About

Description

This Android app brings you most of the Praise & Worship lyrics used by Tamil churches all over the world. Now, you can worship anytime, anywhere with all the lyrics you need.

Why Worship Songs?

Why develop another app when there are tons of similar apps? Worship Songs was developed as we couldn't find an app with latest Praise & Worship songs with both Tamil and Romanised text. So, Worship Songs is the world's first mobile app that offers Romanised text for Tamil Christian lyrics. Many Tamil congregations also sing English songs. Worship Songs provides many popular English songs as well so you need not look for another app. And finally, the songs database evolves rapidly. New songs are added often, so you will never miss your favourite song. Did we mention that Worship Songs is open source? Yes, you can be a part of this project. Isn't that great?

What are the features offered?

  • A large collection of latest Tamil and English Praise & Worship song lyrics.
  • Romanised text for Tamil songs.
  • Ability to quickly search for a song by typing the first few characters in English. For example, typing "Aara" would help you locate the song "Aarathanai Naayagan Neerae" (ஆராதனை நாயகன் நீரே)
  • Songs grouped by Authors & Albums.
  • Elegant tabbed interface to navigate quickly between Songs, Authors, Albums and Playlists.
  • Manage song lists through "Playlists". This will help you to organize songs that will be used in next Sunday service, Small Group meetings or simply to manage your favourite list.
  • Increase/decrease the font size, distinguish Tamil text from Romanised by setting a different colour.
  • Keep the screen awake while viewing a song.
  • Professional design with no ads.

FAQ

Q. I want to request a new feature. How do I go about that?

The songs database and the app are maintained in separate Github projects. This is because the songs database is shared by both the Android and iOS version of Worship Songs.

Absolutely. In fact, the songs database that is shipped with this app is used by Tamil Methodist Church Subang Jaya. If you want to do that in your Church, you would need to install a software named OpenLP and replace it's default songs database with the one that ships with this app.
