Importing songs and setlists from earlier versions of Lyric Pad was created by bradreed
It seems from the instructions to import your old data, one has to have the previous and current versions installed on the same device. I changed to a new device so this technique isn't going to work for me. Can I copy the songs and setlists of my old version into Lyric Pad 3?
I started using Lyric pad when it was free and then upgraded to the first paid version. Now I'm feeling abandoned as I have hundreds of songs that I would like to import into Lyric Pad 3, that I just purchased.

Hey Brad, i'm also struggling with version 3. Version 1 was perfect for my needs and have been using it forever, but the new version is very problematic. To get my songs across, i plugged my new tablet into my PC and just manually copied my txt files from my dropbox to the relevant folders (in this one they're in the folder /Android/data/com.dna.lyricpad3/files/). To my frustration, i can't get dropsync to access the lyricpad folder anymore. Why the lyric folders don't go under the user folder, i don't understand.
Like a lot of my fellow musos, we often call out songs on the fly when we play live because we never know what kind of crowd we're gonna get, so i tailor what we play based on what i see. It works really well. This new version doesn't let me do that anymore. All i want is a songlist in front of me where i can tap a song and it opens. That's it. Can't do that anymore. Can't even list the songs in the setlist by artists either, for crying out loud!!
I can't even transfer version 1 to my new tablet (and believe me, i've tried!). I don't know if anyone will get back to you in here. The last time i posted for help no-one got back to me and i had to work things out by myself. I've also downloaded SongbookPro as a comparison. It was pretty easy to import all my lyric text files into it surprisingly. It seems to be very similar to the first LyricPad, so i may stick with that and get V3 refunded. Will see how i go.
I'll let you know if i work anything else out.

Thank you for your reply! I agree completely about Lyric version 1 meeting my needs and wanting to change the order of my setlist on the fly. Lyric pad 3 is of little use to me. I switched to SingerPro which is a teleprompter application. There are quite a few. While SingerPro does not help in managing my lyric files, I can do without this function as I essentially do the same thing on my laptop by categorizing my files into folders. For me, SingerPro is a better solution than the teleprompter systems that cost over $1000 and sit on stage looking like a monitor.
