The new Chat interface - terrible idea!
Combining all the various groups into a single chat interface is a bad move. You’ve just enabled everyone to put the message out to the wrong group. The group icons are nearly identical and those messages will end up going to the wrong group, with possible catastrophic consequences. Having each group separated in their own ‘bubble’ was perfect for this setting. Now imagine a woman sending a message asking for prayer about her abusive husband accidentally going into a group that he’s a member of. Bad move on your part!
Needs filter for conversations
The latest update moved all conversations to a consolidated location, which is ok, but sometimes I like to view conversations from just one of the groups that I’m in. It would be nice if there was an option to filter which conversations are presented
new update is MAJORLY CONFUSING
I’m just going to come on here and say, the new update is complete booty cheeks. i loved the old church center system because it was so easy to use and easy to learn. the new global chat things confusing. are all the messages for 1 group going to all the groups? the new system is so hard to understand and im 23 years old i can’t imagine how the older parishioners feel trying to navigate the new system. simplicity is key and the new update is nowhere simple at ALL..
Upgrade issue 7-10
The latest upgrade has been very difficult. You only see the comments/reaponses, you don’t see the full threads like we used to.
It has been almost a full day, and not all of the messages have been restored from the migration. Very frustrating.
Search option pleeeeease
My church is very active on church center, so old posts get buried quickly. Please, please, please add a search feature and I will gladly update my review to 5 stars!
Great, but...
The app is great and it makes taking attendance, tithing, and communication easy all in one place.
But...the giving tab has stopped working for me. Last week, it didn't even let me hit the button to confirm/give. This week, it let me hit the button but wouldn't go through with the payment. It just stopped in the loading screen. I checked to make sure my applepay/card were put in correctly but it still didn't work.
Donations Section
While I do like the app, the donations section needs improvement. For example, donations are hard set to “General”, thus not giving one an option to Tithe or provide an Offering. The latter two are important to the Church and for accounting purposes. The General portion should be utilized for the one-off donations where one can give for any reason.
HORRID
The worse most intrusive hard to use and find information about our church!!!! … I have repeatedly removed the app in frustration only to be pistol whipped because of my church’s commitment to the app. This last week TWICE tried to register for church events WHICH WERE LISTED on the church website and not been able to register using the horrid church app. Enrolled and not getting SCOLDING messages form the horrid church app. I HATE the app. … worst seemly church required app in the universe!!!!!!!!
Notifications?
I’m a part of several groups at our church that use the Group function of the app. In Groups there is a way to send messages to all group members, but I do not receive any notifications and have missed many important details as a result. I have confirmed that notifications are on in my iOS settings and in the church center app Groups settings as well. Notifications should be coming through but they’re not. Could be a bug? Please fix!
Recent update
Downloaded the recent update. Every payment method was deleted. I tried to reinstall them but they (Applepay) was not even an option. Will this remedied?
