The Best iPhone Apps for Pastors (2019)

TRAVEL: HOPPER

If you travel for conferences, speaking engagements or family vacations, you need this app. Hopper monitors the fluctuation in flight prices and tells you when to buy at their lowest price.

I used Hopper a few years ago to book a family summer vacation to Mexico. It told me to wait to book until the price dropped. So I set it and forgot about it. One day, I got a notification that the price dropped. I booked immediately and saved $900!

If you plan your flights in advance, this app will save you money.

EXERCISE: NIKE+ RUN CLUB

Nike Run Club iPhone App

It’s important to stay healthy spiritually as well as physically. This is the most popular running app on iTunes for a reason. It uses GPS to track how far you run and monitors your pace. You can also see a map of the exact route you run.

I love running with this app to track my time, how far I ran, and my average pace. I play an audiobook, podcast or music on Spotify and enjoy a nice run.

VIDEO: FILMIC PRO

Filmic Pro iPhone App

The native camera app is alright. But if you want to take better control of your iPhone to shoot professional looking videos for your ministry, then you need the FiLMiC Pro app.

FiLMiC Pro gives you greater control of framerate, shutter speed, ISO, focusing, color gradients and more. Anyone who is serious about iPhone videography knows that this app is the way to go.

Just download this app, pick up this microphone for great audio, and your phone is now a professional, portable video studio. You’ll be amazed at the quality of videos you can make for your church with today’s powerful iPhone cameras.

Honorable mention: Video Teleprompter. This app is fantastic if you want to record yourself while reading a script, such as for an announcement video. It turns your phone into a teleprompter camera that is comparable to other solutions that cost hundreds of dollars.

VIDEO EDITING: LUMAFUSION

LumaFusion iPhone App

LumaFusion is the top-rated, most powerful video editor app for the iPhone. If you want to make casual videos, iMovie works just fine. But if you want to have professional tools comparable to using Final Cut Pro X, then you need to check out LumaFusion.

For the video editing power you get in your pocket, it’s worth far more than the price of the app.
