If you're looking for an alternative to the other expensive apps out there that doesn't see you as a customer, someone to make money from, or someone to bombard with ads, you've come to the right place.
OpenSongApp for Android started out free of charge, is currently free of charge and will stay free of charge for the lifetime of the app. All of my features are available. No additional in app purchases, unlocks, adverts, enhancements, etc. You get it all, all the time!
If you don't like it, no worries, move on, life is too short!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Goop app
5 ★Had to write a review because I think the current score is criminally underrated. This app is better than the other paid apps out there. It is feature rich and looks great, plus it is completely free. The only downside is that it is a bit complicated to learn and use.
5 ★Not a review...is this the same OpenSong that I have on my p.c. ? Been using for years but now cant print my lead sheets. posted on line asking for help but have not heard anything...😭 I love it because I can print formatted lead sheets..
5 ★Extremely recommended. Not just because its free, but because it has everything you would need as musician and a lot more. It is well documented and supported. Always improving.
4 ★It's great! Being able to have my song sheets exactly how I like them is definitely worth it! Learning it took a little time but fine now. One issue I've had which I can't seem to get my head around. It seems I've hit a maximum song limit of 91. Each time I add one, it deletes the last song I had up. I have plenty of storage on my phone but can't seem to add more songs because of it.
3 ★Thanks for creating the app. I have found great use for it. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult to import songs from the internet, for example, from Ultimate Guitar. The app was previously opening desktop versions of websites (which I found more useful than mobile versions) but now it doesn't. Also the transpose function is more complex to use, because I must now save the key of the song first before transposing... The older app was easier and more straight forward to use.
1 ★Importing or restoring backed up songs not working. It always show error when importing from a backup file (Google Drive). Its very dangerous and frustrating to loose all my songs.
2 ★Where do you find 'new songs'. Before there was an option that was clearly marked. Now there is an index that didn't stipulate what you can look for. You have to go through every single one to look for it .... just not easy to use and time wasting.
5 ★Update: 5 years on and app still going strong in our church, updates keep coming and app is still free with no ads, thank you so much for the hard work! 2024 Amazing app, was looking for something similar to Onsong for android and not only is the app great, but also free. Have 3 fire tablets sync'd together for use in our Church. 2019
5 ★It was awesome 👌
