App not free?

DavidHellsten

We've just got a new church computer using OpenLP, so I thought I would download the free phone app mentioned on the website. However, Google Play tells me it costs £1.90...
So: Is it no longer free (in which case the website needs to be updated!), or is Google Play ripping me off - or is it the wrong app?

OpenLP no longer supports the mobile app—so the app you're looking at is not supported/built by the OpenLP team.

You don't need an app—instead use the phone's web browser to connect to the remote.

Hello, that app is not the OpenLP app. As @funkydan2 noted above, we don't have a native app anymore, and recommend using the web remote which is part of OpenLP itself.

Also, we as the OpenLP team always release everything free, even the source code. So if you have to pay for it, it's not from us.

Just to follow up with this. I reached out to the developer, and he graciously agreed to rename the app and change the logo, so that it would not be confusing to people.

I took a look at the app, and I do think it's quite handy for people who don't want to figure out how to connect to OpenLP from the remote on a phone or tablet every time they come to church.
