### 2/5 — Constant Issues

*2026-05-07, version 2.8*

It’s like a surprise each time you log on to find out which feature of the app isn’t working today. Their repeated answer, “ use the website”.  For a service that charges a substantial monthly fee, it’s just unacceptable. It’s great when it works, but….

### 2/5 — Not working

*2025-08-31, version 2.2*

Having trouble with the app. It won’t allow me to make a donation

### 2/5 — Constantly having to log in

*2025-06-27, version 2.1.1*

This app is absolutely terrible. I’m so tired of having to log in over and over again every time I need to check something. It’s supposed to have an auto sign on capability which might work once or twice then it forces you to log in afterwards. Even my bank app has a facial recognition function. Get with it people.

### 4/5 — Functional, but retains quirks

*2024-11-26, version 2.1.1*

With multiple devices/OS platforms over various app updates, I continue to encounter a questionable of functionality in features such as the "Today" icon in the Events section. Perhaps this is designed to update the calendar view to the current date/day; in reality, it performs no apparent function. Likewise, both Events and People tend to refresh or reset when scrolling. Additional developer follow-through seems worthwhile.

### 4/5 — Very clean, but could be a bit more intuitive

*2024-11-16, version 2.1.1*

The main qualm I have with this app is that when viewing the calendar (month view) in landscape mode, the categories and calendar overview take up so much realestate on the left. It crops the event names so much that I cannot read whats on the calendar without selecting events individually. I want to be able to read events at a glance. It would be much cleaner and more readable if (like in portrait mode) the categories and overview remain underneath.

And when selecting times, the scrolling is slow. It would be nice to have the scrolling or being able to type in the time. If these two changes were implemented, 5 stars.

Great work on the app so far! Looking forward to future updates.

### 2/5 — Potential

*2024-02-15, version 1.1.8*

Potentially helpful database for Church administrations. A lot of really good features. 

A deathblow for this app is how incredibly SLOW it is. Sluggishness causes it to feel as though it is not working and ineffective when in reality it’s just taking a very long time for the app to be responsive. I imagine this loses a lot of individuals needing to use the app for mobile purposes. Developers need to solve this ASAP as this is a massive stand out from other far less professional apps that move lightning fast in comparison.

### 2/5 — So Slow

*2024-02-14, version 1.1.8*

“Breeze” is a misnomer. It could be called “sludge” because the app (and website) are unbearably slow at times. If it wasn’t a pain to switch to a different platform, we would.

### 2/5 — Slow is Understatement

*2023-11-21, version 1.1.8*

I just came to read the reviews because I felt that the app was so slow, and I have just discover that it is not just my phone. It needs some improvement. I am surprise that it hasn’t been upgraded after all these years.

### 2/5 — Extremely Slow

*2023-11-01, version 1.1.8*

Its so hard to complete my follow ups because the app is incredibly slow. If I type a word, it takes about 20 seconds to finally finish typing. This only happens with the Breeze app.

### 2/5 — Remarkably SLOW

*2023-01-25, version 1.1.7*

The breeze program is a very good resource on a DESKTOP, but this app opens so slowly that many of our members have stopped using it. I timed it today and it was nearly 3 minutes on my iPhone 14. Brutal. Also there has not been an update to the app software in over a year. With all phone operating systems constantly evolving my concern for this Breeze app to continue to work is growing….

### 3/5 — Good but slow

*2022-10-29, version 1.1.7*

The database is nice with a number of flexible features. The debilitating aspect is the speed. I know the story of the tortoise and the hare, but in the digital world it is very helpful for an app to load quickly and efficiently. 
It would also be nice if there was a “swipe” feature where one could swipe from one member to another who share common designations (eg. birthdays, membership, street address).

### 2/5 — Excruciatingly Slow

*2022-09-19, version 1.1.7*

iOS interface reflects the same problem as the web interface: slow to the point of uselessness. Cellular connectivity is even worse, and a 4G connection may as well be offline. Inexcusable for a paid software service, and doubly so for a service that has the temerity to up its flat rate by 30%. Someone at Breeze is out of touch.

### 2/5 — It’s okay

*2022-01-11, version 1.1.4*

It is definitely easy to use, but this is the slowest app on my phone by far. No matter what wifi network I’m on, it crawls. I expect more when a church is paying for a service like this

### 2/5 — I would love it if it worked.

*2021-05-23, version 1.0.15*

It has great options for communication and attendance. It would be a great tool but it rarely works. This morning I tried to open it three times. I waited 10 minutes and it never loaded. I have the updated app. It still doesn’t work. Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — Concept Good, App Clunky

*2021-05-01, version 1.0.15*

The backbone of this is pretty good, however the app crashes, gets stuck, and is often non-responsive requiring you to kill the app and start over.

### 3/5 — Gets the job done

*2021-04-28, version 1.0.15*

All the features work on this app except for the “Giving” feature. The app logo doesn’t match the web logo so this was extremely hard to find. More time is obviously given to web development than app development. Overall the app gets the job done but I’m not overly satisfied. Love the ease of use on the web though.

### 2/5 — It “works” I guess?...

*2021-03-18, version 1.0.15*

So this version of breeze “works”, but it is much slower and lacks optimization compared to the browser version. This is disappointing as the whole point of an app is to streamline a software’s operation and productivity. Please heavily invest in this app as it would be much nicer to run on phones and tablets rather than a bunch of computers. (Yes, I know I can technically use a mobile browser but that is equally as slow).

