Issues with app
Good morning, I use this app in our church to schedule counting for the deacons, however recently this app has stopped working for me. It will not find any church’s when I search. Do you have a fix you could provide?
It’s ok
I’m a worship director and there’s not an option to upload a new song into the song library when using on my phone. I find that a little annoying because I have to use my laptop for that.
Great App
Great App overall. Can you please enable the ability to attach documents in group email messages. Right now, I can only accomplish on my desktop computer! Thank you and keep the updates and improvements coming!
Hooray for landscape mode!
I access this app almost exclusively on my iPad, which I use like a laptop, in landscape mode with a keyboard build into the cover. So it used to be very uncomfortable and inconvenient when Lead only functioned in portrait mode. I went to the App Store today to give that feedback and noticed there was an update available, so I initiated the update. Hooray! The update included a new functionality in landscape mode! I’m so thankful! That works so much better for me!
Volunteer scheduling
Great took and resource for all things volunteers!! Only reason why i haven’t given 5stars is due to the glitching that happens when scrolling through large teams. Ones that’s fixed this app is money!!
Please Add Notifications
Useful app but it would be so helpful if Notifications were a feature. Personally I’m drawn to the red bubbles on my phone apps. I don’t like them. They get my attention. Unfortunately, the Lead App does not have them and I also have a lot of unfinished process queue tasks as well. I know that I can and should schedule time to open the app everyday but adding this notification feature would be awesome.
Good but Frustrating
Taking attendance, seeing schedules, and accessing people’s contact info to call or text is pretty easy But one of the ways that I would love to be able to use the app is to be able to share contact info quickly with other people. Someone asks me as a pastor for a congregants contact info or group leaders contact info (assuming it’s appropriate to share) and I can’t just send it to them in a text or email. I have to go in and “edit” the person and copy the info then switch back and forth between apps to share. It’s very cumbersome. This circumstance happens multiple times a week.
