## Description

OnSong 2026 is the premier Chrome extension for musicians to prepare, practice, and perform. Import chords and lyrics from Dropbox, Google Drive, PDFs, SongSelect, Planning Center, and more; build your library and pull setlists from anywhere, with the OnSong Console for browser-based library management. The base plan starts free with up to 30 songs, then unlocks more with Essentials or Premium.

During performances, enjoy hands-free control with foot pedals and autoscrolling, tempo and time-signature settings, and MIDI events. Share in real time with your band, annotate charts, print or export, and use stage visuals like video backgrounds, projector output, and confidence monitors to stay in sync and perform at your best. Premium features extend this with advanced annotations, timelines, backing tracks, and more.

## Review summary

OnSong 2026 is valued for its robust library, easy set-list organization, and team-sharing, plus import support and long-standing reliability. But users repeatedly report bugs, unreliable transposing, a subscription-heavy pricing model, a clunky UI, and flaky sharing across devices. Overall, the depth of features is admired, yet execution and cost concerns drive dissatisfaction and push some to seek alternatives.

### Pros

- Centralized library and easy set-list creation for live gigs
- Team sharing / beam capabilities with other OnSong users, keeping music in one place
- Long-standing, trusted app used by musicians for many years
- Robust import/format options (text/pdf) and song formatting capabilities

### Cons

- Frequent bugs, glitches, and crashes, especially after updates, with performance issues during gigs
- Unreliable transpose/key changes; changing keys often doesn't work and capo is a workaround
- Subscription pricing and feature gating; many users feel the cost is high and incompatible with a one-time purchase model
- Clunky, non-intuitive UI with difficult navigation and buried options
- Sharing/sync issues within teams; beaming to other devices often fails or doesn't propagate
