"Game Changer - This app is one of the most amazing tools I have used in my years of teaching marching band. So much you can do with it, no more carrying around paper charts trying to explain what a move should look like, students can watch, step-by-step, and see their coordinates the entire way. A total game changer for my band!" - SHS Drumline
"Simply the best drillbook app on the App Store - As a band director, I've fallen victim to carrying around the "large binder of charts" that the profession demands. Not any more!! Upon seeing what this app can offer, it's well worth the price, both for students and directors. Seeing every dot on the field in motion and, at any time, having the ability to click on a member and see their dot book coordinate is a massive timesaver and makes rehearsals infinitely more efficient." - NBRFWooo!
"Wonderful tool for drill - Beautiful, well polished, feature rich, prefect for quickly knowing what the drill should look like and the exact coordinates for any student." - Wooky
"This is the best app for reading drill - I seriously can't say enough about how well this app works. Uploading a show is simple, it updates easily, it's excellent and the developer is very responsive to issues." - Roskoski

I don't think you should have to sign in before you even get to use this app. I mean, I pressed "sign up" and it just told me "invalid email".
Nice Idea but demo is too locked down to eval

The interface looks really nice. I would like to rate it just ONE star, but I didn't cause it looks like the developer may be just starting and it appears to be good start to an extremely useful product to the band world. I don't want to slow down the efforts. However, the App is so locked down it's really hard to evaluate whether the app is actually useful. Plus, I was disappointed cause I didn't see in the description it's only a demo and that the functions are so severely limited. You can't even play the demo drill with out the pop-up box wanting you to upgrade. A great idea, just needs to be unlocked a little more and be called "Lite" or something.
Nice App.

This is a very nice app. The only problem I am having is that the app is crashing when I create a new set.

Wonderful tool for drill

Beautiful, well polished, feature rich, prefect for quickly knowing what the drill should look like and the exact coordinates for any student. I no longer have to wait for a student to pull out their drill coordinates to tell me where they should be, now I just ask what there drill number is and I can look it up faster and more efficiently. Only issue is that it does not support follow the leader or rotations in the animation, but considering how the app works, that is understandable. Thank you for developing such a fantastic and much needed app!
Shuts down

Every time I try to add a show it shuts down. Why isn't there a way to get $ back for worthless apps.
Simply the best drillbook app on the App Store

As a band director, I've fallen victim to carrying around the "large binder of charts" that the profession demands. Not any more!! Upon seeing what this app can offer, it's well worth the price, both for students and directors. Seeing every dot on the field in motion and, at any time, having the ability to click on a member and see their dot book coordinate is a massive timesaver and makes rehearsals infinitely more efficient. If you're a director, my suggestion is to spend the extra 2-3 dollars and upgrade to pro. Many more features and perks that would really only benefit those in charge. If you're a student, the basic version will certainly be more than enough, particularly for "visual learners." Please understand that this is NOT a drill writing program! You technically can write drill using DrillBook, but it's clumsy and unintuitive. If you're looking for a great drill book program on iOS, this is by far the best and the competition is not even close.
