EasyWorship 8 Beta for Mac and PC
Granpaw Broon
Thanks Dan,
looking forward to beta testing version 8. The quality of the program graphics seem improved but I'm mainly going to be testing out Presentations and Themes as this is mostly where I spend most of my time creating and 7 needs so many improvements. I'm also interested in enhancements in the Alternate Output area and an easier way of adding audio.
But thanks for this release on the forum.
Hi,
I've been using EasyWorship in my old church, and will probably try to convince my new church to use Easy Worship. It is pretty much the norm in Denmark, so Songbooks for presenting are delivered in this format.
However, a couple of questions to the future roadmap. I've loaded the new beta, but really can't seem to find much new functionality.
Our pain points are primarily:
- Are there any plans in the near future for a cloud service - or supporting cloud storage in some form? Trying to make people collaborate using email always fails.
- Are there any plans for database api access? We really need a way to mass handle songs, as many conversion tools between formats are very lackluster.

Cloud is a high priority after we get EW8 released.
I don't know about the second question. I have not heard anything about it, but you can post it in the feature request in this forum

Hi Dan, I spent some testing time on version 8.0.9.0. I must admit from all I can see it is just an update to version 7 as it's virtually the same apart from the integration of the inspector. It even still leaves the helper running after exiting the program. I was expecting a lot of new features but from this beta it doesn't do much for us that EW7 does.
Unless there is another beta we can try?

You are correct on the PC version. The big feature for this release is Mac. Once we get the initial version released, we will begin adding the major features that people have been asking for. Since Mac version is the primary "feature" the most people have been asking for, that is what we're trying to get out. We also rewrote the PC version so it and the Mac would be cross platform compatible.
