About

LyricScroll

Read full description

LyricScroll is a lyrics auto-scroller built for the stage - not for reading along at your desk. Most teleprompter apps make you scroll manually, or guess at a flat scrolling speed that never quite matches how you actually sing a song. LyricScroll works differently: you tap through your lyrics once, in time with a reference recording, and the app remembers exactly how long each line, intro, and instrumental break should last. From then on, it scrolls itself - highlighting the right line at the right moment, every time you perform. TAP-TIMED PRECISION Record the real timing of your song once. Every line switches exactly when it should, down to a fraction of a second - not on a generic scroll speed. INTROS & INSTRUMENTAL BREAKS Mark the instrumental sections of a song as part of the lyric flow itself, with a live countdown so you always know when to come back in. BUILT FOR SETLISTS Group songs into named, reorderable setlists for a specific gig. Auto-advance between songs with a simple tap-to-start between each one. DESIGNED FOR THE STAGE True-black background, large glanceable type, and a single accent color designed to be read at a distance under stage lighting - not a repurposed reading app. HANDS-FREE CONTROL Works with Bluetooth page-turn pedals, so you never have to touch your phone mid-song. YOUR OWN LIBRARY, SYNCED Every song and setlist syncs across your own devices via iCloud - no account, no login, no server of ours in between. LyricScroll Pro unlocks unlimited songs, custom fonts and adjustable text size, and removes ads - a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LyricScroll at none against SongSheet Pro's 7. LyricScroll also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). SongSheet Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
