What is VerseCAST?

VerseCAST is a Bible presentation software running entirely on a Phone.

The mission of VerseCAST is to provide a simple and inexpensive Bible presentation software for small churches of under 100 attendees that are run mostly by volunteers. To achieve that VerseCAST simplifies media/church presentation workflows to the point that even a 10 year old can prepare and present church slides.

VerseCAST can do a lot more than Bible slides in 2500+ translations. You can present Lyrics, Media and Countdown slides on multiple main outputs, wireless confidence monitors and live streams.
