What's new
Every improvement since launch, in plain words, newest first. Worship teams using PraisePad see the same list in the app, with a way to try each one.
Press the question mark on any page for plain answers about that page, step by step, with a button that takes you there.
Same app, same songs, same everything. One word is easier to search for and to tell other churches about.
When you ask PraisePad for help, our support team may open your church to look, for up to two hours at a time. Settings now lists every visit: who, when, how long, and why.
An intro typed as | C | C Dm | now changes key with the song, shows in the chord color, and hides in Lyrics view, like every other chord.
On a wide monitor, Songs, Services, People, Schedule, Home, and Reports use more of the screen, so lists and charts sit side by side comfortably.
Take a screenshot, open Report a problem, and paste it straight in. It's attached for you, named with the time.
Changed the set list by typing what you wanted? One tap puts it back the way it was, songs, notes, and lengths included.
The song usage report lists exactly what to enter on CCLI's reporting site: each song's CCLI number and how many times you used it.
A church with lots of PDFs and recordings gets its export in parts, so every file is included.
Mark up a PDF chart the way you would on paper: a pen, a highlighter, an eraser, and notes pinned to a spot on the page.
Practicing at home or playing somewhere without Wi-Fi? Download a single song from its page, just like a whole service.
A guest musician with a link can keep the set on their device until the link ends, and follow the leader's page when you play together.
Billing shows how much of this month's AI allowance your church has used, and when it resets.
When the chart check finds something, it tints the line in the editor, and Show line takes you straight there.
Add a location to each service time, like “Room 204”. It shows with the times everywhere, and in your calendar.
Amber, blue, green, or the same as the words: pick what reads best from where you stand.
When the leader turns the page, everyone following turns with them, not just to the right section.
Link to thisIf a service you're on moves, is cancelled, or you're taken off it, you're told, after ten quiet minutes, so a few quick edits make one message.
PraisePad drafts the schedule for up to twelve weeks: who plays what, around time away and your church's rules, shared out fairly.
Write rules the way you'd say them, like “Tom and Anna serve the same weeks”, and PraisePad follows them when it schedules.
Stage view on a song's page opens that song alone, any time, with no service needed, in the key you're previewing.
Link to thisDrop in a folder of PDF charts. Each one is read into an editable chart, with its details filled in and themes suggested.
Tell PraisePad the theme, a scripture, or paste the sermon notes, and it suggests songs from your own library, with keys and the reason for each.
Press Ctrl+K (or ⌘K) and type what you want: “swap the second and third songs”, “add a welcome before the first song”. You see it before and after, and nothing changes until you say so.
Link to thisThe plan suggests the key your worship leader usually leads a song in, or one that fits their vocal range.
Show the shapes for every chord in the song on stage and in print. With a capo on, the diagrams follow it.
Link to thisThe editor checks a chart for chords it can't read, sections the song order misses, and a key that doesn't match, with an optional AI look at the chords.
Link to thisSet a service type to repeat, weekly or on the days you choose, and PraisePad keeps the next weeks of services ready.
The Playlist tab gathers each song's reference recordings in set order, so the team can listen through before rehearsal.
Link to thisAdd a note to a song for the keys, the bass, or any position, and only the people playing it see it, on the service and on stage.
Link to thisEach service has its own Updates: a place for “we're starting at 8:30” and the like, on the service page and on stage.
Import a chart written in numbers from a PDF, a photo, or pasted text. It asks for the key, and saves it as chords you can move to any key.
Link to thisDownload a service and everything it needs, so the set is on your iPad even when the church Wi-Fi isn't.
The leader turns the page, and every screen in the band follows. No more “which verse are we on?”.
See which songs you've used, how often, and which haven't been heard in a while, for any dates you choose.
Import your OnSong library (with its set lists), your people from a spreadsheet, or any chart from a photo, a PDF, or pasted text.
Ask people to serve, and they answer from the email. See everyone at a glance on the schedule, and your own services in My schedule.
Your whole set, full screen, sized to fit. Turn pages with a tap or a Bluetooth pedal, add notes and drawings, and keep time with the metronome.
Build each service: songs in their keys, items like the welcome and the offering, and who's on the team, with the open spots shown.
