5-Stars for HUGE Leap Forward!
chadrob

The addition of this app to the CCB offerings is a HUGE leap forward and has provided immediate help to our church leadership! The basic features offered in this initial release—which are Attendance, Messages, People (group Participants list only, no search and no 'add-to-group' features), and Special Days (gives list of b-days and anniversaries of group participants)—are a great start. Attendance is extremely easy for established and smaller groups. You still have to log in from a browser to add new group members or add a new person to the system, but we still love having the Attendance capability right in the app! We look forward to seeing the following features added in future releases: 1) Ability to 'Add New' Group Calendar Events + View Event Information 2) Search + Add New Group Members Feature 3) Create New Profiles Ability 4) 'Search' Feature in People/Participants List 5) Send Group Twext from App 6) View Church-Wide Calendar + Events to Check for Event Overlap We look forward to seeing 'other' new CCB app's come out as well! We love appreciate all you are doing to help CCB churches become more efficient and effective in a very mobile world!

Please keep reworking it

This app does well with managing a single group, but as a pastor leading several groups at a time, it falls pretty flat. Logging in it connects to only one group I lead, with no option to add or even swap groups. There is no 'help' function, and even the graphic for the group isn't fitted to the screen size. This is a good beginning, but has miles to go before it is practically helpful. I really like CCB a lot, but the mobile options are pretty disappointing. To pull this off well would be incredibly helpful! Please keep at it; I'm really looking forward to being able to use this excellent database without having find a desk and crack open my laptop.

Great app

This is very helpful app. It's great to be able to do something on my phone and not have to rewind going to my laptop to message my group. I probably would've given it five stars but it is missing one key function that I can't seem to find. It needs to be able to attach pictures or documents from my phone to the message add this feature and it's a five-star app for sure.

Ok, for attendance

This app works fine if you just need to take attendance. I would really like 2 more features: 1) add new group members on the fly 2) push notifications. Or some sort of reminder to help me to keep up with my group attendance. A bonus would additional reminders to send out group Messages. I see others requested the ability to link to multiple groups or switch groups. I see a great value in that as well, just haven't needed it personally.

Doesn't work

Please take a look at the iOS integration. It's stuck on the view instructions page and does not go further.

A great step in the right direction!

I love this app! I have the mobi site saved to my home screen but I needed quick access to my small group without having to log in to the regular site. This is exactly what I needed. I can see my small group, edit info, map directions, and send a text or email to the entire group. It makes taking attendance a breeze! I can even see our attendance history. Another neat thing is, I can see special days like birthdays and anniversaries for each of member of my group. How cool is that? And it's all in an attractive interface. I only give it three stars because it's relatively new and has some quirks. It's missing back arrows so you don't realize by tapping in the upper left-hand corner you can go back a screen, and it only allows me to select two of the various groups I am in. I think the app is supposed to give you the option of seeing other groups you are a group leader of. It's a great start and I believe it will only get better. Thanks CCB!

Still has bugs

Even after this last update the app does not work well. I am a church staff member and am involved in several groups but the app only shows one group and not the one I need to take attendance for. We will not promote this app with small group leaders until this bug is fixed.
