I did have a glitch in my program that stumped the media shout team and was in unable to be fixed at this time > > Are use it in two separate ministries elementary and junior high and off-campus events like camps and retreats ----- ### "Satisficed" — 5.0/5 > **VL Chip** | *24 June 2021* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: MS7 seems to run much more efficiently on our machines, additionally once the service is prepared by staff and saved to the media storage device, the presentation has all the backgrounds and items it needs to run, thus is the network crashes the presentation will still execute (unless we lose all power like we did last Sunday). > > **Cons**: MediaShout7 does not import MS Presentations as easily as MediaShout4.5 (the version we upgraded from). With 4.5 the import was straight forward with very limited need to reset fonts, sizes, etc. Not so when an MS Presentation is imported to MediaShout 7. Pastor has always liked using MS Presentation as he was very familiar, however he is now learning MediaShout7 Sermon Builder. Additionally, we experimented with different font colors against the song backgrounds. Upon making our choice and changing, I found there is not was to easily make that change globally to all pages of the song cue, except via template. ----- ### "Simplicity and Excellence" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *1 August 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have used this software at our church for 8 years. In all that time not one problem. We use volunteers to assist with media and MediaShout is so easy to get people started. It is simple yet an excellent presentation software > > **Cons**: Nothing at all\! Not a single complaint. Works every time. > > Using primarily volunteers we needed something simple to use and easy to train on. That was MediaShout for us. ----- ### "Good but some issues" — 4.0/5 > **Jon** | *8 October 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Huge range of features making it very flexible for every context > > **Cons**: Some key features were far easier to use on previous versions Some tabs are not well laid out and key functions are sometimes hard to find Some changes from previous versions are illogical and make the whole experience somewhat frustrating > > We have been long-standing MediaShout users, right back from version 3. We have loved it for its flexibility and for how easy it was to use. It was quick and simple to train people up on it. That was until we moved to version 6 when the programme became overly complex. Key features became hard to find and unnecessarily difficult to do. Version 7 is exactly the same. As a consequence we went back to version 5 until the old laptop packed up and we could no longer use our licence keys for it. We are very close to giving up on Mediashout and moving to an alternative because you've made it so hard to work. We would really appreciate some basic functionality to be restored to make the whole experience simpler and therefore more enjoyable, instead of tearing out our hair every time we use it. ----- ### "A Great Value and Excellent Features" — 4.0/5 > **Travis** | *6 March 2021* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favorite features of MediaShout was the amount of customization options the software allows for. I stopped needing to do so much editing work on graphics before importing them, and simply create the exact look I need for a service right within the application. > > **Cons**: The only drawback I've had is the learning curve that comes with all of the customization features. For someone who works in graphic design, the workflow is pretty standard; however, it would be helpful to have access to additional training resources that can assist volunteers who use MediaShout on a weekly basis for smaller congregations. > > MediaShout has allowed our house of worship to increase our production value and provide a more immersive, intentional, and effective ministry to those who attend our services. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/75951/mediashout?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/75951/mediashout) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
