Use for group planning

The app crashes about 25% but if it was more stable I’d be fine.

Super helpful

I love this app. It’s like having an online directory of my church always at my fingertips. Really easy to look up info on people in the church and you can call or text them easily without having to take the time to physically switch to another app.

Not useful

I would almost suggest scrapping this whole planning center system. It’s far too complicated, way too restrictive, an impossible to get everybody on board with.
Think about this, everyone has Facebook and knows how to use it. But only three out of 300 people are willing to use this. And it still does not accomplish the goals that we need accomplished.

Address auto opens in native map app

Please add a functionality to long hold on a persons address rather than defaulting to Apple Maps. It’s significantly less used than google maps or waze is. Currently I have to edit the record and select the address which is broken into multiple parts.

We are loving it

Great app for church management. We are enjoying rolling it out to our congregation as we continue to learn more about all the cool features this family of apps have to offer.

The support team are amazing and often respond the same day. There is also an active Slack community for further support and communication with other churches using PC.

Keeps Crashing-Update

Originally wrote a review describing the issues I was having. Support reached out and cleared up the problem—which was a setting issue on my end. I very much appreciate them taking the time to review and address my problem. Great work—thanks!

App crashes

The app crashes immediately when Turing on face identification. It also crashes within seconds after logging in with password only. I would like to utilize the app instead of the website, but I cannot use until these bugs are fixed.

How to sign up?

Works well but…

The font in the notes section is dark white in white. It’s very difficult to read what you’re writing.

Can you update to at least version 2.2? That shouldn't be happening for you now.

Helpful tool…one suggestion

I appreciate this powerful tool. It gives me quick access to lots of important information about our church family.

As a pastor, I frequently add prayer requests in a private note attached to that individual on the app. However, it would be so helpful if those notes were editable! If I have an update, I am not able to add that to the note. I have to delete and write a new one.

Hi there! As of version 2.2, you can update the notes you have written, right from within the app. If you have any other questions, please write in to support@planningcenter.com with details so we can help you today. Thank you, Matt

Great when it works

The people app is great when it works. Almost every time I go to update someone’s information (I have admin account access) it gives me an error and doesn’t work. I then have to go to a computer later to update the information that is given to me.

Good start but need lots of work.

For example. Wish you could actually use the forms.. and also have the ability to edit form responses. It would eliminate unneeded admin work on the backend to correct easy or overlooked errors when the form was filled out. The app is a good start but so much more can be done to make this competitive with other form services.

Crashes After Search Result Selected

Happy to update this back to 5 stars. Especially after such a quick resolution to the problem reported!!

Had I rated this a week or so ago, it would’ve been a firm 5 star. But with a recent update, each time I select a record, it immediately crashes and asks me to sign in again. I’ve turned my phone off, thinking that may have been the culprit, but it is not. I do hope this gets corrected soon. As the ministry staff assistant, I’m a relatively heavy user of the app when not in the office. Thanks!

Sorry for the troubles! We've released a new update with a fix for this crash. Version 1.9.3 includes this crash fix. For any other questions, please write to us at support@planningcenter.com Thanks, Matt

Love this tool but...

This is a great tool, but my app now crashes every time I do a search. I am already missing the quick and easy access to information on my phone! I’m not always with my computer.

Can’t search for anyone since updating to iOS 14

Title. When I go to search, it always says no result found or brings up all contacts that begin with periods. Please fix!!

Great App...one addition that would take it to the next level!

Wondering if you guys are able to add some accessibility options to creat a new contact in the users address book with 1-click, populating phone, e-mail, and address inputs. That would bring things to a whole new level!
