  • Doesn’t always work with Ultimate Guitar

    I’ve sort of enjoyed using song one, but I’m not having much luck bringing songs over from Ultimate Guitar. I have exported a lot of songs from UG, sometimes they come over, more often they don’t. I have no idea why.

  • I-Tunes

    I’ve asked these questions numerous times via you webpage and e-mail. To date NO response. - One more time…can I add music from i-tunes? - Will the music PLAY? - Can I THEN modify the selected song to add lyrics? - Can I additionally include the score, including chords and chord diagrams? Your previous answers to potential customers were, I’ve found, ambiguous, vague and off topic. Hopefully, by my SPECIFIC questions, it will help you provide the information to help decide whether to purchase your product.

  • One of my favorite apps

    This is an awesome app. It does SO much, although I got it just to organize charts. Searching charts, transposing, creating sets, and so much more are all so easy. I had a printing issue and Peter, the developer, addressed it so refreshingly fast. I love this app.

  • Fantastic Software!

    After using another software for years, that after making big changes, went totally haywire on me and I ended up losing my entire library of songs--which had taken me years to build, I switched to Song One and never regretted it. It's rock solid stability, incredibly rapid support response, and its worry-free automatic backup of everything to the iCloud make it just a few of the reasons I love Song One and rely on it to manage my repertoire, lyrics, chords and backing tracks.

  • It's pretty.

    It really is a lovely app and looks great in print preview. But it is so needlessly complicated that if you don't use it for awhile, it's so frustrating to do simple things like edit chords, add a capo (which at least finally functions as expected), etc. But the worst part about it is that by design it rewrites your chords to its own sensibilities (e.g., you can't have a D2... it is immediately converted to add9). And there is NO way to override it. So if you are using chord sheets, but you have band members using lead sheets, you cannot match what they have if you use this app and the app disagrees. I had such high hopes for this app, and that's why I paid the substantial price for it... but if you want to voice chords, you know, YOUR way... it's unusable, and sadly I didn't figure that out before paying for it.

  • Solid app, very responsive developer

    Switched from OnSong because I didn’t want the subscription model, and I’m glad I did. Perfect? No, but there are so many different needs, that’s near impossible. The developer has been super responsive and added a ton of useful features just in the time I’ve had it - not even a year I think. Worth supporting and sticking with.

  • Almost perfect, hoping for ability to record voice/instrument

    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.

  • Excellent tool

    I invested a lot of time looking for a friendly tool to use and I got this one. I had used on my iPad, iPhone but two weeks ago I began using on the MacMini y WOW even easier. All the tutorials are spectaculars and I really suggest to invest time to read and it doesn’t time too much time but the benefits will be incredible……..Val

  • Very Impressive

    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.
