Not supported. Not great.

This app is marginal when it works. Like church community builder, it could be much better. As you’ll notice when you try to contact the developers, it is a dead link, which further illustrates how this company is ok taking your money buy they don’t really support their products that well. I tried to report an app bug to customer service and they told me only the official contact at my church could report bugs. Ridiculous.

Could be better

It’s really great that I can see the events and resources I’ve ordered. It would be nice if I could also access the notes I’ve written on those resources.

Improving… slowly.

PushPay ChMS (formerly Church Community Builder) is very feature rich. The Lead app provides some very useful features but not all. For instance you can’t log attendance from an event screen. Or another: individual profile editing is very limited (ie customized fields seem to be omitted in the app, homebound ministry option is absent, and Sacraments can be viewed but not edited.) There is no access to child work approved dates. And more.
I would love to be able to update my database on the fly, on my phone. Yes I can access the site through a browser, BUT it’s all formatted for a desktop. More than 1/2 the time I’m standing in the fellowship hall, in a coffee shop, or in the parking lot when I need full access.

PushPay, very happy with what you’ve built. Bring the Lead App up to challenge of accessing all that you’ve given us. Thx!

Like others I'm logged out...

Of the app every time I close and reopen. Highly annoying and causes me to avoid the app.

Fix the app

Have to sign in every time now. Won’t hold a login like it used to. So hard to get in touch with the company. Doesn’t take phone calls.
