Church Center App

I preferred the most recent version over the current. The new chat sort is very glitchy and often leaves hindering notification balloons even after I’ve read the thread.

Hey this app gets the job done for most. I dog want to discredit that. But I believe in pursuing excellence and I don’t feel this company does that. I think this is half baked.

The most recent update has made this app practically unusable. - “chats” feature is not good, I want to quickly find the thread, not see a stream of way too much information - app feels significantly slower, messages take forever to load (if they even do before I get tired of waiting and close the app) Really don’t understand why/how they made a nice app that worked well for communication unusable (at least for me).

Please go back to the way it was. The app is confusing now, nothing is where it was so I can’t find what I need when I need it. As someone who works on staff at a church and uses this (and the other apps) regularly it is so frustrating to struggle to communicate with my volunteer teams. Like other reviews said, the chats are all jumbled now and I have scroll to find what I need. Please fix this asap!!

Notifications for messages still do not clear. You have to manually press “mark all messages as read” to get the notification badge to clear.

Hi! This app has been WONDERFUL for centralizing our church’s groups and prayer requests. One thing I’m really missing is the old messaging system. It was much more user-friendly, and it looked so much better. The new “chat” feature squishes all the text to the side, and it’s not aesthetically pleasing. It’s also much more difficult to navigate. We brought it up at our church staff meeting yesterday, and we all agree: we’d be so happy if you change the messaging back to the old design! Thanks for considering, and thank you for your ministry. 🙏🏻

Hate the new update! Why mess with something that didn’t need fixing?

Sometimes improvements are like taking a step backwards. Lumping all the chats in one heap is a mess. Trying to fine one chat from one group amongst the many groups is like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack. I do not understand why the change had to come about. Hopefully, you can undo this. Otherwise it is a fine app. Thank you.

This newer version of messages/chats and notifications must not be working correctly yet… My app continues to show that I have “notifications “ on my app icon, but I cannot find the “unread” messages. I go in and out of the app multiple times checking my messages and my scheduling, etc. but nothing changes… Then, the new message process is cumbersome to say the least. I used to be able to start a message as a group leader and include the message after my subject line. Now I have to fill in a subject line, press submit/create, and then add the message. That just seems backwards. I have zero apps on my phone that do that, except of course, Planning Center/Church Center…

Do not like the new update. Doesn’t work as smoothly, and notifications do not clear without manually clearing them.
