Wants attendance too early!
Please stop asking me to take attendance for our small group meeting 15 minutes early, when our attendees usually arrive 20 minutes late!
Needs search feature
Our church has used this app for several years and there are great chat and message board features for posting. PLEASE add the ability to search messages so that ppl don’t have to keep posting the same questions months later due to not being able to search for prior posts/messages with their comments based on keywords. July 2026, that functionality should be standard by now yet we’re still waiting. 🙏🙏 Please add to DEV list. 🙏

Recent update introduced bugs
It was working just fine and now it won’t load and messages won’t load either. If I try to close the messages it freezes, but if I go to close the app repeatedly, the third time I go through the sequence it usually works. Please fix
App unresponsive
When viewing group members, and ordering members by last name, all links on page are unresponsive, on iPad Air 5th gen, iPadOS 26.5
Simple
So easy to follow all of my church I attend.
No more updates for iOS 15. Apple just released iOS 15.8.8
No more updates for iOS 15. Apple JUST released iOS 15.8.8 and iPadOS 15.8.8 a few weeks ago. Guess I’ll be staying on the old version. 😬
Messages Don’t Get Marked As Read
This could be a great app, but honestly it has some really frustrating quirks. The main frustration is that when I read chats for groups that I am in, the chats still show that the messages are unread. In order to clear them I have clicked the messages icon at the top and then click “mark all as read”. That feels really clunky and inefficient because then I’m not sure if I have actually caught up on chat messages.

bug for church center app
the app is great, but i have a problem. whenever i open the app it will not load and just says ‘no internet found’ even though i am connected both to wifi and have good signal
Great developer response
I am on staff at a large church in Arizona. We use this app to communicate with all of our volunteers (we call them different makers) - and for so many other things.
Recently, I found a small bug in the app. I contacted support and got a reply in just a few hours. They reproduced the problem, and fixed it in their next update.
I love this app for all the features. I love it even more for the great support from the development team behind it.

Payment Failed
Luckily it was only $10, and not $300. But I tried paying with Pay, it loaded for almost a minute, I used my Apple Cash card, I get a notification of ten dollars made to my Church, yet Church Center and the Apple Pay UI said Payment Failed. But I look at my card balance and it took $10. Yet Church Center app still believes it to be unpaid. Also, side note, the UI could use a refresh, maybe with Liquid Glass in SwiftUI, consider a tool like Claude Code to try and help supercharge development.

No app should work this way
This app woks better when you don't log in. As a guest you are able to skip the broken log in which doesn't work randomly. One church I was able to log in and see, the other I couldn't Iwas sent back to log in over and over. This app works as if it was someone's first class project. It doesn't work and it has little functionality.

RSVP was visible
At the beginning of this month (May 2026) All RSVP’s was visible for the first time for non group leaders up until today. It’s no longer visible. Looks like the latest update removed that option? Please bring that back! It’s a very helpful feature for meal planning instead of having to ask the group lead how many people have RSVP’d

I love this app
I love this app a lot it works with my church and it is perfectly smooth not laggy at all. I do wish you could send private messages to leaders but other than that it’s great!
Great App - Suggested Improvement
Church Center is a great app, everything it offers is well designed. I’d like to see a polling option added with a choice for how the results are viewed. Either viewed by all or just leaders, with the option for the leader later sharing the results. Also, it would be nice if texting or direct messages could be sent in the app instead of how it currently works. There's probably a reason it is designed like that.m

Code faulty
Makes me have to resend code multiple times and code comes an hour later so that it is now expired. I can’t sign in..
Software updates brick app
App forces me to re download the app way too often
Question for Developers
This is a great app but is there any safety or protection measures one can take while using? Can you block people in the app? Thank you.
Looks sophisticated, demands too much private info
App looks sophisticated, too many data fields are required and cannot be deleted or must contact someone at the church office (gender, marital status, birthdate). Signed up as an adult, recent app update requires actual birthdate.
No church-specific privacy policy accessible from the app. App collects private information of adults (birthdate) alleging it is to protect children who use the app. I don’t see the value of collecting adult private information, need a different option.

Love CC but WHY do I have so many notifications 😭
I love Church Center, we use it for so much at our church. Great from both the participant and the leader sides of things!
But the app icon on my phones home screen says I have 8 notifications, and I cannot for the LIFE of me figure out what they are 😭 I scrolled all the way down to my earliest chats, I’ve RSVPed to upcoming events, I’ve clicked pretty much every button on the app, and the number has not gone down from 8. It’s such a non-issue in the grand scheme of things, but as someone who likes clearing out and dealing with notifications instead of letting them sit, I really wish it was more obvious within the app what the notifications are and what I need to do to address them, because nothing within the app is badged or highlighted or anything.
Thanks for making a great app that enables our church to do so much!!

Thanks for the kind words, dude! We’re so glad Church Center helps your church. Sorry about the stuck badge—that would bug us too. Please write in to support@planningcenter.com, so we can figure out what's causing it and reset your notifications. — Laurie Dossett Support Agent, Planning Center Help Center | Video Courses | What's New
