### "Got Your Church's App Online Yet?"

June 8, 2019

5.0

The usual process of conveying our needs and wants in an app were awkward for us and aware3 was a little slow initially on how to help us understand what they were able to do and how to do it. But that was just for a short while. We were able to get up to speed in a relatively short time and then everything turned out the way we wanted them to. Aware3 never gave up on us.

Pros

The process of building and getting our app was easy, quick and painless. The cost was much better than any of the other sites we'd visited to get our app. The features available for our app were useful and many.

Cons

The first contacts found us confused because we knew NOTHING about developing an app for our church. We were very low tech when it came to finding a suitable app and it took some time and lots of questions to get to the point of knowing what we wanted and how to construct it and there was such a learning curve on our part. At first, some explanations from the staff at aware3 weren't considering our lack of experise.

### "Been a fantastic company to work with"

January 16, 2018

5.0

This connects us to our congregation. They have easy access to forms, calendars, sermons, and a barcode for checking their kids in. For those that have created a login in the app, when they update their info it updates our database. Huge win! The app is way easier to navigate and find things on a phone compared to our website. This helps church members not grow frustrated when they want something quick and easy.

Pros

It integrates with Church Community Builder (CCB), which is a big win for us. I also really like the simple button layout. It's very clean and easy to navigate for users. I haven't heard one bad thing from a congregant, and we have a couple thousand downloads. The company has been great to work with. Very responsive with support and listens to ideas.

Cons

I feel like some things work differently between Android and iOS, like push notifications. They don't clear on Android when you hit them. They must be cleared manually. Also, clicking a push notification doesn't take you to the message. It simply opens the app. Kind of annoying to click the notification, it opens the app, then I need to go the menu to view notifications, then click on the notification to read it, then go back and manually clear the notification from my drop-down on my phone.

### "Really happy with our decision to use Aware3"

September 19, 2019

5.0

When looking to launch our first church app, I researched and spoke with all the major providers. None impressed me like Aware3 did. It became evident they were really passionate about creating a great product and experience for their clients. Sometimes you just get a gut sense of what kind of people you're working with, and every interaction I've had with them tells me they operate with integrity and authenticity. They are also ahead of the curve in researching and anticipating new ideas and features, and they regularly roll out new features.

Pros

I was dreading the work that was going to be involved in launching an app. It turned out the set-up process could not have been any easier. Aware3 has a user interface that is easy to navigate and understand. My part was to think through how to structure the information for our church (Sunday Mornings, Media, Calendar, etc.) and then plug in links and graphics. You also have complete control over the aesthetics and branding. My favorite things about Aware3, however, has been their people. They are so kind and helpful and are quick to respond to questions.

Cons

A couple years back, you would have to send them an email to add certain features. And while they were very quick top respond and get it setup... when I was working late on a Friday night to launch something new for Sunday I found myself up a creek. They have now built-in the ability to add those features yourself, so my primary disappointment no longer exists.

### "Best all-in-one solution for app, online giving, and events"

February 19, 2020

4.0

Our processes are streamlined by Aware3 allowing us to consolidate all three things I've mentioned into one online account. This has been a huge benefit for us in helping to streamline our time and efficiency.

Pros

We chose Aware3 because it was the best all-in-one solution for handling our church app, online giving, and event registration. The app is easy to edit and customize. You do not need someone that knows how to code or any backend knowledge like that. That is a huge bonus! Also, the same company that handles your app has native online giving through it as well. This was a big deal to us when choosing a company. Also, the event registration runs through the same backend financial processor which is a positive for our church's finance department. They only have one place to check for online giving and event registration money.

Cons

The monthly cost of $109 and the giving fees are not the best in the business. If we've ever considered leaving, it has been due to the cost. If you are looking for a cheaper solution, you will definitely find it.

### "Long Time User"

September 16, 2019

5.0

This app has allowed us to collect donations from people who maybe otherwise would not have given a donation. It is convenient and easy to use. We have received no complaints from anyone as it relates to using this app.

Pros

I like the fact that you can do more than just collect money with this software. I like that I'm able to connect with and contact everyone who has downloaded the app and that I'm able to post my sermon notes where it is accessible to my congregation members. I also like the use of forms for our events and we are not limited to the number of forms we can create.

Cons

It currently does not have an option to use a card reader. This comes in handy for those who do not wish to download the app or give through texting but will give a donation on the spot using their credit/debit card.

