Planning Center Services for Positive User Reviews
✓ UpdatesYou guys continually make my life with your update notes. And the app is pretty fantastic as well ;)!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Excellent AppA great website now also a great iPhone app. Perfect!.Version: 0
✓ Multiple Churches / AccountsWe need to be able to sync and see all accounts and upcoming services from the schedule tab. I want to see and access all upcoming services from multiple churches without having to log in and out of each account. I want to sync my account to multiple churches and see everything I have access to, without making new accounts and passwords for each church..Version: 5.8.10
✓ Couldn't do without itQuite simply a fantastic system for scheduling and a managing services. These guys have thought of almost everything and at our church, Proclaimers, we couldn't do without it!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Access to full site...Nice app! Very useful! However from the mobile app, it would've been great to access the previous schedules and songs or at least a link that takes us to the full site. That way we can have access to the calendar and songs that were previously on schedule. Thx BTW funny updates description !.Version: 2.6.1
✓ This app rocks my socks offThis app would rock my shoes off too, if I was wearing any. This app rocks in a very real way, and I don't say that lightly. To be able to see the order of service, which team members are on, click on tracks, charts and lyrics... What a dream. Planning Centre is so good, I cry tears of joy every time I think about it. It has quite literally changed my life, or at least my pre-service life. I thank God for this app. It is so good. (I know I repeated myself but I am a raving fan. I have no relation to the company whatsoever. Here's some light criticism to prove it: that shade of green that they use is kind of icky. But it's not that bad)..Version: 2.6.1
✓ GoodI like it but it does take up a lot of space since I love music. Other than that it is really helpful..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great and easy to useThis app is great and really easy to use. It's helped me loads and others find it useful as well. A mini reminder book in your pocket!.Version: 2.7.3
✓ IOS only, no Microsoft Store appThis app works good, however if I want to print our music for the Sunday morning worship service, I cannot do so from my Windows PC. Unless I email myself the files to print. It would be nice to have the app in the Microsoft store so that I could install it on my PC and print directly out of a “Services“ app. Yes, I can print from my iOS device, if I have an AirPrint compatible printer, which is harder to come by..Version: 5.8.8
✓ Block outsLatest update does not allow dates to be blocked out at only one church..Version: 5.0.2
✓ #1 app, plus smilesWithout contest, the app I access the most on my iPhone. Very easy to use, well designed and gets me all the info I need. Bonus are the hilarious one-liners included in every app update description. ;-).Version: 2.9.3
✓ Solid AppWorks as well as the browser version. Updates are numerous and timely, with a bit if humor..Version: 2.6
✓ Love it!!This revision is a HUGE improvement over the last. Haven't used it thoroughly yet, but you won't be disappointed. Great job!.Version: 2.0
✓ Amazing, but....Hey PCO. I love Planning Center and I love your app. Super intuitive and practical!! I use it almost as much as I use PCO on my computer. But I’ve been having a couple of problems lately. When I create a new person on the app and put their info in, it doesn’t save the info. I know this because after I create a new person and schedule them for an audition, I ask them to check their email for a PCO invite and they never get it until I redo creating them on the full-site version. Also, sometimes it crashes and it seems to always be at the worst time. I lead worship for The Point Church out the Raleigh area of NC. One thing we are asked to do is to be praying about things to say at certain points in the service. God will give me things to say at odd times and when I receive them, I like to write them in my notes on PCO immediately. I was doing that tonight and was almost done when the app crashed. This wasn’t the first time this happened, but tonight it was extremely frustrating..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Update! This app and tech support is awesome!Hey I love this app it’s great but now that I’ve moved to a new church I’m unable to remove myself from my old church worship team. I think it’s the reason I can’t accept requests from my new worship team. Error says “this request is no longer valid”. Otherwise I’d give 5 stars. Update! Tech support was super helpful and the fix was super easy, and I figured out I can have multiple logins under the same email for every church I serve with apparently. Tech support figured it out for me and responded to me within minutes, although they say they’ll respond within an hour during business hours. Thanks God bless..Version: 4.0.6
✓ Awesome app!This app is rock solid, and is proven to make your worship team rock on at least 3 times harder!.Version: 2.6
