Latest Updates Ruined Things – OnSong Pro Review

Wrong Chords, Deletes Entire Verses Randomly, Quirky Scrolling!! The things that originally made this app great are ruined!!! When I originally purchased this app a few years ago I liked it’s versatility and the general layout. It had some very helpful features. I was able to use it for gigs. Now not so much. One of the many features that seems to have been destroyed during the latest updates is the chords over the lyrics function. After inputting all of the lyrics and chords in “edit”mode and then clicking “done” to exit and return to view the song, the chords are all in the Wrong key. Then going back into “edit” mode the chords are correct. Even clicking “detect key” in metadata does not help. All Chords are still in the wrong key. This makes the app totally useless. Many times now when in “edit mode” I attempt to copy and paste a repetitive chorus after each verse the app somehow deletes anything in between those two points and the verses and pre-chorus are gone. Extremely frustrating and makes this app useless to rely on for a gig having the wrong chords displayed and entire sections missing. The sensitivity when scrolling down a page is also now very quirky. It randomly jumps to other pages when simply trying to move down the page. Sticky notes seem to disappear randomly, not always though, if I enter “edit” mode and then return to original screen sometimes they remain, other times they’re gone. These glitches make this app difficult to trust when having to make a minor change to a lyric. Originally I really enjoyed this app. Now I can’t rely on it. I used to recommend this app to other musicians. If these issues were solved I would easily give 4 or 5 stars.
