Question for tablet users only

Dear guitar buddies worldwide,
The time has come for me to buy a new tablet.
My good old Apple iPad 2 is now 15 years old. It still works fine but it’s prone to freezing/crashing while attempting to negotiate the internet of 2026.
I’ve had fairly good luck with it over the years, using music apps like “Deep Dish GigBook” and “forScore”.
At the time I purchased these inexpensive apps, they were compatible only with Apple tablets but not the IBM platform.
”forScore” was the best one for me. Although it had a clunky and sometimes infuriating user interface, it was capable of displaying lead sheets while playing my homemade MP3 backing tracks and so it was great for solo gigs.
So here’s my question—- can anybody tell me about the latest and greatest music apps in 2026?
I’m hoping to find one a lot like my old “forScore” but hopefully more user-friendly, to run on my new tablet.
Can any of you tech whizzes out there recommend one?
Which platform does it run on: Apple or IBM?
Thanks!
Will

Are you talking IBM or Android? I think you mean Android.
There are a few apps that I like that are only on iPhone (itabla pro, which is definitely not necessary for Gypsy Jazz but is a cool practice tool) but most everything you need is available for Android.
Mostly I use Irealpro and TE Tuner. And Open Camera sometimes.