✓ Great app, easy to useReally enjoy the update details when an update is performed for this app. Always entertaining!.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Planning centerOk so this is great! I love it however I’m not a leader so I’m not the one sending out the requests I’m just receiving them. Well I sing at two different church’s but I’m only able to get notifications from one so i don’t know if that’s a me problem like I’m not sure if I did that or if I can’t have two different church’s on planning center. If I can could someone please explain how to do so in detail cause I’m lost😂.Version: 5.8.8
✓ Amazing!!Love this app! So easy to check when I am on roster and to schedule people! In love with this app :D.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Wonderful AppGreat app that is a true asset for managing church life.Version: 2.6.1
✓ 10 seconds back, 30 forwardLove PCO. But (you just had to know that was comin’)... I like getting the piano parts right, and getting my fingers used to doing what the guy on the recording is playing. At present, I can take that itsy-bitsy white dot and move it backwards to hear “that part” again. Of course, there’s no real control, and I almost always move it way too far. It would be great to be able to rewind in 10- or 15-second bits, and be able to advance in 30 second bits. That way, I can practice those piano riffs over and over again. Also, would like to see an option to turn on or off sleep mode on the phone or tablet. I never (EVER) remember to turn off sleep mode on my phone. It could be put in as an option that we could set (Disengage Sleep Mode while using Planning Center). Just a couple of thoughts..Version: 3.4.1
✓ No contestEasily one of the most used apps on my phone. First thing I did getting to a new church was set up Planning Center!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Doubled up or ghosts namesI love this app. We use it in our church constantly and it really helps to keep everyone on track with schedules and songs etc. However, many times it shows people on the services schedule who had been deleted previously from the schedule or it doubles up names, and every single time, the only way I get it fixed is by deleting and redownloading the app because when I hit the name to remove it, the “oops error” message pops up and takes me back to the schedule. Please fix this bug or let me know how to get rid of it without having to delete and redownload. Thank you for this wonderful tool..Version: 5.2.4
✓ GreatI love the app and how organized it helps us be with the services and with everything going. What I would suggest, and I know I’m not the only one, is for us who work at two or more different churches have those as tabs that we can cycle through so that we don’t have to create a new profile every time we work at a different church. That would help tremendously!! Right now i use it on my phone but the app only lets me access one church and for the other one i have to login on safari. Please help with this ASAP, it would mean a lot to a lot of us!!.Version: 3.5
✓ Seriously, if you use Planning Center, use this app.For any tech company to promise weekly update releases across their products is ambitious and crazy enough. For a company to actually deliver, and without frustrating customers with unnecessary or ill-communicated changes? That's Planning Center. If you plan any type of service or event, religious or otherwise, that requires the coordination of multiple people, teams, media, notes, and timing, then this is the app you're looking for. Constantly making incremental improvements and listening to users for feedback, this app (and company) should be the standard to strive for. Their Support is second to none, and I've never had an issue they couldn't resolve. I've been using the app since version 1, and it just keeps getting better. I appreciate that it's not just a port of the web app, but that it's device-conscious, and adjusts to fit the screen size it's given to work within. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Also, who writes the update notes? Seriously? I laugh every time. Thank you for caring about every little detail..Version: 3.3.2
✓ So good!Super easy to use and the update comments give me life 👌🏼 Not eternal life though, I already got that sorted..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Extremely helpful!This app makes all my planning a rehearsal easier.Version: 2.6
✓ Great app!!Awesome, would be cool to be able edit team members for admins but otherwise works great!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Best app everWe use this app and the online access everyday of the week. Our main service uses it the most but our children's ministry & and Youth department. It is a huge help getting our services on time and on track, our worship team goes up during the week and has access to the coming weeks worship set. I am sure there is much more that I am not saying here, if I could give it a 10 star rating I would..Version: 3.3.2
