Description of App

With OnSong, you can manage huge collections of chord sheets for your band or worship team on a simple, lightweight device. Quickly pull and reorder lists and flip from one song to the next with ease. Transpose and highlight chords or change font size with a brush of your finger! Playing music has never been more simple. This software is built for live performance musicians.

You can import songs directly from online chord repositories, or add your own songs with the built-in editor. Just type the song like you would expect and surround your chords in square brackets inline with your lyrics. It's that easy!

Accessibility Comments

I did not encounter any significant accessibility problems with this app. The interface can be a little dizzying at first, but that is only due to the features of this app (it is a very comprehensive and powerful tool). Thankfully the button labelling is very clear, so that does make the app easier to navigate.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labelling

All buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, but the interface could be easier to navigate and use.