### 3/5 — Breeze is great, app needs work

*2021-01-29, version 1.0.15*

We use breeze at our church and while I love the desktop UI, the app is slow, unresponsive at times, and overall just a burden to use. I can access what I need to usually, but the experience is clunky and outdated. Hope to see an update soon!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible login experience

*2025-09-15, version 2.5*

Most annoying app to log into on my phone.  Does not stay logged in. Does not do Face ID or passcode. Every time you open the app you have to look up your password by searching for it in Apple or type the whole thing in. Literally the worst login experience of all apps.

### 1/5 — It’s not working!

*2025-09-05, version 2.2*

Just keeps saying something went wrong!

### 1/5 — App no longer useful

*2025-08-21, version 2.1.1*

App no longer has search features, something you expect to have in a database. Continual warning about Java script license.

### 1/5 — Till I’m Blue in the Face

*2025-07-22, version 2.1.1*

WHY?  WHY?  WHY?  Must I re-enter my user credentials every bloody time I use the app?  From my iPHONE no less?!?

### 1/5 — Can’t get into my account

*2024-07-19, version 2.1.1*

I keep requesting an email an cannot get one or any help at all. This is completely ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Too slow to use

*2024-01-31*

I was so excited to see there was an iOS version of this, so I could access it from my phone. Not so, it takes minutes to load pages or menus.

### 1/5 — Monstrously Slow

*2023-10-18, version 1.1.8*

The Breeze desktop program is very useful and relatively fast.

HOWEVER: This app is s.o.o.o.o.o.o  s.s.s.s.l.l.l.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.w.w.w that it is absolutely useless.  I have a relatively new iPad with IOS 17 that performs very well with other apps.

### 1/5 — White screen

*2022-12-04, version 1.1.7*

It worked fine for about 2 months & now I can’t seem to get my breeze to work properly. When I click the app, my screen is white and I have no options. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling and nothing helps.

### 1/5 — Weak in all aspects

*2022-01-26, version 1.1.4*

Navigation allows user to get lost as consistency of UI elements is missing.

Authentication shows multi tenet implementation to user. Sure, first time app is used, find out what church they are logging into, but not every time.

No face or Touch ID support, so credentials need to be typed every time.

People searching and tags are disjoint. Searching is a weak feature which could be improved by adopting better backend technology (e.g., Elasticseach).

Save a person or group (i.e., tag) to Contacts isn’t supported.

Did not see Apple Pay support for giving.

Events should be integrated with iOS Calendar to take advantage of iOS Calendar features and integrations (e.g., Maps).

### 1/5 — Old and outdated

*2020-10-01, version 1.0.15*

First off if you want to say you’re the “world’s easiest web based church management software” and imply that everyone else pales in comparison, at least have enough foresight to update this app every now and again! It’s not even optimized for those of us using a later model of iPhone. The app doesn’t fill the screen, it’s extremely slow, and constantly disconnecting! We always have to use the browser, because our church services would fail if we used the app. Update this and make it faster please!

### 5/5 — User friendly and lots of new features

*2024-04-15, version 2.0.0*

I’ve used Breeze CHMS with two different jobs now and find it very user friendly. Even for non tech folks. 
I’ve been able to customize our donor pages and provide links and QR codes for each of our major programs. Congregants of all ages and tech abilities give great feedback on this feature. 
We appreciate the app as an easy way to access our data when we aren’t in the office.
And sometimes when I’m at my desk it’s easier to look something up fast in the app than on the desktop. 
Keep up the great work! We love the innovation even if some of the new features aren’t a good fit for our community.

### 5/5 — Love the product

*2022-03-05, version 1.1.7*

I’ve been using it of over 5 yrs now and the ease of use is definitely great. Pricing is also better than most. Looking forward to them fixing issue with slowness.

### 5/5 — it lives up to its name

*2021-03-23, version 1.0.15*

breeze has been the easiest date base we have had and we have used three different ones in our church that i’m aware of.  Email your ministry groups easy! text if you need too it’s extra after so many so we do not use this feature much.  easy i put for adding new members. love this we have not used the Financial as we have someone else using another program and they don’t want to change at this time but I’m open to it in the future.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2019-12-02, version 1.0.15*

Very easy to use

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2017-06-14, version 1.0.15*

We search for other companies before we decided to go with Breeze. We came to the conclusion that Breeze was the best considering what it does and the price. I definitely recommend Breeze.

### 5/5 — Solid App

*2017-04-30, version 1.0.15*

Please add a card reader function for payments and giving. 👍🏾

### 5/5 — Ministry & Finance

*2017-01-24, version 1.0.7*

We are so excited about this new app! We will be introducing it to all our Life Group Leaders at our training this month! Breeze has helped streamline a number of our systems at Hilltop Church. Jon VerLee has been great to work with and very helpful!

### 5/5 — BEST of the best

*2016-12-08, version 1.0.7*

Breeze chms continues to deliver top notch customer service, a quality management software, competitive updates and expansions to what Breeze does in comparison with other managements resources. Best of all all this superb simplicity for the average Joe! I highly recommend that every ministry underneath 1000 donors give this system a try. Once you do, you'll never go back.

Thank you, Breeze for making our admin life a breeze!

### 5/5 — A Breeze to use!

*2016-12-06*

Breeze is a great, user-friendly church management software that offers customization in a clean, straightforward interface. The app is just like the web access, only designed in app format. Fantastic! I went with Breeze originally even though they didn't have an app because what they offered worked so well. And now there's an app which make mobile access even easier. Nice work, Breeze team!!

### 5/5 — Looks and feels great!

*2016-12-06, version 1.0.7*

I've used numerous church management applications over the years. When you have an app introduced with a web-based application you don't want to have an entirely different navigation style. Breeze has taken their game to a new level with this. Along with their customer support (which is nothing short of stellar) and low cost, Breeze is THE best church management software on the market. With the introduction of this iPhone/iPad app it just keeps getting better.
