Comments on OpenSongApp - Songbook for Android

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ Ryan Hughes · Jul 21, 2021

Awesome App! I've got a gig coming up and need a song cheat sheet for 50 songs. Song structure, pedal settings, notes/triggers, etc. I love the customizable interface and it's been working great so far. I'd recommend it to anyone

★★★★☆ 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.

★★★★★ 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.

★★☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ robert treadaway · Jan 4, 2024

Worthless the phone app is easy to get to sheets and put in a folder, but I can't get the songs to load from the main folder the songs are there but can't load them The tablet app is worse very complicated and seems like 15 places to go to upload and load a song

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

Trust & Safety: Requested permissions include location, network, Bluetooth, camera, microphone, storage, NFC, and more, which align with live-performance features (bluetooth pedal control, scanner/import of sheet music, media access) and typical app functionality. The app uses a dynamic receiver permission noted as DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED, and relies on widely-used AndroidX libraries and Firebase, indicating standard security practices for an app of this scope.
