App for lyrics and chords that I can tap and turn the page? (self.guitars)

I'm trying to find the optimal setup for me but I'm struggling with it, I'd love to hear your suggestions.

  • I wanted something that I can have a lyrics data bank for me to use offline if I need to.
  • I wanted to be able to tap and flip the page... not scroll. Scroll requires me to be precise on the move during a song... can't do it. A pedal would work but this is for me to play at campfires and stuff, I don't want to carry a Bluetooth pedal around.

I downloaded Ultimate Guitar and it's good in the sense that it has a lot of songs... but the autoscroll sucks because sometimes there's a section in the middle with details of a riff and I don't want to do that so I have to stop and move the song forwards. I guess if there's an app that would download the lyrics/chords and keep it on the phone and another that simply reads files and I can tap and turn a page, that would work as well.. How do you guys do it?

I use ForScore on my iPad. I have a Bluetooth pedal that advances the pages, but you can tap also. It imports PDFs just fine, so if you had your lyrics in that format, that would work

Yeah I had seen that one but it seems to be just for the Apple environment and I only have Androids... thanks though.
