    This was a helpful review. My background in performing sounds similar to your own. I've been trying to find the right way to manage my setlist for some smaller shows. OnSong isn't the cheapest option and I've been hesitating on pulling the trigger. This convinced me. Thanks!

    This video was AWESOME and so helpful. I was born in 1975 and spent my whole life gigging with index cards as a lead vocalist. About 3 years ago, I switched to the iPad but using photos is annoying and using pages is totally unreliable for some reason, not to mention, the text not enlarging at the click of a button and the SCREEN GOING DARK as you said is a musicians NIGHtMARE! YES IT has happened to me. Will be getting this app and so look forward to it. CURIOUS as to what you do as a back up.... paper lyrics in the trunk of your car???? another iPad???

    Did you update your iPhone to iOS 13? OnSong sent an email out saying to wait as there were some bugs (when a major OS update comes it’s best to wait a while and check that all of your important apps have been made compatible). Mine is working fine on iOS 13.1.1 and the latest OnSong update from the App Store. Check that everything is up to date and if there’s is still an issue contact OnSong and ask them to look at your files. Hope you resolve it!
