unrealBook revolutionizes the way musicians access their music libraries on the iPad. Say goodbye to bulky and heavy binders and hello to a small and lightweight device that stores all your music PDF files. With its user-friendly interface, alphabetized and indexed list, finding the right song has never been easier. Designed for the needs of gigging musicians, unrealBook is a must-have tool.

This app has received rave reviews, boasting an impressive 4.5-star rating. It has even been used on tour with Billy Joel, as featured in the renowned Keyboard Magazine in October 2014 and July 2016 editions.

As one of the first apps of its kind, unrealBook has continued to evolve and is heavily relied upon by musicians worldwide for live performances. The developers have taken user feedback into account, shaping the product to meet the needs of its dedicated user base.
