A very complete Apple ecosystem: MIDI, backing tracks linked to Apple Music or Spotify, pedals, autoscroll, and control of nearby devices through OnCue or Connect. Its pricing page lists iPad, iPhone and Mac.
If the band needs MIDI, backing tracks or autoscroll, stay on OnSong. And if the leader plays on an iPad: OnSong covers iOS and Mac per its pricing page, whereas our leader app is on Android (followers, though, are in a browser — iPad included).
