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 clunky interface was made worse on slow-speed days, whereas other programs were not affected at all.

Also critical was event management and integration with membership, since the organization's main publicity and fundraising activity is a large bike ride. Web site integration was also attractive.

It has errored out a number of times and there was no intuitive alert to let us know we were missing out on authorized donations.

A minor lack of functionality although this was a very mild displeasure.

Easy of use, ability to customize the member database easily and the integrated content management system for a professional website.

Every support request has been taken care off super-quickly. It has been a pleasure to work with the WA team since 2015.

So much had to be manually configured - it was a total time suck.

Every feature you might want is included. Easy to learn - good online support.

Truly grateful for their customer support - very responsive.

Price for managing HOA communities was a little better than some of my other options.

I'm struggling to find something negative to say.

The feature that I like the most is ease of use.

Great team to work with and Wild Apricot provided some great webinars to help us along the way.

Lots of features and descent integration. For 2+ years I loved this software.

It is not cheap but it is definitely worth the cost if you want a good, reliable and membership system with the integrated website.

A great choice and simple solution for an Online Membership Management System.

Members love the easy of managing their own profiles and the other features for member communications.

The software is very comprehensive, robust, and yet easy to use with many automated procedures.

The simplicity yet robust nature of this software is awesome. The user-friendly setups and ease-of-use make it an effective tool to help manage various facets of the organization.

The back office administration generally works really well and the ability to manage events is excellent.

There is little to no support online and it is extreamely difficult to learn to use.

They do a great job with marketing and making it feel user friendly.

Hoping they can keep this excellent service going for a very long time. Also, the support team and responsiveness has always been great.

Good-looking website; easy to edit and expand. Very helpful in running our club.

The WORST Experience - After 4 years of subscription services.

Many of my volunteers are elderly and they can navigate the system just as ease as a techny-teenager.

Overall, my experience with Wild Apricot was positive. The platform provided a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for managing membership-based organizations.

Good but will not renew. They are only interested in the money.

I appreciate the following. Ease in putting together a page on the website.

The website features and options are great, the membership, event  and donation features are wonderful.

I like the robustness of this database. Its user friendly but a very powerful tool.

Ease of use, functionality, and cost are all attractive to our small Associations.

Overall, an excellent value for the investment. Using it has helped our club to implement events more easily and keep the content current.

Wild Apricot definitely solves the membership management nightmare. Support staff are excellent: knowledgeable and courteous.
