It makes it much easy to get them the right stuff at the right time. Thanks guys! ### 5/5 — Love *2018-12-06, version 2.1* The app is very user friendly.

I like how we don’t have keep track of papers because the study is on our phones. ### 5/5 — Excellent tool for GROW subscribers *2018-11-08, version 2.1* As a youth pastor I love this app! It’s such a great tool for a student ministry that does small groups. Instead of having to think of and print questions, I can refer my volunteers to a certain week number in a particular series. Performance wise, this app works really well on iPhone 8 Plus. No bugs or anything sluggish. 10/10 would recommend. ### 5/5 — This app is incredible! *2018-11-08, version 2.1* There is so much you can do to organize your youth ministry! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2018-11-08, version 2.1* Thank you for creating something that helps others build the kingdom! ### 5/5 — Love the app *2018-11-08, version 2.1* We use this app in our youth group and love it. It’s easy to use and super helpful for all the leaders. ### 5/5 — So organized *2018-11-08, version 2.1* Keeps my youth group organized and helps Wednesday nights run much more efficiently. ### 5/5 — Relevant & Easy *2018-11-08, version 2.1* Great app! Love the convenience of having the questions easily accessible during small groups. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-11-07, version 2.1* It's a great app and easy to navigate though! ### 5/5 — AWESOME APP!! *2018-11-07, version 2.1* Great and easy to use! ### 5/5 — Parent *2018-11-07, version 2.1* As a parent, I love knowing that our youth are being taught biblical principles through this curriculum. I’m glad it’s available and easily accessible to all. ### 5/5 — Amazing app for youth ministry *2018-11-06, version 2.1* So helpful and make Youth ministry in ease. Thankful for this app and everything that comes with it! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2018-11-05, version 2.1* This app is very user friendly. Allows check in to run smoothly and quickly. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — I personally love this *2018-11-05, version 2.1* I personally love this check in system, it not only is the Factive but it helps the youth pastor to keep track of students volunteers and parents. It’s also affective better than the old fashion way of checking in kids every single week. Thank you so much grow team For developing a nice efficient way to keep track of everything. I definitely suggest anyone to get this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2018-12-30, version 2.1* Won’t load curriculum. Just keeps spinning until screen locks. Very frustrating since I’d like to print from my phone. ### 4/5 — Wonderful Administrative Tool *2018-11-13, version 2.1* These folks have been a huge help to our ministry. Using the checkin process has been easy, intuitive, and so helpful. There’s a huge amount of information and resources available to my adult leaders at their fingertips. My only request is that there be a login ability for me as the admin. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2018-11-05, version 2.1* Curriculum is necessary to stay on track, relevant and motivated in youth ministry. This is an excellent app in doing that. I would like to see the accessibility of the lessons in the app as well but otherwise it’s awesome! ### 4/5 — Great App! More to come. *2018-10-24, version 2.1* This is a great app to have if you’re involved in student ministry. If you use Grow Curriculum then it is even better as all of your small group leaders can have their conversations guides at their fingertips at all times. It’s also great for tracking attendance, what students are most consistent, what students have been M.I.A., and what students are new. The best part is that Kenny is committed to continually adapting and growing his stuff, so you can expect this app to only get better with more and more features. ### 4/5 — If you use Grow Numbers or Curriculum you need this app *2018-10-22, version 2.1* If you use either the Grow Curriculum or the Attendance tracker this app is a must have. It has the small group discussion guide for the curriculum, the attendance tracker and now it has groups! I had my entire volunteer team download this app as we use both the curriculum and tracker and now I don’t have to worry about printing off backup lessons. Plus with the groups my team can now focus on their individual small group without being overwhelmed by everyone’s information. It’s great and a must have but not quite perfect. There are a ton of passwords that you have to keep track of. There is a password for the curriculum, a password for each group you create and a password for each event you check in with. Plus there is not a simple way to import all of say the 6th graders into one small group. You have to do each student individually for each group you create. If I could give this a 4.5 I would because a 4 seems too low for something my team and I love and use on a regular basis. ### 4/5 — Great