How can I import content from other apps that I use?
OnSong has a lot of ways to import content into your library. While we don't provide support for third-party apps, check with the developer of the app to see if they offer the ability to export content. This will usually appear as an icon that looks like a square with an up arrow. Tapping on this menu will likely display a system menu used for sharing content.
When you install OnSong, you also install an action that is available in this menu called "Add To OnSong". You may need to enable this action. On iOS/iPadOS 13 and higher, scroll to the bottom of the list where actions are listed and tap on the "Edit Actions..." link. You can then enable the Add To OnSong action. On previous versions of iOS, you would scroll to the right on the row of greyscale icons and tap "More...". Then, simply tap on the Add To OnSong option. This will enqueue the content to be imported the next time your open OnSong.
Keep in mind that you agree with terms of service with apps and websites where you receive content. Make sure you have the right to use the content in the way you intend before importing into OnSong.
The Add To OnSong action now works within nearly any app on your device and you can learn more about the Add To OnSong action here in this
video tutorial.
