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.

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