✓ ExcellentMakes leading and worshipping God easy! Would never choose to be without this app and Music Stand. Thanks guys for designing such a great app to bless the body of Christ..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Love this appThis app is amazing! It love the ease of scheduling my team and choosing music for each week. There are a few minor things that you can only do in the desktop version, but in general, everything I need functions great! The developers have put in a ton of work to make planning centre user friendly and useful on so many levels. Great work! Well worth the money..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Love the descriptionsThis app can't replace the website completely but you can do most things. But the truly best part is reading the descriptions of bug fixes and new features in each update. These guys are awesome. Would love to see the ability to add a new key for a song in the app without having to use the website..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Use it all the time - Amazing appI love how much work has gone into this app and our team reports that it just keeps getting better - these guys are onto something here - super professional!! Well done PCO.Version: 3.3.3
✓ Amazing.Thanks app has made my life easier..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Great appLove the way you can accept or reject my scheduled appointments..Version: 3.11.3
✓ Almost greatSometimes the volunteer leaders at my church send updates to set lists at hours I’m not in the office so I turn to the app to make changes. Being able to easily add a link in the app would be helpful, because I need to do this in our team’s process. I have to turn to Safari browser which is less than appealing on a mobile device. I also sometimes still have times when a service shows “needs” we don’t have. We’re just not that needy! (Yes, I love your update fixes). Those don’t show up on the web browser. I’d give a high five if imbedding links could work!.Version: 3.3.3
✓ Great app! 😀This app is one of the best scheduling apps out there! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who was looking for an app like it!.Version: 3.8.2
✓ Great app for Worship LeadersI've been scheduling a growing worship team with busy lives for rehearsals and services, and on top of that I was also doing our order of service schedule every week. I looked at this app a few years ago but now it just does exerting I want. Big thanks to the team for a great app..Version: 2.10.5
✓ Great App!A fantastic app that so easily organises worship teams and services. It is so helpful to be able to preview songs, read through sheet music and view the layout of the songs in the upcoming services. My church uses this software and as musician, I think it is priceless!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Literally the greatest app/service I’ve ever usedThat’s it. That’s all..Version: 5.8.10
✓ Great app minor issuesHave been using this app for at least 6yrs. It has made great new upgrades and fixes over the years that I greatly appreciate. Keep them updates coming! There is one problem currently that I have been dealing with this app. Definitely not a deal breaker but hoping there will be a fix soon. I don’t know when it started but noticed it about a month ago. The times on the mobile app doesn’t match the time set up using the desktop website. It is always off by 2hrs despite being correct via desktop website. Example: I have service set for 9am but on the app is starts at 11am..Version: 5.8.2
✓ Really helpfulAwesome tool!.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Love…I’ve had a love/hate relationship with PCO Services over the years. Love because I can schedule on-the-go. Hate because some things have been buggy or hard apart from the web app. Recently, the app updates have really made Services much more useful. Currently, the ability to print a report from directly within the app makes me happy every week. Looking forward to more improvements in mobile usability..Version: 5.8.1
✓ What an App is made for.Great companion app for the software. Easy to use, fast and clear. This is brilliant software..Version: 2.10.1
✓ Absolutely fantasticThis has helped our church so much, and the update notices are fantastic :D.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Song playbackPlease add the option to either raise or lower the pitch of a song during playback. Thanks!.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Great program, great appYou can do more on desktop, but for the app, you can do a lot. Great for the team to use - easy..Version: 2.10.1
✓ Great update!!New update is fantastic. Great job. Can we get a function that allows us to sync schedules with our calendar? That would be SO helpful!! :).Version: 2.0
✓ Love! BUT....This app has truly changed our teams for the better and has helped us grow in our organization and planning. Can’t say enough good things about this app if you haven’t tried a tool to get you services organized, this is it! The next few things are just a few suggestions I’d like to see available for the app as they are for the desktop version. I would love to be able to access the matrix view on my iPad when planing services. I would also like to see an improvement for uploading files because I have to try a couple times before it fully uploads. Sometimes it starts to upload and then it will crash..Version: 3.11.3
