What are you using for virtual setlists?

Is anyone using virtual setlists, preferably on ipads?

We are all running our own in-ear mixes, mostly with ipads and I'm wondering if there are any dedicated setlist apps that we could be using.

We are currently using Trello, which works pretty decently, but everything runs through an online server, so when we are performing, and hooked up to our no-internet router for monitor mixes, then the setlists don't sync.

I'm not sure if this is even something that's going to exist now, an ad-hoc network setlist program feels like something that could have existed in the 90s or 2000s, but nobody plans on being without internet now.

I'm still curious what everyone is using, maybe there's something that works better than Trello in other ways.
 
We don't use a set list unless it's a festival gig with a time limit. And that is usually hand written on the back of a program or festival poster.
In club gigs, we do the same 4-5 songs at the beginning of the first set. It gets everyone settled in and gives me a chance to tweek the monitors if needed.
Then we wing it. No order to it. Just whatever song we feel like playing next...1-2-3 go. After playing together nearly twelve years, we can almost read each others minds on-stage. So it works for us.
