About OpenLP
OpenLP is an open source worship presentation software that is designed to support the playback of multiple video files through VLC integration. Users can create service presentations with text, images, songs, Bible verses, and more, and control playback through native apps for Android and iOS.
With OpenLP, users can create and display custom worship presentations for any type of service. Bible's can be imported in multiple formats, with the ability to search by phrase or scripture reference. VLC integration enables the playing of almost any audio and video file format. Images can be imported into OpenLP, organized into folders, and turned into slideshows through the drag-and-drop interface. Integrations with PowerPoint and LibreOffice Impress also allow users to import and display external presentations.
OpenLP's remote apps for iOS and Android, and responsive interface for mobile browsers, allow users to access services from any touch-screen device to change slides or current presentations, and search for Bible verses, songs, images, and more. The stage view also provides users with a built-in stage monitor accessible through any web-enabled device.

OpenLP is everything that is great about open-source software. A well-developed software with a community that supports it even more. It was essential for our church to find something that worked very well for us. Over time, we were able to use most of all features that changed the game. Dynamically editing the setlist while on stage; adding, removing, skipping - all while being completely wireless makes it the best software we've used till date.
Pros
Cross-platform. This piece of software will run on anything. OpenLP runs on any platform, whether you're running Windows, iOS or Linux. You don't even need a full-sized computer to run it. Makes it all the more easier to spread out our points of failure, making it completely reliable.
Cons
Multi-language support is something that is still lacking. It does support multiple languages, but having it appear in two languages at the same time - when that arrives, it'll be a game-changer for sure.

I am very satisfied, I have recommended and trained several people to use this program, it is an all in one.

OpenLp is the go-to program for every church that wants to start a better worship engagement with their congregation with a limited budget or no budget at all.
Pros
Cost-effective and many features that make your worship service more dynamic and engaging. Having a mobile app that you can control everything from the tip of your hand.
Cons
The Use Interface could be improved. Drag and Drop options should be improved. How to install and obtain the Bible versions could be a little bit easier.

OpenLP is a fantastic free presentation software for churches

A free presentation software that was stable and kept pace with many of its much more expensive competitors.
Pros
Our small church couldn't afford the high costs of the big competitors in the presentation software world, so we started looking into free options. It didn't take long to discover OpenLP, which has been a great solution for a number of years.
This free software offers most of the basic functionality you find in a paid presentation software, only they have done it for free! Import songs from CCLI SongSelect, keep a library, add in videos and Powerpoints, and you have everything you need.
One of our favorite features has been the way Stage Display is handled. Simply type in the given IP address in a web browser on a phone, tablet, or secondary computer, and voila! You have a stage display. This allowed us to take an old laptop and set it up without having to invest in an expensive additional video card for our primary computer.
The free remote features work well, allowing our pastor to advance his slides from his phone if he wanted additional control.
But free software has to be buggy, right? Not at all! We used OpenLP for years without having it crash during a service.
Our needs have outgrown what this software could do, but I still highly recommend it to anyone interested in a low-cost solution for their church.
Cons
At the time we stopped using the software, it still could not support video backgrounds behind songs. The SongSelect import was more cumbersome than with other software, but it still worked.

This software is an essential tool for our fellowship. If your church cannot (or does not want to spend money) afford ProPresenter or EasyWorship, this is the software for you!
Pros
What's to go wrong with this free software? It's completely FREE! We are able to do most features of Easyworship and Propresenter using this software. Essential tool of our church youth group.
Cons
There are a few missing feature. First of all, the multilingual bible support is not that effective. The formatting could also need some work as the slides are sometimes not aesthetically pleasing and need further editting. But what's to go wrong with FREE software?
