Pros & Cons

  • All features are available for free with no ads or in-app purchases.
  • Broad format support, including OpenSong, ChordPro, iOS formats, and PDF viewing on Android.
  • Live-use oriented modes (Performance, Stage, Presentation) and robust import/export capabilities.
  • Song creation and management: create/edit songs, build sets, and add notes or scriptures.
  • Focus is primarily on OpenSong-era formats; competitors promoting more diverse formats or live chart features may offer broader format coverage.
  • No explicit cloud sync or real-time collaboration features mentioned, which some competitors advertise.
  • Some competitors market additional 'live' or 'book' style features; OpenSongApp emphasizes sets and OpenSong compatibility rather than those specific features.

Comments on OpenSongApp - Songbook for Android

★★★★☆ Richard Bragg · Mar 23, 2021
Most of the time this just works and issues with the app (bugs) are swiftly dealt with. Issues with the "songs" aren't likely to be the fault of the app. I like the ability to import from Websites including Worship Together saving lots of time trying to enter songs in. Imports from more main stream chord sites can be more down to whoever produced the download, sometimes chords don't line up with words, not a fault with the app that though. A means to share song directories with PC based versions (esp Linux) so you could more easily edit songs, move songs around, drop duplicates etc. would be really cool, e.g. backup to Dropbox, Megasync etc. and import from the same. I highly recommend this.
★★★★★ Suresh Jr · Jul 9, 2023
Wonderful app for Song lyrics, Feeling like, now I got Correct tool in my hand for organizing songs with my teammates. Thanks for all the developers of this app. I will Continue to pray for you, guys.
★★★★★ A Google user · Feb 14, 2024
The constant development of this app by Gareth warrants 5 stars. Just adjusting to the testator update... but it's really good. The fact that you can share Open Song and other formats is ace.
★☆☆☆☆ Jef · Sep 10, 2021
Not compatible with Chord Pro format. Does not convert well. Messy pasted songs from a text file with Chord Pro format. Not the least bit intuitive. I prefer SongBook Pro.
★☆☆☆☆ Carl Minchin · Jun 15, 2026
Unfortunately nonfunctional. After installing you are taken to a screen where you select your folder location. The problem is that the screen just loops infinitely instead of accepting any location regardless of internal or SD, root or documents or a new folder. Really a shame, I was excited to have a promising chords' app after songsterr took my money and ran.
★★☆☆☆ Terry Mechan · Dec 14, 2025
Not intuitive when importing osb backing. You should just be able to click on osb, and it installs all existing songs folders and sets.
★☆☆☆☆ Austin Tan · Mar 3, 2024
New version crashed when create new song

I am constantly looking to improve and update this app and welcome suggestions, requests, etc.

OpenSongApp is designed to compliment the Open Source application for Linux/Windows/Mac called OpenSong that allows churches to project song lyrics, Bible verses, etc. You can check them out (and support them) at: http://www.opensong.org

If you're looking for an alternative to the other expensive apps out there that doesn't see you as a customer, someone to make money from, or someone to bombard with ads, you've come to the right place.

OpenSongApp for Android started out free of charge, is currently free of charge and will stay free of charge for the lifetime of the app. All of my features are available. No additional in app purchases, unlocks, adverts, enhancements, etc. You get it all, all the time!
If you don't like it, no worries, move on, life is too short!
