Keeps returning to my own file

I’ve had PlanningCenterPeople but have never been able to get it to do what I need. When searching for a person, it will bring me to their profile but after I move anywhere else in PlanningCenterPeople or hit the arrow in the upper left corner it brings me to my own profile.

I’ve tried closing PlanningCenterPeople , I’ve tried signing out & back in, I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling PlanningCenterPeople .

Not useful

I would almost suggest scrapping this whole planning center system. It’s far too complicated, way too restrictive, an impossible to get everybody on board with.
Think about this, everyone has Facebook and knows how to use it. But only three out of 300 people are willing to use this. And it still does not accomplish the goals that we need accomplished.

Continuing to crash!

When this is your database, you plan on its functionality. You cannot depend on PlanningCenterPeople to function. The updates seem to fix something and then, no - it crashes - again.

I’ll change my review if something changes but for now I’m stuck using a browser instead of PlanningCenterPeople .

Good start but need lots of work.

For example. Wish you could actually use the forms.. and also have the ability to edit form responses. It would eliminate unneeded admin work on the backend to correct easy or overlooked errors when the form was filled out. PlanningCenterPeople is a good start but so much more can be done to make this competitive with other form services.

Worked well until the most recent update

PlanningCenterPeople works really well. It’s nice to be able to find church contacts when not at the computer. However, with the most recent update, I get an error when opening PlanningCenterPeople . When I re-open it, PlanningCenterPeople works fine. Probably needs another update?

Love this tool but...

This is a great tool, but my app now crashes every time I do a search. I am already missing the quick and easy access to information on my phone! I’m not always with my computer.

Address auto opens in native map app

Please add a functionality to long hold on a persons address rather than defaulting to Apple Maps. It’s significantly less used than google maps or waze is. Currently I have to edit the record and select the address which is broken into multiple parts.

App crashes

PlanningCenterPeople crashes immediately when Turing on face identification. It also crashes within seconds after logging in with password only. I would like to utilize PlanningCenterPeople instead of the website, but I cannot use until these bugs are fixed.

Great when it works

The people app is great when it works. Almost every time I go to update someone’s information (I have admin account access) it gives me an error and doesn’t work. I then have to go to a computer later to update the information that is given to me.

Great!

I really like PlanningCenterPeople and that they are constantly updating it. I wish I could export a contact from PEOPLE to my phone contacts though...

Works well but…

The font in the notes section is dark white in white. It’s very difficult to read what you’re writing.

Forms?

Why is forms missing from the people app?

Forms

Missing forms.

Also, I wish you could have forms be the thing that’s added to a workflow instead of the people that fill out those forms. That way you could process all kinds of things internally.

Great App...one addition that would take it to the next level!

Wondering if you guys are able to add some accessibility options to creat a new contact in the users address book with 1-click, populating phone, e-mail, and address inputs. That would bring things to a whole new level!

Love it

Update: Most recent update finally fixed the crash issue. Thank you.

Great apps. Love Planning Center. However the most recent updates have caused PlanningCenterPeople to crash every time I try and do a search. As the Admin Pastor this is a great tool to have when it works. Thought the most recent app was supposed to fix that, but...crash and burn every time.

Crashes After Search Result Selected

Happy to update this back to 5 stars. Especially after such a quick resolution to the problem reported!!

Had I rated this a week or so ago, it would’ve been a firm 5 star. But with a recent update, each time I select a record, it immediately crashes and asks me to sign in again. I’ve turned my phone off, thinking that may have been the culprit, but it is not. I do hope this gets corrected soon. As the ministry staff assistant, I’m a relatively heavy user of PlanningCenterPeople when not in the office. Thanks!

Awesome Church Resource!

I am an Associate Pastor at my church and the rest of the pastoral staff and I love PlanningCenterPeople! It’s so easy to look up church members that we need to contact if we don’t happen to have our church directory with us. So thankful for this awesome resource!

Keeps Crashing-Update

Originally wrote a review describing the issues I was having. Support reached out and cleared up the problem—which was a setting issue on my end. I very much appreciate them taking the time to review and address my problem. Great work—thanks!

GREAT app!

Thanks for PlanningCenterPeople. It is a wonderful tool for our church leaders. PlanningCenterPeople keeps getting better all the time. Good job on regular improvements.

One change to suggest

PlanningCenterPeople is pretty good, no complaints so far. I would just like to suggest one change. When leading in the nursery, it would be nice to be able to lookup who has background checks on the fly. For example, if we had someone come in wanting to serve that day saying they had served there before, it would be nice to just look their name up and see if they have been background checked. You can do this on a desktop but so far I have not found out how to do it mobile. I think a feature like that would go a long way in ensuring safety for our kids and make it convenient for nursery leaders. Thank you for listening!
