Two other ways that I would like to work, still don't and I emailed the developer in Sweden. None, nada, zip.įinally I figured out the "trick" for one and now this afternoon I've been whipping through quite a few songs. I'm not going to list them all, suffice it to say initially, like half of yesterday, none of them worked for me. There are multiple ways to get new songs into Fakebook Pro. After I downloaded all those 5,000 plus songs there are still a whole bunch I need that are not there. You're on your own and all I can say is man o man it ain't easy. The website that does have all that amazing content has a FAQ but it's not sorted or anything and it's pretty useless for specific questions. I was afraid of the cost and learning curve I guess but $149 for a pretty nice 10" tablet and a no brainer access to all that content is really, really cool.Įnjoyment.well, not so much but I'm getting there.įirst for $3 you don't get a help file, you don't get a forum, you get squat. I really cannot believe I didn't do this sooner. If this huge list includes a new bands list it's a big help. All I did is click on the share icon, hit pdf and Fakebook Pro is listed as one of the destination options so it's an instant transfer that gets integrated into the master song list.Īm I ever going to play 5,000 songs, of course not but I'm an active gigging player and I'll get called by either people I know or a referral. I found a bunch of songs I wanted in the irealpro forum that are not part of the preloaded playlists. ![]() Fakebook Pro also has the ability to import anything you want from handwritten cheatsheets or pages from a music book you can take a pic of with your phone, or online or from a scanner or whatever. Those along with the irealpro playlists has to add up to 4-5,000 songs. I spent the evening installing 7 or 8 of these that are 400-500 songs each. But the really big deal is access to a boatload of other playlists in many genres fully indexed and ready to go. It is partially integrated with irealpro and is preloaded with their jazz and pop/rock playlists. Google play works 100% as well as other google apps like google books and drive.Īs amazon update their tablet automatically there is a chance that it might disable google play.īut there again if you are one of those people who follow the rules to the latter then amazon didn't put google play on your tablet, so they don't want you to have it.įakebook Pro is amazing. If I want to buy an app, I will only put the details back on temporary. I don't think it can mess up your tablet, like other stuff like rooting can do, as its only installing apps.īut then again you can never be 100% sure what nasties are in those apps, I was willing to take the chance, but took the precaution of removing my credit card details from google play in case anyone else could access my account. Its only a matter of installing four or five apps in order that they tell you to. My eight inch fire that I bought last Christmas can access the Google play store, took me about 5-10 mins to do it following the instructions from the net. Which would put me into the ball park of the new iPad 9.7 for $350 but dammit all I need is a stupid 10" or larger chart reader. My question is has anybody done this, does this look legit? Or is trying to save $150 not worth it and I should get a double the money tablet. ![]() ![]() I think it's cool that I could turn this into a Google tablet BUT.if doing this winds up turning it into a frisbee I may not be able to return it (well I could try, haha) but they probably would if I exchanged it for a Samsung for double the money. What!? What the heck is this? I do more looking and find this: When I did a Google search for "Amazon irealpro app" the page that certainly looks like it's available has a little blurb off to the right that I didn't see on my phone that says "You are not eligible to purchase this app due to geographical restrictions". ![]() I find all of the apps I'm considering are available including MobileSheets, Fakebook Pro and.irealpro. I had already read the Fire cannot access the Google app store, it uses Amazon's app store so of course I do more research. Yes I know iPads are great for musicians but for the money I just don't need one, all I need is something for charts. Any other Android tablet with decent reviews costs twice that or more with a 10" screen. It's only $149, has a high resolution screen and gets great reviews. The el cheapo's I see online all have terrible reviews, poor screens, etc so I wind up checking out the new Amazon Fire HD 10.1 and bought it last night from Best Buy. This is all I'm using it for, nothing else so all I need is a good, basic inexpensive large screen tablet. After much thinking I finally decided to get a tablet for charts, pdf's, irealpro, etc we've all talked about for gigs.
