Simple but missing some features.

I like the tool overall. Haven't found anything easier and affordable. But they are missing some basic features and would be nice to have them to improve usability.

The software was a bit challenging initially, however we are able to use it for our purpose.

Reviewed 9 years ago

Our major concern is that we are not able to send a text of more then 60 words. This renders it useless in most of our announcements.

Hi there Pamela! Thanks for the review. Good news... our April release will lift the 160 character limit. You'll now have the ability to send as many characters as you wish. If you need anything at all let me know. I'm here to help!

Hi there Karen! You can select multiple groups to receive an email or text simply by clicking on all the group names. Each group that is clicked is added to the distribution list. Contact support if you have any questions though. We'd be glad to help.

Overall, Text in church is a great vehicle for communication, outreach and follow-up.

Reviewed 9 years ago

Ease of use. The only "con" would be the length of characters (key strokes) available (160) to write SMS messages. Possibly, if it could be extended a little higher, maybe to 200 key strokes. Other than that. I enjoy using the product. Thank you

This is insane easy

Reviewed 9 years ago

Once you do the original setup (and they template most of that for you) it does it all. I have to remind myself its working for me all week long. And I am a new-bee at this. Make sure you keep a human touch in this process though. Its so easy to let this system do all the work for you. But your mind will explode with endless possibilities when you really get into it

Life-saver

Reviewed 9 years ago

TextInChurch has been a lifesaver for our Chr1st Fellowship. In a day and age where everything tends to vie for our attention it is reassuring to know that with TextInChurch we have a means by which we can contact our Church membership, men's/women's groups, leadership team, etc... with important information. I give TextInChurch 5 stars and a hearty "Thank you!"

Amazing Tool for Ministry!

Reviewed 9 years ago

Text in Church is an easy way for me to follow up with church guests in a personal way. They are definitely committed to customer service and are alway ready with a quick response to help whenever I need it. I can do in 5 minutes what would take several hours without Text in Church, and it also allows people to respond back to me, a feature that I love!

Great tool for some churches not all.

Reviewed 5 years ago

It’s helped us cut down on using more communication options.

Pros

The ability to send mass texts, create groups and schedule texts to go out at a specific time.

Cons

Need to be a little more tech savvy than the average Joe to use it effectively. Cost is high. Options on mobile app aren’t as available as the desktop option.

Great platform. Easy to use and versitial

Reviewed 9 years ago

I really like the platform and the versatility of what can be done. I really like that it goes on auto pilot for you. It has really relieved a lot of our follow up stress. I do wish that once a message is read that it would show as read. The dashboard keeps telling me a message needs to be read until I reply to it. Some messages don't warrant a reply.

Text In Church has been a huge upgrade to our follow-up program at our church. It allows us to reach out to young families in ways that we never thought possible before. We have seen almost immediate results and a lot of positive feedback already! Their customer service is next to none as well! Text in Church has been a great blessing to our church!

Organize all your communication into one place

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Having the ability to manage all communication in one place is super useful and ideal for those who hate having to switch to different things all the time.

Cons

Would like the cost to not a little lower but you get what you pay for. There's a little bit of a learning curve but nothing that support can't help you with.

Thanks for the review Ben! Let me know if there is anything we can improve to earn that fifth star :) Thanks! ~ Tyler Text In Church Co-founder

Very Effective Follow-up System

Reviewed 8 years ago

We've been using Text In Church for 7 months and are very happy with the results. The automated follow-up system is excellent, but it is complimented by a number of great ideas for introducing yourself and your church to visitors. I find great value in the training videos and in the ideas on how to contact and connect with guests.

Not enough text messages for the smallest package.

Reviewed 8 years ago

I wish there was a way that I could pay for more of what I need and use more of opposed to paying for what I don't use as much. We are a small but growing church, and its quicker and easier to send text messages rather then emails. Once you run out of text messages...that's it. Not enough text messages for the smallest package.

What a great program!

Reviewed 9 years ago

We are finding several creative uses for this program, in addition to its intended use of following up with 1st time attendees. Their training and customer service go above and beyond. I haven't come up with a question yet that they aren't ready, willing, and able to deal with in short order. Keep up the great work, guys!

The idea in and of itself is stellar, but TextInChurch has gone above and beyond. The best part is that it doesn't seem like they are simply content with what they have. It's always up for improvements. Giving that impression was important to us! This technology is truly gonna make a difference in our church!!

The software has been really great with keeping our members in the loop. It hasn't been as effective for our community with new people.

Good Product

Reviewed 6 years ago

Great success. Many churches use this for quick polls, capturing visitor information, sending event items, etc. Would recommend.

Pros

Effective way to engage new and current people attending church. Easy to get quick response, visitor information, etc. Low barrier to entry.

Cons

Some apps now offer this type of service. If you can combine with current app, might be a more cost effective way to go.

Very helpful and saves time to connect with guests

Reviewed 8 years ago

I don't use all that I can with this software, which I intend to change in the upcoming month. This software makes contacting guests so much easier: sending texts, e-mails, reminders, downloading information and more. What I would like to see the program do is keep a record of attendance for guests.

Text in church allows me to get information out quickly, in a manner that is easy to use, but best of all in a way that most people respond to immediately! No more annoying phone calls or dismissed emails - everyone checks their texts. We're able to keep everyone up to date on what's happening here.
