Great product that did exactly what was required of it. I used it consistently for about 4 years.

Pros

Media shout did a great job of making the slides on our monitors efficient and without flaws. It was easy to implement and cut out computer screens showing during church.

Cons

It was laggy when using multiple different programs at the same time. We only used one program at a time due to this.

Alternatives considered

Reasons for choosing MediaShout

More affordable and we had the old version of mediashout already.

When we first started using media shout it seemed OK but as time went on it seemed to be issue after issue with poor customer service.

Pros

I could not find anything that I liked about media shout.

Cons

Constant failure to work with windows and would constantly shut down during use of the program

I enjoy using MediaShout for making slides. It is easy to collaborate with others and customize the slide's content. I would definitely recommend MediaShout!

Pros

I love the ease of inserting lyrics and slides as well as choosing from a variety of backgrounds!

Cons

I have also used Propresenter as a program to make slides. Propresenter has more features, but MediaShout was just as easy to use. Honestly, it is all in what you get used to using. There is nothing inherently bad in using MediaShout.

We have used MediaShout for over a decade.

Pros

1\. Price - there is a onetime price vs a monthly/yearly subscription. 2. Features - The version you purchase is yours. While there are free versions of presentation software that are good for a small startup congregation, Media Shout will grow with you and your needs 3. Ease of use - we have successfully trained people from 17 to 65 to use the software comfortably 4. Training - there are a number of simple and quick training videos on YouTube

Cons

Usable copy purchases are somewhat limiting or intimidating. You receive a limited number of activations at time of purchase. The full version trial program helps to ensure that the PC you are putting it on is really ready. I always recommend using an up-to-date PC with higher specs than required.

Reasons for choosing MediaShout

Easier to use than ProPresenter while supporting multiple screens without a monthly cost.

Until now it has been good. We wasted our money with MS 7.

Pros

Although previous MS programs have been fairly easy to use and navigate we are finding MS7 to have many issues in navigation and set up. The instructions are hard to follow and when support does help you they go through things so fast that it is hard to keep up.

Cons

MS 7 is hard to set up on a weekly basis.

Reasons for choosing MediaShout

We already had MS 6 and the purchase to MS 7 was minimal.

\[sensitive content hidden\] was extremely helpful when the program wasn't functioning the way it should. He spent alot of time with me till I was comfortable with the new layout.

Pros

Ease of adding slides, the size of the script.

Cons

I don't like that the timer appears on all slides and it's an extra step to get it off the slides you don't want it on.

Pros

Media Shout version 7 is way better than previous versions, and we started with version 4. That being said it's also completely different so there's a learning curve. With each new release it just keeps getting better and more stable.

Cons

You need a pretty good machine to run it. Sometimes it's a bit slow on loading songs and scripture slides. A gaming computer with a a really good video card helps.

7+ years of using various versions of MediaShout. Tried other software before, but never found them with ease of mind in functionality or database availability. Though some of the new changes in the years have caused some need to learn a new method in use, those functions have come very useful in later actions.

Pros

Built in databases for lyrics and bibles for creation and on-the-fly display. Cue libraries for saving varied versions of lyrics and liturgical (i.e. Advent) texts to pull for future needs.

Cons

Though mentioned the ease of mind in use, there can be some initial difficulties in the beginning of new versions. But we all must get out of comfort zone and learn new things.
