Features
Everything in PraisePad.
All 56 things it does, by what you’re doing. Each one opens its help, step by step.
Bringing your songs in
The songs you have, in on the first day.
- One Upload for every file ChordPro, OnSong, text, Word files, PDFs, photos, and an OnSong backup, in any mix at once. Each kind is sorted and says what it costs.
- Find a song on the web Search free chord charts by name, read exactly into PraisePad's style, and preview them in any key before you import.
- PDFs read, or kept Up to 50 PDF charts at once: read into charts you can transpose, or kept as PDFs that fill the stage.
- Photos and pasted text A photo of a printed chart or text pasted from anywhere, read into a chart with its sections and chords.
- Checked before it's saved Every song shows for a look first, with its title, key, and CCLI number, and its chart open to fix in place.
- Your OnSong library and your team An OnSong backup brings its songs; a spreadsheet brings your people.
Songs and charts
One library for the whole team, every chart in every key.
- Any key, a capo, or numbers Transpose a chart, add a capo, or read it in Nashville numbers. Each person can try another key without changing the band's.
- A chart editor with a check Sections, the sequence, the key, and a chart check before Sunday that points to the line.
- Every version kept Each save is a version, so you can see what changed and go back.
- Arrangements The same song more than one way: an acoustic version in a lower key, a Christmas one.
- PDF charts beside typed ones Keep a song's PDF and play it on stage, filling the screen.
- Chord diagrams Guitar, bass, mandolin, piano, and ukulele, in your own tuning, following the capo.
- Notes for each position A note for the keys or the bass, shown to whoever plays it, on the service and on stage.
- A songs list that fits Search, one Filter, the columns you choose, an A to Z down the side, and Add to Sunday from the list.
- Choose songs, make a set Choose several songs, then add, play, or print them as one, or let PraisePad put them in an order to sing.
Practice during the week
Learn it the way you'll play it.
- The player bar A recording keeps playing while you move around PraisePad. Play all, Previous and Next, Shuffle, and Now playing.
- Reference recordings YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, or your own upload on each song, with a star on the main version.
- Find a recording The closest matches lined up for a song, or for the whole list, to hear and pick without leaving PraisePad.
- Play the set A service's songs, in order, one after another.

Services and sets

Scheduling
Ask the right people, once.
- Ask people to play Each person answers from the email, no account needed, and reminders go out on their own.
- Fill open spots A draft that fills the empty spots on the coming services, around time away and your rules.
- Rules in your own words "Tom and Anna serve the same weeks", written the way you'd say it.

- Find a sub Someone can't make it: PraisePad asks the people who could cover.
