Songs - The App For Musicians 4+

I have been using Song One daily for a few weeks now after selecting Song One as my alternative app for creating, storing and performing with my electronic song book. The app is well designed and provides solid and stable performance. When you buy the app, it is a one time fee and includes both the iOS and Mac apps. Syncing across devices and backing up your song library is easy and effective utilizing iCloud. Importing my songs from other apps and the web into Song One is very easy. Creating my own songs as well as editing and refining existing songs is very effective and efficient with the song editing tools included (as outlined in the app's description). Finally, I have found the Song One / Idolumic support team to be very responsive and helpful as I have been transitioning to Song One. Their response time is very quick and they have provided detailed and helpful guidance and information. The team is also open and willing to consider ideas for additional features. I really enjoy using One Song. I am new to song writing and feel the app helps me develop and document my ideas and then provides the tools and means to tweak and polish them as the song develops.

I’ve only been using Song One for a relatively short time. I tried SongBook Pro first but abandoned it quickly after it lost the links to the backing tracks, twice. Then I switched to OnSong but heard it was not the most reliable and I wasn’t real hip on the monthly subscription fee. Several people on FB recommended it Song One so I checked it out. I’m blown away by all the features it has. Mainly I’m a live performer who uses backing tracks and chord sheets. I’ve found that this app does that well and supports sets. And customer support is pretty incredible, too. It’s never taken more than a day for them to respond. I highly recommend this app.

Wish there was a way to record your voice and instrument. At the very least import/insert voice notes from my recording app (not as a backtrack). Hopefully both. A lot of my melody ideas start with a hum, or voice memo. Having a way to import them or record into the app itself for reference instead of scrambeling between apps would've made this Song One my actual #1 for songwritting. I can see this being implemented by recording to song sections (Intro, Chorus) or attaching files to them. One could also record and move the recording around freely like in Evernote. Maybe a combination of both. I'd move them to the bottom in a section called references, but other people may want to have them on top of the lyrics.
