Notifications Clearance

There is an issue with the app’s ability to clear the number of notifications when looking at the app on my phone’s homepage.

On the app icon there appears a number telling me how many new messages there are waiting for me. Then I launch the app, check all new messages, and close the app. But the number telling me the number of new messages is still there. I have to launch the app again, go into the messages area, close the app, then the number indicating the number of new messages disappears.

I am using an iPhone 16 with the latest version of iOS.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to share this! The extra step you're describing to clear the badge isn't expected behavior, and we want to make sure we look into it properly. Please reach out to support@planningcenter.com so our team can look into what's happening more. We'd love to get this sorted for you!

iOS 16

I enjoyed your app until two weeks ago when an update now requires iOS 16. My iPhone only goes to 15.8. Is their a way I can continue to use your app?

No live sermons

Tapping live sermons does not allow you to watch the sermons. You can only watch archived ones. The older app was way more user friendly….. and worked.
So I just left on the computer and go directly to the church’s web page and bypass the app.

Badges

The badges never disappear even after you read messages. I never know when I have new messages because the badges are always there from older messages that I have already read. They’re definitely needs to be an update to the app to fix this issue.

not intuitive

The app gets the job done, but its lack of intuitive use makes for an unnecessarily difficult learning curve.
