Has improved tremendously since first started using MS 4. Integration and flexibility have improved over time.

Ability to quickly recall lyrics and scriptures to make a great presentation.

Ease of use ability to use multi media sources. Price is reasonable and Bible options are great.

Comfort level, ease of use, ability to do many things with it. Their support team is FANTASTIC.

We had been using MS PowerPoint before this, so MediaShout was a fantastic upgrade. The ability to integrate moving backgrounds was a wonderful addition and the controls were much easier.

My older computer is almost useless with MediaShout 7.

Extremely difficult to use. It will not read older MediaShout files, you cannot import older MediaShout files without losing all changes.

A Great Presentation App That Is Friendly to the Volunteer and Tech Alike.

The feature I like most is the ability to edit a cue while displaying a cue. I like that Media Shout gives you all the Bible versions included in the cost of the software.

I like the fact that I can insert what I need and move on to the next project without a lot of hands-on work involved. I create the script, add the parts, save it and I am ready for Sunday morning.

The responsiveness of the customer service department was beyond poor. The first budget item I requested was funds for an alternative product.

Purchased a brand new computer, Software, Awesome training for our users and superb tech support.

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.

Love the integration with CCLI. Makes adding songs a breeze.

I liked how easy it was to use and train volunteers. Also the ability to edit during service was helpful.

There are many great options to add backgrounds, still shots, video graphics, and much more. We also use the confidence monitor for our choir and praise team members as well.

I enjoy it’s ability to build and edit on the fly. Also enjoy its ability to combine audio with a slide.

This software helps to enhance the spread of important information, it helps to enhance worship services, and is very cost effective.

We’ve had a few hiccups but it wasn’t anything that the support team couldn’t solve.

New users to this software can be easily confused and lost becuase the interface is for advanced users.

They are passionate about making their software easy for us as users, to seamlessly support the process of worship and sharing the gospel.

We have purchased several upgrades - one because they forced us to. Fool me once, shame on you.

This kind of platform for multimedia is great. The database function and song database are fantastic.

I have always gone to worship services and seen songs on screens, or announcements, now I am the one that creates them. I love that it's pretty user friendly once you learn how to use the program.

This has been a huge help in boosting confidence for our music ministry.

Integrations with multiple Bible translations, integrations with SongSelect and Planning Center Online, ability to streamline scripts for new volunteers.

Good experience overall. We are close to outgrowing it, but for small churches or organizations, it's easy to use and set up.

Updates are very much frequent and manual which is irritating. The shift from one build to another is tough.

I love the user friendly software. It was easy to install and the setup is easy to navigate.

Their customer service is fairly responsive (although the fact of the time difference between us and the eastern time zone limits it's availability substantially).

I haven't used it for very long but they sure changed a lot around. Like I said, a big learning curve.

This has been a great tool to implement in our church setting. We have gotten great response from it, and it has been easy to train our new recruits for Sunday services.

A great investment for our audio & visual ministry - webinars, download packs, training videos, great tech support, great features, easy script building, approx 69 versions of the Bible.

MediaShout is an amazing tool for presentations. I especially appreciate the song & scripture libraries that are independent of any backgrounds.

The UI is a little difficult, both on the web and the app.

Found it fairly easy to configure and there are ample  examples and demo's within the documentation when you have a question. From a price performance perspective Pastorlines is very competative.

We mainly went with PL for the price and syncing with CCB. I like supporting the smaller orgs and because of it we've had good customer service.

It's been great- the customer service has always been quick to respond and very helpful.

In addition, the automation features that allow on-boarding of new community members are fantastic and well thought out.

I found that the software can be a bit intimidating at first to use and get set up with.

Sending out a targeted text gets a much better response from those you are trying to reach and PastorsLine handles this simply and beautifully. Also, the usefulness of their app has been great.

I wouldn't say there's anything we dislike about the software.

The user interface is cluttered and confusing.

Very pleased with the product and the roadmap of features to come.

Pastorsline is packed with features and customization options, it integrates perfectly with the software solutions we already use, and their customer support is AMAZING.

We had to put our deployment on hold until PCO exited beta. The mobile app is hard to use and very limited in functionality.

Excellent responsiveness and support from customer service. It's made a positive different in our ability to engage with our congregation.

The ease of use, via web, app or email is fantastic. Group texting and scheduling is by far my favorite feature.

Overall, it's been a very positive experience. I love the simplicity of use to benefit ratio.

I have a hard time with the search bar and trying to find groups at times. My groups from CCB don't update well at times, so i miss people i need to be texting.

We needed something simple and effective that could be deployed at a moment's notice, and this was a great, economical solution that fit our needs perfectly.

Still learning how to use it all. Right now my biggest issues is the voice mails I'm receiving that are spam.

Fantastic feature set with lots of options. Powerful integration with third party chms which is a must for us.

We integrate with PCO and it works wonderfully. We like that we had the option to sign up for a yearly plan so our credits don’t expire every month.

PastorsLine is a great resource for churches. It is a great service with good features.

The integration between CCB is huge advantage for our church. I really like the live changes that happens between CCB and PastorsLine.

The online and app use is a bit of a mess at times.

We have been able to utilize the system with a relatively small amount of training, it does everything we need, and it come at a great price.

PastorsLine is relentlessly committed to improvement. I am constantly receiving correspondence indicating that they are resolving issues, improving systems, etc.

I have had a great experience and they have been very responsive to input and resolution to issues.

It has been amazing how helpful it has been to stay connected and in communication through this platform.

They are so helpful and friendly. They've been a great fit for us and have provided an affordable option for keywords.

The customer service is great. I am thankful for this program and the people involved.

Great option for churches just getting into texting and/or following through on guest's requests. Easy to use and set up and very good pricing options.

Integration with MailChimp. No Emojis when using a web browser.