✓ My favorite app ever!!🎵🎶Love this app- so useful, you did a great job with it. But it would be really nice if you could play the music from the chord charts you’re looking at. Music Stand has that feature, where you can play the same music as the lead sheets or chord charts if you touch the screen and push play above, but in Services, you have to start the song in the Media Player, and then quickly exit out of the and go to Files, where the chord charts are attached. I think it would be really great if you could play the music from Files. Other than that, I don’t have any other suggestions or complaints! :).Version: 4.1
✓ Great work!Love reading the update descriptions you guys put out! Always makes you laugh! Also, love the updates. Very intuitive to what's needed. ;).Version: 2.6.1
✓ AWESOME APPGreat app I use it all the time. Very well done.Version: 2.3
✓ FANTASTICBest thing to come to rostering!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ App good, but a few problemsThe app works well, but the PCO system has a few problems, if you like more collaboration. The app has gained in features & abilities, and works well as designed. The Planning Center Online is set up with team leaders (e.g. a leader for musicians, a leader for audiovisual workers, etc.). When a team leader sends a notification or other communication, there is no way to reply within this app; I'm always looking for ways to keep communications organized, and email decluttered! I can't reply in this app, but must go to email. I'd love to have Ministry chats kept in this app. When a team leader seeks input from team members, that's not possible here; members are limited to Accepting assignments! If an unexpected event causes someone to need to cancel their prior acceptance of an assignment (PCO DOES allow that to be processed), there is no way to swap with someone else and have that swap show up in PCO. Support has recommended that we put the name of our substitute in the Reason for Declining field; the team leader will have to perform the actual swap, but that means Leader is aware of the swap..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Doesn’t workI’ve had some issue logging in, sometimes on Sunday during crucial times. I’ve occasionally been logged out and had to log back in, I believe some of these issues are with AWS and not necessarily the app. Planning Center provides a great service that helps me more than it doesn’t work, but when I can’t log in, it drives me crazy. To the Matt who responded, I’m very sorry to come off so negative in my original review..Version: 5.8
✓ Love Services!By far my favorite app that we use for our worship band because it keeps us organized, sends notifications when I am requested to sing, you can upload the key you were singing or playing in, you can upload the lyrics, and there are spaces for notes for personal preferences. I it’s very easy to log into and you can even email your worship leader on here! it tells you the time and date you are supposed to sing or play, and it pulls up right away. Again, my favorite app that we use for worship!.Version: 5.8.11
✓ AwesomeWe used this recently to run @lifewellconference2011 and it worked a treat. We had stacks of iPads & iPhones all keeping tracking track.. Couple of iPad glitches but nothing big. Great job!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ SuperbGreat app, great site and fantastic tool for churches everywhere.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Great AppI use this app every single Sunday and it's great! I get all the attachments right on my phone and can see the Order Of Service! One thing that would be cool would be that I'd be able to leave notes on the songs and order of service, that only would show up on my account so only I could see them.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Excellent appIt is very well made..Version: 2.6
✓ Love itI honestly just love reading the update notifications, it’s also helpful for scheduling, duh.Version: 3.5
✓ Useful in planningThis is a useful tool in planning what songs we e will be singing, looking at what songs we have already sung, scheduling volunteers out, striving the liturgy. I would like to see an option added for scheduling songs. In the song tab when you can select a song to view it would be great, once you open the arrangement, if we could hit the scheduling button and pick a date we have coming up rather than just seeing the dates it was last played..Version: 5.8.5
✓ Great.The update looks fantastic! The application is great and works great with the goings out at our church. It's been a great help..Version: 2.0
