## Reviews

### "Best church presentation software" — 5.0/5

> **Issac** | *26 June 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Best open source/ free presentation software for churches, have tried several other tools in the past. But, after a certain extent we were asked to pay. Since we are very small community, it's hard for us to make this monthly or yearly expenses.
> 
> **Cons**: Simplified connectivity to cloud services or host the backend on our server. Current option to sync with Google drive and other cloud provides lack simplified connecting option. I totally understand, this is because of it's open source and requires lot of efforts to build this up.

### "The ProPresenter Killer\!" — 5.0/5

> **Shanda** | *19 March 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the affordability of this software and how it is for all that I need especially since I go to different schools and daycares doing performances.
> 
> **Cons**: The least that I like about it is that it is hard to navigate it on the preview screen to add the markers because it tries to play on the main screen at the same time so I have to switch between another video just so I can add the markers to the video I need to add the markers on.
> 
> It is overall great with it doing all that I need to do so that I can do my performances for children and families.
