SermonAudio Church App, also called ChurchOne, gives a church’s members access to that church’s sermons through Android, iOS, and web apps. Members can browse and sort the library by date, series, year, Scripture, speaker, or category, and download audio or video for offline use. The app also carries live audio and video webcasts. Members can opt in to alerts for live broadcasts and new sermons; broadcasters can send push notices from the Dashboard. ChurchOne is activated for SermonAudio broadcasters and requires no setup or maintenance work. The ChurchOne App plan is free for eligible broadcasters. A SermonAudio Broadcaster account costs $59.95 a month, plus a one-time signup fee of $150.00; it includes ChurchOne, while some optional broadcaster features may cost extra. SermonAudio’s broadcaster platform supports cross-publishing sermons to Facebook and YouTube. The company describes its audience as theologically conservative churches and ministries.
