    443: Sidekick Pro - The Best Kept Secret is Out

    After years of development and months of behind-the-scenes testing, Sidekick Pro is finally here!!! Josh Boldman sits down with Nick Clason (one of the few youth pastors who got the opportunity to use a pre-release version of Sidekick Pro in front of real, live teenagers) to unpack everything the new app can do. From returning legacy favorites like Survey Says, Boxes, and Photo Fury, to a fully reimagined Leaderboard that finally handles more than 10 teams, to brand new features like Live Responses, Live Ranking, Live Pick Me, Live Trivia, Countdown Loops, Songs, Stage Display, and AI-powered list generation for Wheels, Pick Me, Boxes, Trivia, and Survey Says… Sidekick Pro is packed. Nick shares how Live Responses has increased pastoral conversations “a hundredfold” in his ministry, why Countdown Loops has replaced traditional countdown timers for him, and how Sidekick Pro can genuinely become your church’s full presentation software. Head to sidekick.tv or search Sidekick Pro in the Mac App Store to check it out.
