Getting Started and Support

### What customer support options does OpenLP offer?

OpenLP offers email/help desk and chat support. Users describe support as community-driven and helpful when setup works, but some note that getting everything configured can take effort and that less technical users may struggle with the interface and need more guidance.

Answer based on 2 reviews

Ease of use

### Is OpenLP easy to use for church presentation teams?

OpenLP works well for basic worship presentation tasks, but ease of use depends on the operator’s comfort with technology. Small churches and tech-savvy volunteers often find service setup, Bible lookup, and slide editing straightforward, while less experienced teams may find the interface dated, formatting tricky, and some imports less intuitive.

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

Pros

It is very easy to set up a service (with images, praises, etc.) and very intuitive to use.Also, it is very easy to add new praises.

Cons

Support for using videos as motion backgrounds is not very good. The current Mac OS version is not as well optimized as the Windows version.

I looked for a product that could replace it and that did not require any subscription or payment.

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.

Reasons for choosing OpenLP

Cost-effective and very complete for all our church needs!

Uma boa experiência com o software, funciona muito bem no geral, sendo perfeito para quem não quer gastar.

Pros

Personalizável e com uma interface fácil de usar. Pre visualização e ótimo para quem precisa testar na hora. Gerenciamento de mídias e imagens ótimos.

Cons

Importar bíblias e arquivos externos em algumas situações e pouco intuitivo. Adicionar novas letras não e algo pratico, poderia ser mais amigável e simples.

The main presentation program we used only allowed use on one computer at a time. This enables us to present in other areas or with other computers without purchasing additional software.

Pros

It's easy to use and you can use a smart phone as a remote to control it.

Cons

It's very spartan when it comes to features.

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.

Pros

Super easy to learn and use for someone that was not computer literate.

Cons

EXTREMELY SLOW to open, save and close. To many times on trying to open my saves program it would tell me can't open due to corrupt file. So I would have to start iver and build a new skeleton program and then fill it I'm before service.

Reasons for choosing OpenLP

It ease of learning and use

It allows entrance into the worship software field, but eventually leads to one pursuing a paid alternative.

Pros

The free pricetag allows for usage outside of contexts with large media budgets and very powerful computers.

Cons

Its easy of use and reliability in large setups make it a liability for volunteers managing multiple screens and different looks.

Pros

This program allows me to load the songs easily. There is also the option of editing the songs with no problems. It is typically quick to load and I can add Bibles without problems.

Cons

There is no easy way to add moving backgrounds. The slides, even when formatted, tend to take on their own formatting and it does not always present itself the way I would like on the screen.
