Download and play something new in seconds. With forScore, the original sheet music reader for iOS, your scores have never been better—it’s everything you can do with paper and so much more. As seen in Apple retail stores worldwide! On your music stand or on the go, it'. MusicReader is software that makes reading music easy and convenient. The software is a digital music stand and offers solutions for all kinds of problems musicians have with (paper) sheet music, both individually and in orchestras and ensembles. My partner is a musician, and is a recent convert to the idea of using a tablet for her sheet music. She's been using my (very) old iPad with an app called PiaScore, which is great and does everything she wants. She needs a new laptop, and she needs a new tablet for her music (because I need my iPad back, basically!).

(...side by side screenhots of iGigBook and Fakebook with chord charts...)
However, here the similarities stop. In Fakebook the huge chord charts library is built-in and included in the purchase, the iGigBook requires registering to the my.igigbook.com website. While Fakebook allows you to import other chord charts in several formats like iReal B, iReal Pro, ChordPro, abc and text, the iGigBook only handles PDF. Also, initially PDF import and indexing in iGigBook can be quite confusing, so I really recommend reading the users manual.
That being said, once the initial setup is done the PDF import works very good. Books in the public domain download with a single click, while other real books require a proper http download link. If you have your PDF files stored locally, again please read the manual...
Now, I'm happy to report that iGigBook shines at a gig. Page turns are really quick and the set and gig list editors works well, even though the concept is unnecessarily complex. After a while you'll find your way around the app and can use the song search e.g. when taking requests (strangely enough song search and composer search are different functions). Bluetooth pedals and keyboards works as expected.
Though exclusively a tablet app, iGigBook runs only in portrait mode. In most cases this makes sense, but on smaller tablets I sometimes prefer to show half-pages a little larger in landscape. (This is also nice when using your phone as a backup or always-in-the pocket song reference. There is an iGigBook Mobile version for iPhone, but this is an extra $10.)
Verdict:
Of course, for an app like this the giggability rules. And the iGigBook is great at the gig! However, it is quite messy to set up and the competition is tough. So, as I have the choice, on the iPad I prefer forScore (even though it lacks transposable chord charts), and on Android I have my trusty Fakebook (which does everything I need).