✓ Best app update descriptions ever.Best app update descriptions ever. Whoever writes these needs a pay rise..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Hey, just writing this to say I really love the description of the app updates!A very great and usually very useful and functional app! 10/10 would recommend! Hey developers! Here are some things to think about for future updates. -an option to make the font bigger in the app; especially in live mode -a notification (screen flashing or vibrating or something) when people type in live chat -a way to chat with just one person on live chat - a way to type in notes to a live screen and use it like a stage message screen or TelePrompTer -a flashlight Thanks heaps guys.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Love it, but I would find an addition useful..I love this app! It’s easy to use and understand. It’s definitely effective and helpful, particularly in receiving and responding to requests. The only thing that me and the rest of my team would love to see is the ability to view the notes that can only be created on the desktop site. They appear in a blue bubble with the number of comments posted. We prefer to post song info in there, but no one can see it on the app! The other two description or note options on both the app and website either make the plan look excessive and long or they stay with the song every time we use it in a plan, even though the details we put in will need to change every time. I like everything else about the app and will still continue to use it regularly!.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Great:)Helpful:).Version: 2.10.5
✓ Simple and convenientThis app is great, easy to use and saves time from going on the computer.Version: 1.3.5
✓ BestPerfect.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Practical and funny!I’m new to this and wasn’t sure how I would take to it but so far, I love it! 👍🏼 I particularly like the character behind the funny comments & reasons for blocking days out 🤣.Version: 3.11.4
✓ New version looks greatNew version looks great.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Almost perfectI love this app, and we basically run our entire church service on it. I have one small problem with the iPad app though. When in slide over or split screen mode, the songs tab will only show the filter screen; there's no way to see the list of songs without going into full screen mode. This also only seems to be a problem on the smaller screen iPads, my worship leader has the 12.9 Pro and this isn't a problem for him. I have the 10.9 Air and this problem is present..Version: 5.5.2
✓ Top appKeeps things going smoothly for our teams. Thanks for a great app..Version: 3.2
✓ Top notch appEvery time I think that PCO has reached the limit of the goodness that it provides I’m shocked at the next update. As a long Time PCO user I appreciate that feedback and a genuine desire to make the app better is what drives this team. The only thing that could make the app better is if it only worked on iPhones (so I could get my team off of those silly other useless devices they call “smart” phones..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Love this app!!!Our church is using a few Planning Centre resources now. We love what these guys do and that they are always thinking ahead. I really enjoy reading the app updates - very clever!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Please add timesDefinitely love the new upgrade BUT would love if there was an option to show the times in the service order...now it shows the amount of time but I would love if it could show the time that the item happens in the service. That's what I look to during a service to see if we're on time!.Version: 2.0
✓ Stable is Great!!!Thanks for the update!.Version: 2.10.3
✓ Incredibly professional app!I have been using this from a scheduler’s side for a couple of months now and it is really professionally done. It makes me look like I spend a lot more time than I do when it comes to scheduling teams. It does lack some features that are in the full website version, but it works really well for most purposes. I’m not going to make major changes to a plan from this app, but it’s great for making the more common plan and scheduling changes (this was the only reason I had for giving it 4 instead of 5). It’s always handy to be able to carry around the weekly service plans in my pocket. Thanks for a great app and platform!.Version: 3.3.3
✓ .Usually it's great to use but since the latest update I can't even access it.Version: 2.5
✓ Planning Center ServicesThanks to Planning Center, I find it easier as a volunteer to see my schedules, accept and deny too! One problem with it is that it often will sign me out when I update the app or open the app without an Internet or data connection! Other than that, I think you guys did a great job!.Version: 3.2
✓ Ministry saverThis app gets me. I mean, really gets me! Not only does it literally save me hours of time, between the ease of schedule and the lack of confusion among volunteers, it also cracks me up EVERY TIME there is an update. Keep the jokes rolling over there! Thanks for helping the church!.Version: 3.2
✓ Best app for planning ChurchWe've used this app for a little while now and it's great. We use it for Worship Team, production and soon for Kids Church. Each update makes it better and I am very thankful for the creators of this app..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Love it!Great app. Great God. Simple yet complex and all around perfect and always improving! Yes, I still read the update notes!! They leave me laughing every time. I wrote this review to tell you :) God bless you!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Great appSuper useful and has great puns for the bug fixes :).Version: 3.4
