### 3/5 — Landscape Mode Missing

*2024-09-24*

I really miss being able to rotate my phone and see the full calendar in month mode. This was a feature I used often during staff meetings to help look ahead and plan. I hope this will be returned in future updates.

**Developer response:** Hi There,

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We understand how important the month view is for your planning, and we’re happy to let you know that a fix is ready and will be included in an app update early next week.

We appreciate your patience, and we’re confident this will improve your experience.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2023-12-18*

It seems as though this App is unimportant to Planning Center. It is virtually useless for all the reasons stated in previous reviews even when it occasionally loads. 
Same problems going back years and years! They have improved nothing at all! Very frustrating when needed on the go.

**Developer response:** Hi emkat1310,

I'm so sorry the app isn't loading for you. We'd definitely like to find out what's going on and give this app some attention. If you're able, would you message us at support@planningcenter.com? We will continue the conversation there and get this resolved! - Clay

### 1/5 — Needs some serious work

*2023-06-03*

Buggy, locks up, won’t allow editing of calendars or events. Screens freeze and fields don’t respond to inputs. Cannot recommend until issues are addressed. iOS 16.5 iPhone 12 Pro

### 1/5 — Do not recommend

*2022-09-19*

Just got app today. Worked fine. Tried to open it later in the day and got a blank white page.

**Developer response:** Hi church cleaner 1, if this is still an issue for you, would you let us know? Our Support Team is ready and waiting to assist you. You can reach out to us through our in-app helpdesk or by sending an email to support@planningcenter.com. We're always here to help!

### 3/5 — Ok when it works

*2022-06-09*

Often opens to just a white screen. One thing I don’t like when it does work is how I can’t see previous events. Maybe I am missing it somewhere. I don’t have a computer and rely heavily on my phone and apps.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that! Could you write in to support@planningcenter.com with details so we can help you today? Thanks, Matt

### 1/5 — There’s no option to create an account

*2021-01-23*

How am I supposed to login with email and password if it’s the first time using the app. I wish you guy add an option to sign up within the app

**Developer response:** If you already have a login to Planning Center, that same username and password combination will work for any of our mobile apps. If that has not been set up yet by your administrator, they will need to do so, in order for you to set up a password.
Due to Apple's requirements, brand new subscriptions cannot be made in the app; you must already have an account at Planning Center and an active Calendar subscription to use this app.
Thank you,
Matt

### 2/5 — No longer useful now that it’s “Calendar”

*2020-07-20*

This app is only good for you if you want to quickly see an upcoming events calendar at a glance. The latest version doesn’t allow for looking back at past events or use of resources from past events/reservations. Forced to go to the website to do so, which makes this app almost useless for us as an organization trying to manage facilities and AV after an event has occurred. Emailed support and was told they no longer see the usefulness of the ability to look at past events to which I gave them a legitimate reason and was then told it wasn’t something they would be changing. So just be aware, it has its limits and isn’t for those who manage larger facilities on the go.

### 1/5 — Calendar?

*2020-03-02*

It’s now called the Calendar App, but when I try to open the calendar, it’s blank.

**Developer response:** The update may have caused some data to get a little confused. Can you try force quitting and relaunching? If that won't help, try a fresh installation again. For any questions, please write in to us at support@planning.center so we can connect with you today and get you up and running.
Thanks,
Matt

### 1/5 — Frequent Freezes

*2020-02-10*

PCO-R has come a long ways to improve their web based platform. What they have not done is add any real improvements to the app. 
The app is clunky and doesn’t allow any real calendar view, this is instead represented through a scrolling list view. 
It would be helpful to be able to view months at a time.

### 1/5 — Noooo

*2020-01-15*

You have eliminated from this app the most important part of managing as a church admin- I can no longer use the app to manage groups or registrations for events. This is aweful! Our facilities team now can manage what is needed - but we cannot manage the admin of the event!!! We need both a groups app and a registrations app ASAP!!!

**Developer response:** We haven't released any updates since June, but we do have one planned soon. Would you mind sending us some more details of what you are experiencing, so we can look into this with you today? Our email is support@planning.center
Thank you!
Matt