Reason for choosing Aware3

I felt it was more flexible to our use and needs.

### "Aware 3 Review"

May 28, 2019

5.0

The ease of giving for our congregation and being able to tell immediately what fund they want their giving to be placed under.

Pros

The congregation responded quickly & very favorably to the app. Our giving online is now almost half of our monthly giving. Customer service responds quickly to any question we might have when settling our account weekly. Great product!

Cons

The most difficult part I had was the recent change to setting up the "Developer App" with Apple. It caused major problems since we do not have another apple product in house therefore I had to use my I Phone and it erased "EVERYTHING" on my phone. It took my son & myself 3 1/2 hours on the phone with Apple customer service to get my phone reset. BAD experience!

### "Our experience has been really wonderful! With giving and the app, our church has been blessed!"

January 16, 2018

4.0

Giving became easier and increased and we get a church app! Very cool!

Pros

I love how easy it is to give! People find it so easy and they are surprised when they can simply text to give or use the church app. The church app has also been a blessing because people can use it for sermon notes and announcements! It has completely changed the way we preach the Word of God!

Cons

I wish the giving page (on mobile and desktop) would look more secure and more customized. I know you are trying to give it a clean look, but it's almost too clean. Having a statement, an image, or something, showing that it's secure would be wonderful! Also, I don't like how the downloads stat on the dashboard is not accurate. I wish I knew how many people actually downloaded the app and how many people use the sermon notes, and maybe even who has used it.

### "Great app for churches"

September 28, 2018

4.0

Aware 3 has been a great company to work with. They are very quick to respond when I email or call, and they were very helpful in getting the app setup.

Pros

The features of the app are great for churches - you can include sermon notes, your church calendar, announcements, Check-In, online giving and more. The interface is very easy to use to manage it as well.

Cons

I wish that there were some way to have a Member Directory included so church members can interact on the app. There is a chat feature, so that is nice.

### "Aware3"

September 28, 2018

4.0

Pros

Ease of use and setup. It's easy to manage features and quickly make changes.

Cons

I wish there were tighter integrations with Church Management Software (CCB). Profiles should be managed in CMS, but Aware 3 forces you to create a profile then reconcile. Add and removing app features should be allowed by the church administrator. Not all features can be managed. There should also be a "preview" feature after making changes before pushing it out to live app. I also wish the app can get updated much more frequently.

### "Best app software out there for churches!"

January 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

Integrates seamlessly with our database system CCB), Customization features are almost endless. Customer support is the bomb!

Cons

If you are looking for an app that doesn't require any effort, this isn't it - it won't magically do what you want it to do. But it's almost there and the thing I like is it offers you control of some design, interface, and customization. Most of the rest are what they are and you can't change a thing without jumping through lots of hoops.

### "I've Worked with the Worst and the Best...Aware3 is the Best"

September 21, 2018

5.0

Outstanding! Everyone is very nice, helpful, and open to suggestions. They also helped me to create a work-around solution to the way that I was using one of the functions to best suit the design of our app and the needs of our congregation.

Pros

Its very simple to use. The team offer options to work around anything that isn't built into the system at the moment to get to our end goals.

Cons

I would love to have a character counter for push messages, which I have suggested. I post a daily scripture and have to take it to an online character counter first before I can determine if it will work. Also, 130 characters isn't enough for an important announcement. The iPad orientation doesn't automatically see when I'm in landscape mode (even at the outset being at landscape), requiring that I turn my iPad back and forth several times before responding.

### "Great product"

May 28, 2019

4.0

Our immediate communication has increased greatly. Registrations for events and payment is so much easier. We saw a good increase in giving when it could be done anytime anywhere because of the app. We can update the information out there easily and stay relevant with out waiting for someone else to change our info.

Pros

Ease for the person who isn't an IT guru. Looks professional. Lots of options for the information we want to get out there. Forms are fabulous. Directly notifies anyone we want the information to go to. Love the giving aspect.

Cons

It's still developing and we add things as they are produced.

Reason for choosing Aware3

Their response time in answering our questions and concerns. Their gentle encouragement. Wasnt a pushy sell. Great hands on help.

January 16, 2018

Love the app. Aware 3 allowed us to step into the world of apps for a low price yet maintain a very professional looking app.

