Now I can’t get Bible verses in search, in particular, to show up in the app and sometimes I can’t even get anything to show up. I keep saying the same error message, “an error has occurred “And yes I do have the remote plug-in activated. I also I’m not trying this with Web downloaded Bibles. I’m going to try the web version on my phone browser. It seems to work at home I haven’t tested it at church. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-10-20* Didn't connect to my computer at all. Just kept saying "error, try again" **Developer response:** Hi Daltonbaker07. Please, verify the firewall settings and the IP of your PC. The IP should have the numbers and dots, for example '192.168.1.100'. Try again and give us a feedback. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on my phone *2016-07-03* I just got OpenLP on my computer and I really need to use the app to control the slide shows but the app won't connect with the program on my computer. Even when I put the IP address in, it still won't work. **Developer response:** Hi Khernandez1234. Please, verify the firewall settings and the IP of your PC. The IP should have the numbers and dots, for example '192.168.1.100'. Try again and give us a feedback. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Title note add *2020-10-11* Because the only thing you see is the file name, it would beneficial to have a note you can add to the image name or rename the image holder to know what actually is up next. ### 3/5 — Open LP Remote Option *2019-06-13* I can’t seem to get the Remote option to show up on my Mac book pro! Please help! **Developer response:** Hi! Please, check if the remote plugin is activated on OpenLP in your Mac.

My only suggestions are to have icons next to each service icon (so it’s obvious what type of item it is) and an updated iPhone version which fits the larger screen. ### 5/5 — Works Great *2020-03-01, version 1.0* Amazing App. Makes it so easy to control OpenLP from my phone ### 5/5 — Neat design *2019-10-23, version 1.0* Used this app for the first time when there was nobody able to work the church PC. Put it in the hands of one of our singers and he could briyup the lyrics with no prior training. To make such an intuitive app is a credit to the developer. ### 5/5 — Excellent App - iPad Version? *2019-02-24, version 1.0* Love this app, easy to use. Will there be an iPad sized release in the near future? ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2017-06-02* I know some of you guys haven't been able to connect to the computer but it is easy. Make your in the IP area you type the exact IP number from the computer in my case is an Apple Desktop, go to your background window and select network icon there is the IP number. Good luck!!! Awesome app. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works perfect *2017-01-09* The other reviewers thus far said they couldn't get it to connect. Well, they didn't say whether they checked their network connections and - most importantly - the OpenLP host's firewalls. So, I'd take it with a grain of salt. I think the app works very well. Had it setup in literally two minutes. Rock solid behavior, very clean and aesthetically appealing. Two suggestions: if there is a network API to work with projectors, can that be added in? Also, it would be nice to be able to move from one song to another without going back to the service order. Something like a "next song" button? Forward and back arrows? Something like that. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
