It has some features that some of the competition does not have. > > **Cons**: Main reason we use something else is we run Macs across the board. Also some of the features available with SongShow seem a little impractical and pointless. ----- ### "SSP is still popular for a reason" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *02 June 2022* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've used SSP for years and years at our church. Worship lyrics, sermon notes, scriptures, videos, etc all go through SongShow. There's a ton of templates and extremely user friendly. > > **Cons**: Although our church staff all love it, it's starting to show it's age. Some aspect ratios and video file types don't work well with SSP. ----- ### "Terrible product for churches" — 1.0/5 > **Matt** | *31 October 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The song database organization was designed decently, in that you could have multiple collections of songs within a database, and could easily create copies, duplicates, etc when needed. You could also customize aspects of a song within a particular service without impacting other places it might be used. Songs were also built using Verse/Chorus/Bridge/etc parts vs. just throwing words on a slide, which made it easy to pick any part of the song you wanted for quick display. > > **Cons**: There are many reasons not to choose SongShow Plus. First, it is buggy. We've had it crash numerous times in the middle of or just before a service. Once a service was running, we tried not to make any changes to the database, as that could cause the entire application to hang without warning. Sometimes it would recover, other times it wouldn't, thus leaving you stuck. Overall, things operated very slowly. Second, the provides an extremely poor UX. SSP has evolved over time to incorporate various features, but the UI has been the same for 20 years. It's hard to find what you're looking for, UI elements look old and pixelated, and screen real-estate is used poorly. Finally, r-technics (the company that makes SSP) seems to be making minimal updates to the software at this point, while still charging hundreds of dollars per year to keep it up to date. You don't have to pay the support fee if you want to stay on the current version, but then you don't even get bug fixes. There are much cheaper options out there that provide better value. > > When we started using SongShow Plus around 20 years ago, it was a decent system--about as good as others out there, though probably not quite as good as ProPresenter. However, the company seems to have no vision as to what church presentation software should be, so they just keep making small, almost worthless updates a few times a year. There have been no major releases in recent history. The entire product needs an overhaul, but it seems unlikely that such a thing will happen any time soon. The past ten years or so have been frustrating in terms of using this for our services, and thankfully we finally replaced it with Faithlife Proclaim, which has been a MUCH more pleasant experience. ----- ### "Works Well Running on Windows" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 December 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a great way to stay organized and quickly change slides to the correct verse when you make a mistake. Powerpoint integration is also nice. Being able to backup is important. I also like being able to setup a sequence of the different verses, bridges, choruses, etc. so you can practice with the band and figure out the correct order. There are plenty of background options though black with white letters is always the most readable. Sometimes I would add snowflakes. > > **Cons**: I wish it ran native on a Mac. Our church has to run VMWare Fusion in order to use this software. Also exporting to additional formats would be nice for if you ever switch applications (have not tried the latest version of this software, so exporting may be improved). > > I recommend for Windows users if your budget allows. If on a Mac, try the trials of native Mac software. ----- ### "Kitchen sink presentation softwarer" — 5.0/5 > **Bill** | *12 November 2018* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: If I need it in our church service, Songshow can do it. It may not always be obvious or handy, but the capability is there. Song lyrics, picture and video backgrounds, Bible quotations, video projection, Powerpoint, multi-screen handling, we use it all. We create programs for upcoming services and use them at practice, making mods as we go. Updating lyrics, reordering songs and announcements, importing slideshows and videos are all fairly straightforward. The software is reliable, the only problems we have had during a service were network or media related, not SSP itself. > > **Cons**: The display is almost infinitely customizable, but finding the setting you want can be difficult. We have had problems with stuttering and freeze-ups when projecting video, but we're not sure if it's the program or the network. Normally the database is on a file server connected by Gigabit ethernet. Video projection improved when we moved the database to a local drive, but then we can't share it among presentation workstations. > > Have used it since the mid-2000s every week. It gets the job done. We rely on it to produce a service where technical glitches do not distract from worship. Apart from the video issues which we are still troubleshooting, it's a workhorse. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/140322/songshow-plus?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/140322/songshow-plus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