Pros

Easy to update and use, looks very professional, we have been very pleased with how quickly and professionally the team got us up and running, the communications features have been great too. Overall...very pleased...lots to like. :)

Cons

Some of the communications features were free to begin with (included) which have now become something that you have to pay for. The texting communications features, give by text, etc.

Great! Their customer support is awesome

Pros

It’s really a great product and super easy to use. I can teach a volunteer or church secretary how to use it and it gets the monotonous stuff off my plate. Customer service is also awesome as well and quick to respond!

Cons

It’s just not that customizable, but that is understandable. Things need to be standardized to allow a non-coder end user the option to use and understand the software.

Really no cons that I can think of right now. I you forced me to I would say continue to add more ways to personalize the app to the particular church and business that you are working with.

### "Good technology but limited because of outside factors"

January 16, 2018

3.0

Looks good and give you an app presence on smart phones without paying a ton of money.

Pros

The different options we have to use it for is great. Payments, calendar, notes, etc. All of that is great.

Cons

Our main reason for getting an app was so that we could have people listen to our sermons via the app easily. However, because of how it syncs from iTunes and because that takes over a week to do, no one actually uses it because the sermons are always out of date and not available when people need them.

Hi there! Thanks for the detailed review - glad you're enjoying our various features! We have seen instances where Apple has experienced delays between being visible in the native iTunes app and the web-based version of iTunes. The moment iTunes updates your web preview, we reflect the same in-app. Another option is to linking to the podcast through a web view, so there are no delays with waiting on Apple. Please reach out to us at support@aware3.com if you have further questions!

A great way to connect with our church family for a low investment. It solved so many of our communications problems, and they continually work to improve their product. Love them!

Pros

We love the adaptability of the app and are very happy with the financial side as well. It integrates perfectly with our CCB and we have high utilization in our congregation.

### "Our church app has been a very valuable tool for our church. The congregation loves it."

January 16, 2018

4.0

Our congregation has been able to stay connected with the church and our various activities through the app. Many people are able to hear the audio sermons or give their offerings even when the missed a service.

Pros

It's easy to setup. For a small church like ours, it's one of the most affordable solutions available. The payment plan we were initially on, made it possible for us to even consider a church app.

Cons

I would've loved a quicker update cycle instead of the twice-yearly cycle currently used. It would be nice to be able to setup sermon series in the listen feature in the same way that's now available with video feature. The forms creating tool needs more features such radio buttons, ability to resize text boxes and lay them out side by side if needed. At this point all forms element can only be laid out one over the other.

### "I love Aware3's product. "

January 16, 2018

4.0

As I said before, this product allows for great networking and giving possibilities that our small org would otherwise not be able to afford.

Pros

It definitely allows a small org. like us to have a robust app and giving platform that helps us grow!

Cons

I wish the giving platform allowed for pages that take away all fund giving and campus giving options depending on the application of the giving. For instance, on our website, if we're looking to take in money for a specific program, it would be great to have the functionality to send them to a page that only allows them to give to that particular fund. Also, I wish there was functionality for admins to not only cancel recurring payments, but to also switch which fund individuals are giving to in case of a mistake or because of an update to a fund name.

### "The Aware3 mobile app has been well received in our church and the adoption rate is very high."

January 19, 2018

5.0

It's been an important part of crafting a great Sunday Morning experience for our church members and visitors.

Pros

The software is highly configurable. We are able to orchestrate just the experience we want for visitors and regular attenders. We have a high adoption rate for taking sermon notes, giving and accessing the event calendar through the app. We've also found the people at Aware3 to be highly responsive if we've had a question.

Cons

There are a couple of pieces of functionality that we'd like to see in the software that are yet to be implemented and not certain if they are even on the drawing board yet.

Pros

This app has given us a whole different "face" and connection to our congregation. It brings much of our information in one concise location. This gives those who are part of Father's House a clean and clear central location to access and engage with the Father's House. It also gives a great place for registering for activities and events and for participating in financial giving.

Cons

Has been a little bit of a learning curve to be able to post to the app. However, it is not as complex as earlier software attempts.

Easily see online giving and we've received a wonderful app for our church to use as well!

Pros

Aware3 makes it easy to see our weekly online giving and they don't make you jump through any hoops to get to the data. I love the app that Aware3 provides along with the membership as well and the customer service has been phenomenal!

Cons

The only con Aware3 is that we are charged if our church doesn't bring in enough money, it's understandable though.
