StarFor organists, choir directors and traditional worship
Your hymnal, searchable, on every stand
The whole category is built for guitars and chord charts. If your service runs on a hymnal, you have been an afterthought. Bring your collection into Star and give every musician the same page.
One setlist. Four ways to read it.
Nobody in the room is looking at the same page. Star sends each of them the version they can actually read, from the same setlist — and puts the words on the wall while it does it.
The singers
Words only, large enough to read from a stand.
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
The guitarist
Transposed to whatever the singer needs, on the fly.

Traditional worship got skipped
- Setlist apps assume ChordPro and a band. They have no idea what a hymn number is.
- The hymnal lives in a pew rack, so nobody can search it, and the organist’s copy is the only one with the notes in it.
- Sharing the week’s hymns means a photocopy, a photo in a group chat, or retyping the verses.
- When someone new joins the choir there is no way to hand them the repertoire.
What you get
- Bring your hymnals
- Load the collections your congregation actually sings from and keep them together, searchable, in one library rather than scattered across books and binders.
- Find it by first line or number
- Search across hymns, songs, songbooks and scripture at once — the way people actually remember a hymn, which is rarely by its official title.
- Notation, not just chords
- Music sheets and notation sit alongside lyrics, so the organist gets the score and the guitarist gets the chart from the same entry.
- Readings in the same order of service
- Hymns, scripture and spoken moments live in one running order — the whole service, not just the songs.
Where Star is not the right answer
If your congregation sings from one hymnal and never changes it, the printed book in the pew rack is already free, needs no battery and never loses Wi-Fi — buy more copies, not a subscription. And if what you want is a specific denominational hymnal delivered as licensed content, GIA’s Hymnals app sells exactly that today and Star does not: Star holds the collections you bring to it. The case for Star starts when the hymns have to reach a choir, a band and a screen at the same time.
Questions
Does Star come with my denomination’s hymnal already loaded?
Star lets your organisation bring its own hymnal collections into the app. Which published hymnals are available to load depends on licensing — ask us about yours and we will tell you honestly where it stands.
Can the choir see it without each buying a subscription?
Yes. Organisation plans are priced per organisation, not per member, so adding singers does not change the bill.
What about people who want paper?
Export the order of service so the people who want a printed sheet still get one. Going digital does not have to mean everyone goes digital on the same Sunday.
Put next Sunday’s hymns on every stand
One order of service, the same page for the organist, the choir and the band.