✓ Barry LaytonI serve the first Sunday of every month. Barry Layton.Version: 5.12.0
✓ Great app, one improvement recommendationOur church has been using planning center online for a decade now and it has mature in features and functions so well scheduling the liturgy, the personnel, and communicating to all needed parties to have a smooth service! One thing I suggest is to be able to create series title and image and not just message title. Otherwise, we have to go back to the desktop version to do so. Thanks!.Version: 5.7.2
✓ God's blessings come in App formYou could say we were a bit of a traditional UK church. Not very tech savvy and not keen to embrace modern ways of organising or planning our services, techies, musicians, preachers etc. This App along with the Online subscription has revolutionised the way we organise the church. It works so well, even our most sceptical staff have embraced the blessing that is planning centre. Support is excellent and updates and enhancements are second to none. Planning Centre you are our rock and foundation. Keep up the great work..Version: 2.10
✓ AmazingThis is now a legitimate iOS app. I won't ever have to log on to the website again. Thanks for responding to feedback..Version: 2.0
✓ New to thisSeems like a great app! I just started serving at my church and it's very helpful to see when and who I'm working with. There are some things that seem to confuse me. The set up of it is a bit confusing but I can get a hold of it. I think you should be able to add friends on here, if you have someone specific to talk to about the plans (if they don't use email) I think that that would be a great addition because there's a person I've been wanting to contact about my schedules. But overall this is a great app (sorry if my English was bad).Version: 3.7
✓ Good app- notes glitch?I love PCO- it’s super easy to use. My only issue lately (didn’t used to be this way) is that I can no longer enter notes from my iPhone XR. I’m not sure if it’s because I don’t have the “newest and best” phone, but it never used to be an issue. It allows me to enter the notes, and looks like it saves, until I go and click on the notes and they are gone. It’s very frustrating..Version: 5.8.5
✓ App (used to crash) every time I enter blockout datesIt’s almost like they’re shaming me for blocking out dates and not being able to serve! But seriously, the last two updates have not resolved this crashing and closing of the app when blockout dates are entered. Which adds more stress to try and find a way to communicate that we will not be available. Please fix this! *** Problem solved! Thank you to Matt, for kindly responding and suggesting to delete the app and re-download it. I can blockout dates for both my husband and I, no issues!! So anyone having the app crash, delete it and re-download it!.Version: 4.1
✓ ExcellentExcellent addition to excellent site. The app is very useful to use when in the rehearsal and service. Do it!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great update!So glad with the latest update. Was growing concerned at how buggy the app was, but this seems to have fixed it all now! Thanks.Version: 2.10.3
✓ ExcellentFantastic app, made things easier and simpler to perform..Version: 5.9.3
✓ Coordinator's best friendI love this app almost as much as I love Jesus #bigcall It's great to update schedules on the go, throw in ideas and check if your team has updated their relevant areas! It's even more fun when I'm coordinating and can make adjustments on the spot moments before the program to ensure a smooth service. Their update descriptions aren't bad either #toopunny Thanks for the hardwork and awesome app PCO!.Version: 2.5.4
✓ A great toolAs a member of a large statewide choir, this app is very handy for receiving the details of an upcoming concert. Our leaders send the music out for us to listen to, and on major events we even have the music by parts! The last update has made it impossible to download the MP3’s on my computer. I get the loading circle with a note preparing to download that I give up on after several minutes. This is upsetting because I use these to learn my part. I can still listen on my phone, but that’s not always convenient..Version: 5.7.2
✓ Love your creativity in a normally boring spotLove the update notes. After accidentally reading the first one and laughing my head off, I look forward to them! So much better than the typical "bug fixes" O ya...the app it's tfk is also awesome!!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ INCREDIBLEThis app is literally AMAZING!! We wouldn't be able to do what we do every Sunday without it. Highly recommended and extremely thankful!! Praying for you guys, God bless. #TeamJesus.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Player Control Options LackingI use this app as a worship team member to rehearse for Sundays. The app is great for the most part, but it would be a huge improvement to be able to jump backward by 10 seconds with a tap while learning the songs. Trying to scrub to go over a part multiple times while holding an instrument is a bit frustrating. Otherwise it’s a great tool for our team! Thanks!.Version: 5.8.10
