Hello App Review Team, Thank you for reviewing our app. This app is a multi-tenant church platform designed for churches, pastors/admins, and members. Important Notes: The app is free to download. Only Pastor/Admin accounts require a monthly subscription after the free trial period. Member accounts are free and do not require any payment. The subscription only unlocks Pastor/Admin church management features after the trial period. The app includes both Log Out and Delete My Account options inside the Settings menu. How to Test: Admin Account Email: infojr.83@gmail.com Password: Joaquim2022# Member Login Church Code: APPCHU-WRJ3 You may use any email address when logging in as a member, as long as the correct church code is entered. Testing Notes: The review account is already connected to a demo church, so no church code is required for login testing in that case. If needed, a church can also be created inside the app to generate a church code. Inside the app, you can test the following features: Home Live video inside the app Events Church chat Giving links Settings Log Out Delete My Account I also have a short video clip available to help demonstrate the app, but I was unsure where to attach it during the review submission process. Thank you for your time and consideration. If you want, I can make this even more polished for Apple App Review specifically.
