 HarperRemote control
We use (and love!) Songview at our small church. One suggestion I have is the ability to remotely control slide changes from, preferably, an android tablet. I understand this may be a huge piece of work to add the feature, but I just thought I'd throw it out there. We're looking at ditching the sound booth in favor of a cheap wifi controlled mixer, so having wifi control over slide changes would really fit well with that plan. Thanks for a great piece of software!

To clarify my suggestion, here are the features I think it would be nice to have on the remote end: -Song list (on side bar) -lyrics panes (main view area) -blank screen toggle -bible verse navigator I can't see too much value in duplicating the editing features into a remote app.

Good idea but I think you can already do that if you use an application like TeamViewer10 (Google it). Its free for non-commercial use and allows control of a desktop PC from an android or iPad over wifi/internet. It works fine with Songview and duplicates the pc control screen on the tablet and you have complete control from there. The pc screen resolution changes to the tablet resolution but the output screen (projector) remains the same. I am intending to make Songview more touch-friendly for use with Windows 10 etc so that will help. Send me your email address if you want to discuss this further.
