This app provides users with the ability to store data about their church attendance, view their current data entry and data history, as well as edit their most recent data. It is a very comprehensive Shepherding tool for all Church Shepherds. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-31 Poimen has been rebuilt. This is the largest update the app has had. Almost every screen has been redesigned around one idea: keeping track of people, so nobody slips away unnoticed. A new look throughout • Warmer, clearer screens across every role, built to be read at a glance in a busy room. • Real empty, loading and error states, so a screen never leaves you guessing. Registers • The review step before you submit has been rebuilt on both the Bacenta and Sonta registers — see everyone present and everyone absent before it goes. • Anyone left unticked is recorded as not attended, so a half-finished register is never mistaken for a complete one. • When a submission is refused, the app now tells you why instead of showing a general error. Following people up • My Contacts is now built around who is waiting to hear from you, rather than how many people you have saved. • The day you met someone is recorded and used, so the follow-up clock is right. • Search now reaches your archive, not just your active list. Safeguarding • You can now file safeguarding forms and incident reports from your phone. • Records are searchable across the whole archive rather than the most recent few. • Every member has a file you can open in a tap. Overseers and Bishops • Summary pages now carry the run behind the week's figure, over six weeks, three months or a year. • New care boards show who has quietly stopped coming, council by council and constituency by constituency. • Councils, constituencies and streams open into the same detailed view. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-30 Contact Book Added the ability to import contacts into your contact book.
