Comments on Fakebook Pro Real Music Reader for Android
★★★★☆Jonan Wong· Jun 2, 2025
Everytime I select a song, it selects the song right before the selected song. Can you fix that? It's a wonderful app otherwise
★★★★★Leslie Colonello· May 23, 2021
Inexpensive but loaded with everything I need to give to a piano or guitar player who needs the chords. Now there's no excuse for an unprepared sideman.
★★★★★Nicolas Greensmith· Apr 5, 2021
Great app. Really useful as "database" Good for notation of new songs. Handy for setting up new "playlists" for different jobs. No glitches. Intuitive interface. Five stars.
★★★★☆Andrei Smirnov· Dec 5, 2021
Great app. Use it for 3 years already and am very happy with it. However, I have an issue transferring database from one device to another. Could you please give users a bit more info on how to do that? I created a database backup file and transferred it to a new device, but when I'm trying to replace the stock database with it, the app just hangs and nothing happens. Is there another method I should try?

Just tried to import an entire real book PDF. Apparently it will not index without a lot of work. And now I can't delete that from the "(list")

Dear developers everywhere: I don't know why it is so hard to make an app to do something so simple I've gone through probably every single PDF app on play store. All we need is the ability to bookmark specific pages across a variety of PDFs and place those bookmarks in a single location that is accessible so that when I click bet bookmark it takes me to the PDF with that specific page number we also need the ability to name those bookmarks and organize them in to separate lists.

You would think that it would be rather easy to change keys, but this app seems you down a rabbit hole just to transpose, and then it doesn't transpose the chart. The user has to transpose all the chords manually. It has a lot of charts. No lyrics, or melody lines.
★☆☆☆☆Ken Strandberg· Oct 8, 2019
Nasty program! Took my music files and filed them under Facebook It would not let me print in portrait mode. Only would allow me to print landscape which does me no good. Wouldn't let me export my music files back to my original folders of my tablets file folder. Deleted the nasty thing and now have to find all my music somewhere out in space.
