Pros and cons

With FreeShow, i love the ability to display images and videos on big screens it is easy and simple to use and also it is very easy and fast to install and set up.
Great, amazing and wonderful presentations tool with easy to use interface. Great and nice display on projected screens.
It helps displaying the presentation, videos, images and other texts messages in most effective and creative way possible to have its excellent outcome on user beneficiaries.
The only drawback is it lags and text editing issues at times.
Lack of readily available material teaching on how to use this software online.
Sometimes set a text spontaneus during the service could be very difficult to do.

It is high rated but simplicity to usability is well noted.

Reviewed 3 months ago

For presentation display I find it a good way to present to the world your projects or get to view what other people are presenting. It is an open source for all.

Pros

Very easy to use and provides different templates for test editing or forms of presentation.Simple user interface and integration to third party.

Cons

It limits some presentations then it can't handle more than one presentation. Nothing much to stop you from achieving your objective though.

your reliable tool in presentation

Reviewed a month ago

the fact that freeshow has a free version, a user who wants to improve their sill on the tool can do it with no problem until they perfect and advance to more complex plans, this gives an overview of customer experience.

Pros

freeshow is an asset for presentation, it comes in hand with great features such as a user-friendly interface, easy importation and exportation of files on it and integration capabilities with most tools. most unique feature is the fact that content can be multiplied in different screens, this is evident on conferences where different screens display similar content.

Cons

freeshow comes with a free plan, this plan is amazing although there are some complex feature for intricate users that lack, sometimes the tool lags while displaying high quality videos and also lowers the quality of the visuals.

Thank you! :)

Currently it is the best option

Reviewed 2 months ago

I am fascinated. It has replaced the programs I previously used at my church (Open LP & Pro Presenter), I definitely recommend it, it is an excellent program.

Pros

I decided to use the program because of the attractiveness of putting backgrounds with movement, but when I discovered how easy it is to edit and, above all, how simple it is to use the integrated Bible, I was fascinated.

Cons

Although it gives the option to create templates with CSS, I would also like to have more options within the interface to edit.
