Normally, VotivePraise does not feature anything that does not come with a usable free option. But I got to make an exception for this iPhone/iPad app - it simply rocks! The $4.99 price tag will seem quite reasonable once you walk-through its rich features. This one's a definite keeper if you are in worship ministry and happen to own an iPhone/iPad.
OnSong calls itself an ultra-portable, fully-featured chord sheet management app. It certainly lives up to this description offering loads of cool features that provide immense value to modern worship ministries:
- Browse through your imported files manually or by auto-scroll. A USB foot pedal can also be used to flip through sets.
- If all your worship team members have OnSong installed, you can share your sets with each other wirelessly via bluetooth.
- OnSong facilitates displaying song lyrics if you connect your iPhone/iPad to a projector.
- If your iPhone/iPad is connected to a VGA monitor, you can display chord sheets to your entire worship band.
- Play songs directly from your iPod library or set a metronome to maintain a stead song tempo.
- Search, preview and import songs from the Internet into your OnSong library.
- Transpose chord sheets with a mere brush of your finger.
- Export your songs and sets into iTunes file sharing using multiple formats like PDF, ChordPro, OpenSong, HTML, TXT, and OnSong's own proprietary format.
- The app also comes with a 'chord picker', using which chords can be edited as you wish.
- Add sticky notes to your chord sheet to remind the band on song arrangements specific to the way you planned and rehearsed the songs.
- Supports multiple languages (currently English, Dutch, French, Swedish, German, Italian and Spanish)
