to the "handle" (at the edge) as possible. But I agree that this is not always so easy and the Androi...

I just imported one of my large PDF files (Django Fakebook) and now I have 242 songs called "fakebook_django (###)".  How do I get all 242 named? I have an index file with the names and page numbers.  With unrealbook (my old app), I would load that index file in and it would use that to index/name all the songs. What can I do about that here in Fakebook Pro? Without the ability to mass edit the names, its not helpful for large PDFs. Please have a look at http://skrivarna.com/p/fakebook.html (this is the same landing page that you get to through the app when selecting Add new songs - Download from Internet). There you'll find some useful info about the PDFB scripts that Fakebook uses to download and index PDF song collections. The Django book is one of the PDFs that has an index there. I purchased Fakebook Pro to use on an old Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet, hoping to find a use for this old device.  To my surprise, Fakebook Pro is working well on this device.  ...
