Update: This app just charged my yearly renewal fee but it isn’t unlocking all the features. I’ve tried to do restore purchase on my iPhone, iPad, & the web but it still doesn’t give me access to all my songs. This is the biggest downfall to songwriting apps. They never get long term updates. Use a common note taking app or a word editor that gets constant updates like Google Docs or else you are liable to lose your work.This developer has a long history of making great songwriting apps. He wrote the gold standard which was SongWriter and followed it up with SongHub after SongWriter was bought by another developer. That developer didn't continue to develop the app so it has stagnated. Since songwriting is such a small niche market I am more than happy to pay a subscription if it keeps the app stable & updated in the marketplace. It takes money to develop and continue to update an app. This app does what it needs to do. It's a great place to store lyrics of songs you're writing or the songs of others that you cover. The songs print beautifully if you need copies for a choir or others to follow. So why 4 stars? Having used the previous two this app doesn't feel quite as cohesive as SongWriter which I still consider the gold albeit dated standard. I'm not a fan of the home screen as it takes longer to get into your music. I would like to see a more modern and intuitive UI. I am a fan of the syncing feature that syncs everything between iPhone & iPad. It's not perfect but it's the best songwriting app on the app store.

When I signed up for this... I didn’t know that I had to pay for a subscription and thank god I didn’t.... I would strongly avoid this app if you don’t wanna pay for a subscription.

I thought I’d try this for a month, permanently if it works as described. Initially, I was confused as to why the app and online versions don’t recognize my subscription. I contacted the developer via their Facebook page and they responded within a day and fixed the problem. I’ve been a devoted user of the original Songhub app for years, but it’s just become too buggy without support, and a recent iPad crash convinced me to move to another platform that has online sync and backup. I’m not aware of another songwriting app that offers recording, dictionary, set lists, and other features. Songhub 2 seems to do most of it, and if we keep supporting and guiding the developer, it may eventually incorporate all the features of the original, plus the benefits of backup and device sync.

I’ve gone back and forth on a few different songwriting apps, each having nice features that others don’t. I’m currently back using Songhub 2, as Songhub started functioning inconsistently. What I would like to see now is the ability to change font size for the pdf - it’s too small!
