I’m trying to find the optimal setup for me but I’m struggling with it, I’d love to hear your suggestions.
- I wanted something that I can have a lyrics data bank for me to use offline if I need to.
- I wanted to be able to tap and flip the page… not scroll. Scroll requires me to be precise on the move during a song… can’t do it. A pedal would work but this is for me to play at campfires and stuff, I don’t want to carry a Bluetooth pedal around.
I downloaded Ultimate Guitar and it’s good in the sense that it has a lot of songs… but the autoscroll sucks because sometimes there’s a section in the middle with details of a riff and I don’t want to do that so I have to stop and move the song forwards. I guess if there’s an app that would download the lyrics/chords and keep it on the phone and another that simply reads files and I can tap and turn a page, that would work as well… How do you guys do it?
The Open Song Android App can handle PDFs and changing pages is, if I remember correctly, a quick flick of the finger.
The developer, Gareth, is super responsive and open to suggestions. Check it out. https://www.opensongapp.com/
That is an excellent tip, thank you so much! It seems that all apps should be able to do something so simple, and in this case, a tap at the bottom of the screen brings that section to the middle automatically, looks great.
Tomorrow I’ll play around with trying to load songs I want so I can then figure out how I’ll download a mass of them so I can import there.