for Student Ministry *2018-10-22, version 2.1* If you’re looking for a Student Ministry app that helps in a variety of ways, look no further than this app. It wraps check-in, Small Groups, games, and more into one! ### 4/5 — Super convenient! *2018-10-22, version 2.1* There’s some great material on this app! It’s great to have access to curriculum at your fingertips. Love the icebreaker tab! ### 4/5 — Great for Check Ins and Groups *2018-10-18, version 2.1* This App is great for attendance tracking and check-in system. The group feature is very helpful for leaders to visually see a list of students in their small group. It would be great if we could add photos through the app, and copy the phone number into a text instead promoting automatically for call option. Can’t wait to keep using it! ### 4/5 — Great so far! *2018-10-18, version 2.1* I love the check-in option and free Ice Breakers. They also offer small group questions for their curriculum, which can be used free with the app. Makes ministry easier! ### 4/5 — Great App *2018-10-18, version 2.1* This is a great app and seems very user friendly! I like how all the curriculum content is already loaded for each series. The groups and check in features would be great to help leaders reach out to members who aren’t attending regularly. My only question would be if any of the content is customizable so that you could add upcoming events or announcements for your small group leaders ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easily the best thing to aid youth ministry in 2019 - very relevant! *2019-12-04, version 3.31* This app along with the grow app curriculum can be summarized in that it saved me so much prep time and busywork that I can now use my time where it really matters - spending time building relationships with my leaders and students. In the words of my previous youth pastor (now exec pastor), enamored, “Man! I wish I had this when I did youth ministry! Wow!” ### 5/5 — App Builder *2019-08-14, version 3.21* If you use nothing else from Grow (which you should), you need to use the app builder. I have a large high school ministry which means communicating to a lot of students, leaders, and parents. We have know about the app builder for <24 hours and I can’t wait to dive into it and launch our own app this fall. Thanks Kenny and Elle for all that you do to equip us to spend less time looking at a screen and more time speaking truth into the lives of students!! ### 5/5 — Awesome customization features *2019-08-14, version 3.21* I love that Grow now allows you to customize their curriculum or add your own through the app. That is a definite game-changer for our ministry! ### 5/5 — Free and Paid Content Amazing *2019-08-14, version 3.21* Both the paid and free content are outstanding. I actually use the free stuff at the moment and am loving it all. The customizing option is especially great ### 5/5 — Beautiful and Easy To Use *2019-08-14, version 3.21* I just downloaded the Grow app yesterday to give it a try. Our church uses a different database system for check-in so we aren’t able to use all the features but if you use any combination of Grow’s resources you NEED to download this app. We also use a combination of our own curriculum at certain times through the school year so I tested out custom code feature along with the Grow App Builder. It was incredible simply and made our content look amazing. Plus, it’s FREE to use 🤯🤯🤯 ### 5/5 — Grow Curriculum *2019-08-14, version 3.21* This is great. I’d like to transition this so amazingly helpful. ### 5/5 — Kenny & Elle are rock stars! *2019-08-13, version 3.21* This app and anything that comes from Grow is top notch and so worth the investment. Their feedback and follow up is so great! Give them a shot. You won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — Great ministry app! *2018-12-28, version 2.1* This is such a great and organized app to use in our youth group. Not only is the curriculum itself great, but the app is easy to use and each of its features are extremely useful and relevant. The icebreaker feature is funny and great to whip out when transitions/technical difficulties take longer than expected. It is handy to have the small group questions at your fingertips which saves time and paper. I highly recommend this app as it will be a great asset to any youth or kids ministry. ### 5/5 — Really usefu! *2018-12-12, version 2.1* This app looks to be a great addition to our youth ministry with great tools to better equip us practically (like having online registers and contact information) but also through the plethora of resources available and the well thought out curriculums. The app seems easy to use too!! ### 5/5 — Easy and Super Helpful! *2018-12-11, version 2.1* This app is super easy to use and has a simple layout to make it easy to navigate. This is a great aid to the grow curriculum as it has all the series and lessons plans easily accessible to refer to. My favorite part is the ice breaker questions! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
