Transfer data from another SongBook
If you already have SongBook+ on one device and want to transfer the same data to another device, you can create a backup of the SongBook+ data on one device and restore this backup on the other device.
There are various ways to make a backup of the SongBook+ data and restore the backup. Please see the page Backing Up and Restoring Your Data for that.
If both devices use the same Apple ID and have access to the internet, the easiest way is through iCloud.
