Roll Call Reviews

We tried a variety of church management software programs before settling on Roll Call. I couldn't believe how simple it was to use and functional, especially compared to the more expensive programs like Shelby and Logos II, which both made me want to tear my hair out. We have been particularly pleased with how easy it is to print and customize things like labels and giving statements. And to top it all off, there's no ongoing fees. The tech support and sales people are all very friendly and prompt to respond. They let us purchase the software on a 10 month payment plan, which made it even more affordable.

We use this product to check in the children for Sunday services. It's been very easy to use for all parties. However, when we add a visitor under the check in window, I wish that we had the ability to issue theme a tag right away as well.

We have been using Roll Call for about 3 months and I really love the ease of use for the interface. This is a really easy database program for non-techie users. We are using the Roll Call to do our check-in for Sunday School and I like how you can customize how you can do check-in and I like the fact we can check in from our iPads. We are looking forward to using this check-in this summer when we have over 200 kids in our VBS program. We will have 4 iPads set up and I think Roll Call will really make it easier, safer, and more secure for our children checking in.

I have not used some of the features of this program, but I heartily recommend this program. I have used it in a limited way since the early 90's. The people are very, very nice to work with. They are a company with names and friendly voices on the telephone and so helpful. Try them out!! I do not mind being a referral, but I would have limited help to give as you can see.

The support staff at Roll Call is superb. They know the product and are able to answer ALL of my questions. They also initiate the support help. They suggested a webinar which was most. The showed me how to get done those things which I need for my church. They also send out emails with videos which help to maximize the use of their product. I could not be happier with the product and the support.

We were looking for a database program to assist with tracking gifts and pledges. This software has all the elements we were looking for, including easy input. We look forward to using the reporting tools for both our parishioners and for tracking purposes. Much more comprehensive than our old system of spreadsheets and complicated mail merges! I don't see us using the actual "Roll Call" features for tracking attendance, etc. I like the possibility of keeping all parishioner records in one place but for now, we'll use the donor record pieces.

Buy this program so you are able to work hand in hand with a company that cares. It has everything needed at an affordable price.

For years I was using a software product called Membership plus 2003, which is no longer supported. We need a product that was easy to setup and easy to input data. We searched for weeks comparing various products and concluded that RollCall was the easiest to setup, the easiest to input data, and best of all it was well within our spending budget. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a simple church accounting and attendance booking and more program. There's even an App. Looking forward to using that someday. Cheers.

It has been a wonderful experience so far. I loved that I was able to do a 30 day free trial in order to know if it would work for us before we spent the money! I highly recommend this software!

Every program has it's good and bad, they have continued to add to this program to make it robust, user friendly, and fit into our changing dynamics. Whenever an issue it identified they are quick to make updates to the software. More importantly they will help you figure out how to get answers to questions that your church needs to know with queries, reports, and already prepared shortcuts. I have been using RollCall for 6 years and would recommend it to every church as a great program to run their member database along with contributions.

Pro's It makes check in go much faster. Love the reporting available. Can easily add visitors. Con's Checkin roster should be able to print in one step. There is more that is available with the software, need more tutorials, or a place where instructions are posted at a readily available place. Maybe a training session when you first get the software - that would be great!

We needed a software that offered giving records, kids church check in, directory records, and we got so much more with Roll Call. The program is in a lot of ways very customizable to suit your ministry needs. By far the customer service has been impeccable. I have never dealt with a business that cared so much for its customer satisfaction. To recommend only would be an understatement I have to go a bit further and say EVERY church needs to give this software a try...

The program itself is very easy to navigate. The Roll Call User Manual is very easy to follow. The only thing about the program we wish was standard are certain tabs that we used in our other program, without having to place the information in the Custom Tab. With different people using the system and inputting information, it is to easy for them to forget to click on the Custom Tab or the Date Tab to input the information, which was standard on our other program. Other than that, we are enjoying Roll Call.

Very user friendly. There are so many benefits to Roll Call from data entry to reporting. Being able to pull just the information that you want on reports is a blessing. You don't have to wade through information that you don't need. I love Roll Call. It has made my data reporting much easier.

We use Roll Call Client on multiple machines, allowing only one person at a time to access the data. This works great for our use, and I appreciate By the Book allowing this option for a smaller church like ours. Roll Call also allows us to focus on ministry to those who come to our church, making it easy to stay in touch and update their information. The system load up is a bit slow when making changes, though, and I look forward to better infrastructure that would allow faster data transfers.

would like to have the ability to see all of a child's profile from check in screen

We tried Roll Call on a hunch for our Child Check In needs. Since it was a free trial we were able to work through start up learning and configuring issues. The trial went great, we had to call support a couple of times and they took care of our needs instantly! We have been "live" on the software since early February 2017 and to date no issues! Our Childrens Director couldn't be happier!

We love Roll Call Lite! We have many refugee families and volunteers to keep track of for our ministry, and it really is the perfect software for us. It has been so easy to use and the customer service (especially Kim) has been awesome in helping me out with my lack of computer knowledge if I ever do have a question. We needed something simple just to keep track of information and the cost was SO reasonable. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for help with managing their database.

I can not praise this company and the staff enough. They have always been friendly and very helpful when I call with questions. The software was very user friendly when setting it up for our needs and is very user friendly when entering data.The custom reports and pulling information is normally what I call about and they are able to interact with me and show me what to do. Someone with more computer knowledge would probably not have the questions I do. This program saves a lot of time.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone inquiring!

We are a new church and was looking for a check in system that we could use for the safety of our children. We are very pleased with this product. It's very easy to use. I know this product does a lot more than what we use it for, but I'm glad it's there if we need it. If your not sure on how to work something, their tutorials are great. Customer service is wonderful. They call and check on you after the purchase of the product. Overall it's a great product.

We looked for a long time to find a database/check-in solution for our church. We were drawn to Roll Call because of the option to keep it all on local servers and not store everything online. Ordering, downloading, importing, and set up have been a breeze. Especially with the help from the awesome folks at support. It's even been pretty simple to teach our parents how to check their kids in. Thanks for a great buying experience, great support, and an over all awesome resource for churches.

Roll Call works great. I recently started as financial secretary of my church and was looking for an easier way that excel to manage the pledges/contributions/accounts of my church. This does everything I need and the customer support has been wonderful. Step by step instructions are given in an easy-to-understand manner. Helpful reports are available and a click and print receipt for individuals or the whole congregation.

I reviewed the issues we were having with our server and Roll Call. Dave dialed in to remotely control the troubleshooting. He disabled many applications that were running in the background, thus freeing up a considerable amount of memory, allowing Roll Call to run more efficiently. It is always a pleasure to speak with Dave and Caroline. They are always friendly and eager to help resolve any issue that may arise. Outstanding Customer Service is my opinion!

Create a way to have families together when doing attendance as a society we have more & more blended families. I.e. group parents alphabetic and then children with different last name with the family number. Same as when there is a Jr. or Sr. suffix after someone's name.
