  • Works Well Except the Media Player

    For the most part, the app works well on both iPad and iPhone but the media player on the iPad is slightly different. It’s awkward to use on the iPad. We are presented with a fairly large media player that doesn’t let the user control the media, easily. There are two different pages. The first let’s the user pick the song and then start it. To then do anything other than stop/pause the media, the user is now forced to go to the secondary page. Once at that page, the user can scroll back and forth through the media but now they aren’t allowed to stop/pause it. This is unlike the iPhone app which allows the user to have full control when they go to the secondary page. Why? Why doesn’t the iPad secondary page allow the user full control. It breaks the listening and learning flow to constantly have to go back and forth between these two pages. Surely this can be fixed since it’s already implemented in the iPhone version.
  • Terrible beginning stages of logging in options or starting a new account

    Well, I can definitely see why this app has less than a 4 star review! They could get a lot better.
    First, after not having the app for a couple of years since my last church we volunteered at, when I downloaded this at my new church it ONLY allowed me to “Sign In”. No option to Create New! I didn’t have the slightest idea which email or phone number I used when first creating the account 5-7 years ago!
    Second, finally got the email correct then it made me create new password, which was terrible because they asked for a really long and hard password! What is this, a banking or government system with too much personal info?! Haha
    Lastly, finally created my 50 character password (jk :)), and it literally said, try again in 5 minutes! Wow, issues.

    Developer Response

    Hi! I'm so sorry you had troubles when signing into Services! You'll only be able to sign in, not sign up for a new account or create a new profile. You'll have to create a new account on PlanningCenter.com or have your church create a profile for you inside their account. Once your profile has been added to Services, you'll be able to log in. If you have any trouble at all, please contact our Support Team at support@planningcenter.com. We'd be happy to help! ~ Clay
  • Please send notifications after plan is updated

    For the most part, PCO works really well. But for the love of everything decent and holy, PLEASE send a notification to all users on a plan when the plan is updated. Too often, keys get changed, arrangements are changed, and there is no way to know unless the person the changing notifies everyone themselves. It makes no sense why all users wouldn’t receive a little Notification saying what changed. I know it’s easy to say the person changing SHOULD send out an update. But people make mistakes and what’s the point of automating some simple tasks if we simply say that other simple tasks are human responsibilities.

    And while it’s easy to say you don’t do this because e-mails are easily over-looked, that’s kind of a cop-out since the notification could easily have a custom subject line that lets the user know an important change is made. If anything, you could prompt the admin or editor with a notification, “Would you like to notify your team?” after a change is made.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for sharing! At the moment, we aren't tracking each change made to a plan, which would potentially be in the millions. We also try very hard to limit the amount of automatic or manual emails people receive from Planning Center because the more emails people receive, the easier it is for them to overlook something important. So, for now, we've decided against creating a feature to automatically notify people of changes made to a plan they've been scheduled to. When you make a change you feel needs to be communicated to your team, click email these people on the plan to customize a message with more meaningful detail than an automatically generated email would allow. - Matt [UPDATE] Great suggestion! We'll keep that in mind as we continue making updates to the app.
