Not to mention amazing forScore application and tons of others. And only THIS reason alone is the first and most important to consider (decent and most convenient and suitable screen for this purpose). And if to talk about reading sheet music, they are nothing to do with their horrible 16:9 not big enough screens.
BAND IN A BOX VS IREAL PRO ANDROID
But I even didn't consider Android tablets! Because even despite I'm an Android user, I belive that Android tablets just piece of crap. And I should say, I was deciding between iPad Pro 12.9" and Microsoft Surface Book (13.5"). I've read a lot of opinions, I've seen a lot of videos. Last days I was very intensively learning this sphere. I'm a Windows user (PC) and Android user (smartphone). "but I'd say it is so good you should switch from iOS to get it." Huge improvement! Import time is reduced by at least 50% on Android 5 and up.)

BAND IN A BOX VS IREAL PRO PDF
(Update: From Fakebook version 1.6 there is a highly optimized PDF parser. On the other hand, once the songs are imported paging between them is instantaneous. Importing and indexing a complete PDF Real Book (over 500 pages) may take more than an hour. One drawback is that the initial PDF parsing is rather slow, and there's also a disclaimer on the Fakebook import link site about this. The same can be said about the chord and lyrics editor added in Fakebook Pro version 2.5, it is quick and easy to use.But instead, Fakebook does automatic cropping at import. The lack of zooming or cropping tools may seem limiting at first, as scanned and commercial sheet music often comes with quite wide margins, necessary for paper copies but a waste of screen on a phone or tablet.

The excellent search also works independently of source or type and finds anything immediately, whether it's in the title, the composer, the book, a comment or the style. All types of music are created equal and you can mix and match them all in the set lists.

In Fakebook the marker and highlighter pens are always available and works in the same way on chord charts, PDF music, ChordPro or OnSong lyrics and photos.
