MobileSheets acts as a file manager for your sheet music files (PDFs, images or text/chord pro files) and links directly to them on the device. It provides a way to organize and quickly access any of those files. MobileSheets can be configured to use existing files and folders on the device storage, allowing those files to be organized as desired by the user without them having to be copied or moved.

Give MobileSheets a try today and experience the freedom of having all your scores just a simple tap away.

NOTE: This application is designed and optimized for 7" and larger tablets. This application does not include any sheet music - you must provide your own. This application can not play back PDFs, images or text/chord pro files. It can only display those files and play back audio files.

For E-Ink devices, a special e-ink version is available. Contact [e-mail] for more information.

The companion app is for your PC and is not included. You can download the companion app for free here: http://www.zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/companion.html

If Google Play incorrectly states that your device is incompatible, please try the following steps:

1: Reboot your tablet
2: Go to your tablet Settings->Applications->Google Play and tap Clear Data. Do the same for Google Play Services.
3: Load Google Play and install MobileSheets
4: If the installation still does not work, reboot your tablet and try again

That fixes the problem for most users. Several reboots may be required.

Ratings and reviews

Why is the E-Ink version a separate app that has to be purchased from a (sketchy) third-party app store? Why is it not simply a preference toggle? Why do I only find out about the E-Ink version AFTER purchasing the regular version with no option to convert my purchase? It also did a terrible job of picking titles from my music and I had to delete and reimport my entire library, forcing it to use filenames as titles for the reimport. You didn't say why I can't convert or why it's not in Play.

I was enjoying the free version, I got the full version so I could sync my library across all my devices, and immediately found problems with syncing the library. If I change the name of a song on one device and hit sync, then when I hit sync on the other device, instead of changing the name, it creates a duplicate with the changed name. Syncing the library is also a pretty big pain because of a few other reasons that are too big to fit in this review.

I've used virtually every other Android-compatible sheet music viewer/reader out there, paid or free. I finally landed on MobileSheets. I used the free version first and discovered this is the best music reader out there. Knowing this, I was absolutely OK with paying what seemed to be a steep price for anything in the Play Store. Truth is you get what you pay for with the Pro version. When I download charts from our church's scheduling app, they are imported directly into MobileSheets, saving me the extra work of copying from one place to another. The cropping feature is handy, too, as it allows me to make the image as large as possible for easier viewing. I also use it with my Bluetooth page turner without problems. It does way more than I need, but with the alternatives, I had to settle for less, so I'm pleased. MobileSheets has a steeper-than-usual learning curve, but is powerful and worth the effort you put into learning how to use it. I only wish I'd been able to start here instead of wading through all the others.
