### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-03-10*

The app keeps crashing! Only way to get it to reload after the first crash is by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Even then, after I tried to open it, it crashed again.

### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK AT ALL DONT BUY

*2020-10-11*

This doesn’t work and is old. This should be removed from the App Store.

### 4/5 — Works great

*2016-05-01*

Works great.  Has locked on my iPad after inactivity on occasion.

### 1/5 — Core Software is Free

*2015-12-13*

I did buy this software because the one under development for the makers of OpenLP haven't released their for iOS devices yet. Where does the $3.99 go for this software? Did you know there is a web interface as well? I think the price should be lowered a little.

### 5/5 — Concur

*2014-11-02*

Just like previous review. Works great. Easy setup. Kind of intuitive.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2014-08-11*

Easy setup, little documentation but it is intuitive to use. I use it on iPhone 5, iPad 2 & 5th gen iPod touch all without issue.

### 2/5 — No clear understanding

*2014-05-15*

This app seems as if it would be an awesome tools, but I haven't been able to get it to work yet.... No online help, no youtube setup videos. I'm kind of in the dark with this one.
