In their own words
Holyrics
Holyrics is presentation software for churches that display lyrics and Bible verses at worship services and events. It can present song lyrics, scripture, text, images, audio, video, countdowns, alerts and stage-view content. The audio and video player supports VLC Media Player, while the mobile app can access program data and control presentations. Cloud synchronization shares program data and media files between computers but leaves local settings out. Telegram features include questions, polls, draws, chat synchronization and file transfer through a chatbot; direct chat file transfers are limited to 20MB, with Google Drive links suggested for larger files. The Advanced plan includes an online API for HTTP requests from other applications. Holyrics does not stream directly, though it is compatible with streaming programs. Desktop versions are available for Windows, Linux and Mac and require Java 8; Java 9 does not work. The software plan is free; Basic is $5 a month, Advanced is $10 a month, and Advanced + Worshipwide is $25 a month. The iOS app is $0.99, paid once.
