OnSong is built for the stage. Tap to turn pages or go hands-free with wireless foot pedals or intelligent autoscrolling. No more clumsy page turning on cluttered music stands. Every aspect of the song is at your fingertips.

BE SEEN AND HEARD
OnSong features powerful video features that go well beyond other apps. Display lyrics on a projector or an HDTV with a video adapter, AppleTV, or Google Cast-compatible device. Compose custom backgrounds with still or motion graphics, or live video¹ feeds for dynamic performances. Stay on the same page with your band with confidence monitors you control on-stage. While youre at it, run stage lighting too¹. OnSong is the ultimate creative tool for musicians.

Pros and cons of OnSong 2020 app for iPhone and iPad

OnSong 2020 app good for

I love it but have two proposals: the integration of the iPad Pro Pen (that is just done in the newest version, thank you!) and further leadsheet sources beside rwtc ... Youll get my sixth star for these two features!
Im a casual jammer playing with friends in living rooms. Also try the odd open mic when I get up confidence. No matter what your ability, this app is perfect. All my music organized, the key and capo feature works perfectly, Im setting up songbooks and set lists. Everytime I take it out to sessions it causes a stir. I had occasion to ask a support question, response was prompt and helpful. Just buy it. It works. Period.
Tremendous app. I cant imagine using paper song charts ever again. Ive had a number of contacts with the app developer over the last three years with technical questions, and without fail Ive received prompt, courteous, and helpful responses. I highly recommend this app.
Onsong has changed the way I handle my backing tracks for my musical exploits. It has made it so much easier and qucker to access my tracks. New operating system changed the way onsong performed and within 24 hours onsong support had a work around for me. Just a great product
OnSong is the one and only reason why I have an iPad for a tablet. Best app for playing music live. Share songs and sets with mates, mark up sheets with notes, import from various sources including CCLI. Control the screen of your band mates so they have what the leader is ready to play. AMAZING!!! And the customer service is unbeatable.
Throughout the years, Onsong has progressed so much. It is very handy and appreciated

Some bad moments

Spent many, many hours organizing songs in onsong. Did backups routinely. Lost my iPad and find I cant restore anything because of an error that support has been working on for a month. Very disappointed.
Terrible - especially for $30. In-app purchases? I just paid $30 and you want to change me another $3 so I can "draw on" or "highlight" notes? There is no ability to move tab or chord charts. Chord charts can only be placed at the top or beneath your lyrics sheet. No ability to change font formatting/colour for verses or chorus - only full lines. I was duped. Very unhappy.
Please fix this!! Cant open app after newest update. Love the program but. I have a iPhone 6.......
I have an app that Ive been very happy with called "Songbook." It will display songs in landscape with a split screen so a long song will has all its lyrics on one screen without having to scroll. OnSong will not. Also, when creating custom colors for chords, the tint bar will not move from clear to dark so you cant create custom colors. Also, when viewing a song, you cant just scroll to the next song alphabetically like Songbook allows. Also, Songbook backs up all of the songs in its database as individual files (Chordpro) and its very convenient for transfers, etc. oh well, I hope Someone is listening and will tweak this app.
This started out to be a good app but its more trouble than its worth anymore. They must have gotten too big for themselves. The customer service is no longer there and there are many bugs with this app.. They had me purchase chromecast and it works fine with everything but onsong. To bad, everything is sell, sell, sell for them now. Ill be using Songbook moving forward....
On song updated and wiped out my entire songs!!! I am a praise and worship leader and have been using on song and as of today I will be deleting this app and moving to a more reliable app!!!
