Ratings and reviews

When it works it is decent. A bit limited in what it can do, but better than nothing. The issue is that it regularly has issues: doesn't connect to the server, requires user to constantly log in, shows information in duplicate, or shows nothing at all.

When it works it's alright. Unfortunately I've had the same experience as others where - after I've been using it for a few weeks - the app goes into some sort of loop when you open it, requiring me to uninstall & reinstall, which fixes it for a while.

Never had the crashing problem on my Android that other reviewers have had. Maybe that's fixed now? Seems like a handy little tool for a pastor to quickly access contact information. Definitely need to update the app to add the ability to filter Active and Inactive members, though. We have only a couple hundred Active members in our little church, but our entire 2,000+ member database shows up in the app. Good that they're accessible, but would be really nice to be able to filter the list!
