### 5/5 — Amazing service

*2026-08-19, version 2026.6.0*

This has been an amazing communication tool.  Making connecting with our community user friendly and very effective!

### 1/5 — Ipad app freezes

*2026-08-10, version 2026.6.0*

Each time I try to post to my bible study group, the app freezes and I have to swipe away and never let’s me post- iphone works fine- it is on my ipad that I have this issue

### 3/5 — A Bit Clunky

*2026-07-31, version 2026.6.0*

I like the idea, and it mostly gets the job done, but I don’t find it to be very user friendly. Some of the functions are redundant, or circular, and lately it’s been freezing on me so that I have to exit the app and open it again. Frustrating when I’m ready to hit “send” on a communication and have to start over.

### 4/5 — Good idea but doesn't always work properly

*2026-07-28, version 2026.6.0*

Several times when I've tried to post a message, it freezes up when I go to select the committee that I'm wanting 
to send the message to. I have to close the app and start over and may have to do it several times before I have success or I have to try to find a different way to send a group message.

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-05-03, version 2026.4.0*

- No survey functionality 
- Limited communication options
- No parity between mobile app and web instance

### 3/5 — Hard to Navigate

*2026-04-19, version 2026.4.0*

I find the app a bit hard to navigate, so it’s not my favorite.

### 3/5 — Ambivalent

*2026-03-12, version 2026.1.0*

Realm is not user friendly much of the time. I find it cumbersome to use v

### 3/5 — Good App But

*2026-03-01, version 2026.1.0*

This app seems functional but it still seems to be lacking a major feature of working with Apple Pay.   I get the option to use GPay on an iPad or iPhone but not Apple Pay.   Why???? Smh!

### 5/5 — Associate Pastor

*2026-02-01, version 2025.25*

Great for being able to communicate with congregation. Also,
when someone moves to different group or leaves the church, we can simply deactivate them from that group.

### 5/5 — The Best Church App

*2026-01-25, version 2025.25*

The best church on the planet for all churches any size!
