Summary
OnSong elicits mixed reactions, with many long-time users expressing significant frustration over the app's transition to a subscription model, which has rendered previously purchased features or even entire versions unusable. A prevalent issue, particularly following iOS 26 updates, is frequent app crashes, preventing users from opening the app, performing on stage, or saving work. While some users praise its utility for musicians, noting features like Bluetooth page turner compatibility, metronome, scroll functions, and comprehensive library management, these positive aspects are often overshadowed by widespread complaints about bugs, data loss, poor user experience, and unresponsive support. Additionally, OnSong 2024 specifically has been noted for bugs like reverting saved changes, font size issues, and incompatibility with older app versions.
