LyricsPro - A Church Presentation Software for Android Devices
A band shouldn't have to bring along a computer just to display lyrics—that's the thinking behind LyricsPro, probably the first Android app to manage song projection entirely from a tablet.
I kinda agree—at least for worship in small groups.
What do you need to use LyricsPro?An Android tablet running version 4.2 or above with video-out functions like MHL—Chromecast's mirror function would also suffice.
What does it do?Create a program with multimedia content—song slides, images and videos (mpg, avi, mkv, m4v, and mov) and project to a secondary monitor.
3rd party apps are also available to import PowerPoint files also, though I would have preferred this feature to be available natively.
You can create song lyric files by typing them out or import from azlyrics also to save time.
What kind of presentation features does it have?Most of the basic features are covered: Font options, fading slide transitions and ability to use any type of backgrounds—plain color, image or motion video.
Is it good enough to replace your existing presentation systems?Frankly no—not at this point. However, this is a pioneering project that I believe should be encouraged. I see a lot of potential if the developers continue to keep it at.
The main challenge with these kind of apps is content creation—to an extent, lyrics import from azlyrics works, but needs more such options and maybe a companion desktop tool too.
Are you aware of similar church projection tools for mobile devices?
