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 ----- ### "MediaShout software is perfect for our church" — 5.0/5 > **Ken** | *28 August 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: MediaShout is fully featured yet easy to use. It's easy to train on. Their support is second to none, and they really care about how the software works for you in your situation. They are passionate about making their software easy for us as users, to seamlessly support the process of worship and sharing the gospel. > > **Cons**: I have no negatives about using and owning MediaShout. > > MediaShout feels like a really close knit community, where users support each other well, but also MediaShout 'the company', support their users well. I love the software, and what we can achieve with it, in serving our church locally. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- 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
