Director of Communication & Guest Services Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We shopped around" May 28, 2019 5.0 Our transition to Aware3 was seamless and everyone we encountered on the Aware3 team was helpful, quick to respond, and really pleasant. Pros Very easy to add new features, link to our website, etc. I love that I can post events to our website and have it automatically show up on our app. (Before switching to Aware3 we had to upload these things separately and something would get forgotten without fail.) It's also very useful that it ties directly to our CCB account so that signup forms are always available on the app. Cons It took me awhile to get the hang of graphics. The library of graphics can't be edited. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 4, 2019 Hi Almeda, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us some comments about your experience. Sounds like the app has been great in helping you streamline your processes - just what we like to hear! VR Verified Reviewer Pastor Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product backed up by great people." January 19, 2018 5.0 ability to be present in app environments and not just website. Good organization of our content in an easy-to-use app. Pros It's easy to use and a fantastic value for the money. As a small church with a part-time communications coordinator, we don't have the time and energy to manage things on many platforms simultaneously. We've been pleasantly surprised with how much we've been able to do through this app - even things like geographically targeted push notifications with a few simple clicks. Cons I would love to see more opportunities to interface with Church Community Builder. Features have been added that have been really helpful, but it would be great to continue to develop that functionality. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Aware continues to improve it's software. We are very pleased with the continual progress." January 16, 2018 4.0 Pros Very simple to use and provides all basic elements well. Always receiving updates of improvements that are made and simple tutorials to learn the process. Cons There are a few unusual approaches to some steps, but Aware is open to make changes. You can count on them to look into suggestions and make some serious improvements. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Children's Minister Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It does what I need" September 26, 2018 3.0 It give us one central location to push everyone to. Pros It does have a nice contemporary look that is completely customizable for your organization. It gathers all our different platforms to one central location for our congregation to use. Cons It took a while to figure out how they wanted things done. Some of our custom buttons were very hard to create. There was A LOT of trial and error trying to get everything to look right on IOS and android platforms. Review Source Response from Aware3 October 11, 2018 Hello! We really appreciate your review. We're glad to hear you're loving the centralization of everything for your congregation :) Thanks for letting us know about your experience with creating your button images. Your feedback will help us as we make improvements to our product! Gary A. Preaching Minister Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great experience with Aware3" January 22, 2018 4.0 It connects people to the information we need them to have. Pros Very simple, easy to navigate and control but a powerful tool. We use it to connect people to the content we need them to have. Cons Little advanced control limits you a little. However, customer support is great and helping you accomplish what you are wanting. Review Source Jon M. Church Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "What we were needing" September 21, 2018 5.0 This has given us a platform to engage with congregation unlike anything we had tried before. Pros They offer the right range of options to engage our congregation. Cons At this point, we have not found anything that we don't like. Review Source Response from Aware3 October 12, 2018 Hi Jon, Glad to hear your member engagement experience has been awesome! We appreciate the great feedback! BS Brian S. Operations Director Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great at making your audience Aware." November 20, 2020 4.0 This was a great step for us to have our own app. Wthout Aware3 we would not have been able to afford to provide our guests with such great information. Pros With Aware3 i am able to keep all of our guests informed whether they are on campus or at home. It has so many options that we use it to show our customers every part of our business offerings from food to calendar to recreational options. Cons I would like this much more if everything was more WYSIWYG format. They have made many improvements over time but still feel like DOS in some places. Review Source DD Daniel D. Creative Communications Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great church app that's priced well for the features." January 16, 2018 5.0 Great functionality at a solid price point for our needs. Pros The app they gave us is easy to update, looks good, and does everything we need it to. Their video, rss feed, form, and calendar options all integrate nicely with our systems, and anything that doesn't have a direct integration, you can link to your website seamlessly. It's great. Cons Would appreciate some different or more flexible visual options. The current look works for us, and I feel we've done well with it, but I feel it could look better. Review Source SC Scott C. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aware3 Experience" June 4, 2019 4.0 The software gives us an app presence which is important. Pros The look of the software in terms of seeming tailored to our organization is good. Cons Changes have been made to the software that changed its functionality for our organization dramatically, and set us back over a month to recover what we had been able to do previously. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 17, 2019 Hi Scott - Thanks for taking time to leave your feedback about your experience. We'd love to hear more about the changes you mention in your review. Be on the lookout for a note from our team! Thanks again. RH Robert H. IT Specialist Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall it's great solution." January 16, 2018 4.0 It's a low maintenance mobile presence. It makes it easy to provide a mobile solution to churches that otherwise wouldn't have one. We have a higher engagement level due to the integration with our ChMS. The customer service is very responsive. Pros The base app is very affordable. It's integrated with our church management system (Church Community Builder), which allows us to have a greater level of engagement. The features are easy to use and understand. I like that Aware3 continues to add feature and functionality to the app. It requires very little management and oversight once you get everything setup. Cons My biggest complaint is the pricing structure. I really don't like that some feature cost extra to get. I feel like if you pay monthly for the app, any update/upgrades should be included. As an admin, I also wish that I was able to add more feature tiles myself. The process of getting feature tiles added to our portal is a little clunky. Also, our geo-targeted push notifications don't work. They did 1 time, and have failed multiple times. Review Source JF Jennifer F. Admin Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aware " May 31, 2019 5.0 Pros I love how you present your ideas and they make it happen visually! Also, I like that we have the option to design the app user interface to our liking Cons Sometimes having to go through support to make what seems like minor changes happen Review Source Response from Aware3 June 13, 2019 Jennifer, We appreciate your feedback. We are pleased to hear that your ideas are coming to life just as you planned! If there is ever a time you run into an issue, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our Customer Success team is here to help and always available even for those minor changes! SS Sean S. Priest Missioner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Process and Team. App works fantastic for our community." January 19, 2018 4.0 Pros I like the ease of use and maintenance. I am not super technical, and feel very comfortable changing things. I like that the updates happen quickly. I like the wide variety of different access buttons, and the ability to send push notifications in a variety of different ways. Cons That you have to use their financial software to access the text messaging. We are locked into contract with someone else and it is working well, and we would love that feature. I also, wish that I could add or subtract buttons based on my need, and not have to access a customer service rep to change my available buttons. Sometimes I need more one time link buttons. Review Source AE Andrew E. pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Church" May 31, 2019 4.0 Pros The software is easy to use and gets good tracking with our members Cons Not fully familiar with all the services Review Source Response from Aware3 June 13, 2019 Andrew, Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are happy to hear that our software has been such a great resource for Bethany Church and its members. Aware3 offers a wide range of features and services for its customers. Our Customer Success team would love to hop on the phone with you sometime and walk you through everything we offer. You can schedule a call by emailing support@aware3.com. We look forward to hearing from you! FB Freddie B. Founding Paster Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not satisfied" May 31, 2019 4.0 It was good until the whole Apple mess started. Pros Interfaced with Church Community Builder Cons This whole issue of having customers have to have an apple developer account is unacceptable. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 13, 2019 Hi Freddie, Apple's changes have certainly thrown everyone for a loop. Unfortunately, an Apple Developer Account is now required for all of our clients, along with every other app provider. The good news is that this is a one-time process, and our team will handle everything from here! Someone from our team will reach out to you to walk you through the process. Karen S. President Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Aware3 was easy to implement and has been an excellent addition to our communication channels." January 19, 2018 5.0 The software helps us to stay connected to our members and improve attendance at our events. Pros Very easy to use and self-manage, but when support is needed, the team is extremely responsive and knowledgeable. They are constantly updating and enhancing features that are relevant and support our objectives. We cannot say enough about the incredible service we receive. Cons The only thing we'd love to see that is not available today is an embedded click to call and a different way to add our podcast feed. We currently use a Soundcloud workaround to solve both issues but it is not ideal. Review Source DS Duane S. Business Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ECC Review" September 4, 2019 4.0 We are saving money by leveraging capabilities of the app along with using Planning Center for Scheduling and our member database. Pros Cost is very reasonable and customer support has been super. Cons We need more reporting capability out of the giving part of the app. I would like to create a report and have it saved to run again. I don't like having to do the same steps every week to get the data we need. Even better would be to have the ability to schedule a report to run automatically. Reason for choosing Aware3 Cost and Functionality Review Source Response from Aware3 September 18, 2019 Thanks, Duane! So glad to hear you're able to save money by leveraging the app. We appreciate your feedback. CS Carol S. Office Manager Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Essential resource that's user-friendly" June 3, 2019 4.0 We have been pleased with Aware3 overall. It has allowed our minimally-staffed organization to provide better options for those we serve to fill out forms and make payments electronically. Pros The thing I like most about this software is that it is easy to create and update forms. Cons I wish the form had more functionality for images within their forms without being an html wizard. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 17, 2019 Carol, We appreciate your feedback and are pleased to hear that our form and payment features are turning out to be a great resource for Crosswinds Church. If there is ever a time you need assistance building or creating a form, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our Customer Success team can be reached anytime at support@aware3.com. Dany H. Pastor Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We've had a great experience with Aware3" January 17, 2018 4.0 Pros It's pretty easy to manage. We love the notifications and the Sermon Notes are used weekly. We also like that you have some flexibility to change the look and feel of the app with different buttons and icons if so desired. The Aware3 is also really responsive to user needs. Cons I wish that the sermon notes would automatically transfer to the Feature Hub. It's a small thing but sometimes I forget to do it in both. This is also the same with our Announcements. Wold be nice to have a bit of better integration with CCB as far as forms and profiles Review Source JH Jackie H. Executive Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aware3 is Awesome" September 12, 2019 5.0 I appreciate their integrity in communicating important items with me. Pros Honestly, it's the customer service. They have an amazing support team who are not only prompt, they're very courteous, professional, and knowledgeable! Cons I can honestly say I can't think of anything. Reason for choosing Aware3 The price and customer support Review Source Response from Aware3 September 18, 2019 Thank you, Jackie! We are happy to hear you enjoy working with our Customer Success Team. We look forward to continuing to work with Bakersfield First Assembly for years to come! VR Verified Reviewer Manager of Culture Development Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Limited features, restrictive template, good for giving, but additional features are disappointing" January 19, 2018 3.0 Pros The giving feature, text-to-give feature, and having a database of those who give are helpful features. Cons Limited features make it so you have to fit what you already do into the template of the app, instead of the app fitting into and supporting what the church does. Also, the forms are very hard to use, and when someone submits a form, the way the information is accessed is very difficult. Review Source Response from Aware3 July 2, 2018 Appreciate the feedback! We're always adding new features, and we'd love to hear some more specifics on what you're looking for. Feel free to reach out to us at support@aware3.com. PW Patrick W. Associate Pastor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product" June 1, 2019 5.0 It has been a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Aware3 to anyone. Pros The ease of use for user and administrator. It is highly customizable and the customer support is amazing. Cons I don't have anything that I didn't like about the software. Alternatives considered [Planning Center](https://www.capterra.com/p/76708/Planning-Center/)[Tithe.ly](https://www.capterra.com/p/154664/Tithe-ly-Church-Giving/) Reason for choosing Aware3 Price and ease of use. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 13, 2019 Thanks for the review, Patrick! We're delighted to hear that you're finding the software so easy to navigate and implement within Glad Tidings Church. VR Verified Reviewer Senior Pastor Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I've enjoyed the ability to communicate consistently" January 22, 2018 5.0 Pros I like text to swerve feature. It helps us send specific information to our congregation. I think the more we could interact with our church the better it would be for us. The CCB interface works well it just would be better if people could check in through the app too. Cons I think the look could be better. To intergrate graphics easier so that we can upload flyers and such. We need to be more flexible in promoting things within the app. The look of the app has to be more interactive from a design point of view. Review Source JS John S. Deacon Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aware3 Helped Our Church Launch" May 28, 2019 5.0 3 years ago we planted a church in downtown San Diego, Aware3 was helpful with staying in touch with our members and regular attendees. Since we are using Aware3's "Give" platform, it has been seamless to download all transactions into our accounting software. The overall pricing for the software fit our budget; at the time, we were a new church, and Aware3 provided us a way to have an App. The app also allowed our congregation to stay informed of Community Groups and our weekly sermons. Pros We like the following: Give, Groups and pushing out our weekly sermons. Cons The hardest part was just getting started - our problem, not Aware3. As a small church, we relied on our volunteers to set up the app, It was a little rough with them navigating through the initial setup. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 6, 2019 We love hearing about the ways your app helped grow your church, John! Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. MSP Mollie Sue P. Office Admin Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good App for Our Church" May 31, 2019 4.0 Pros We have overall enjoyed our experience with Aware3. Our attenders at church love being able to bring up message notes during the service, sign up for things happening, give, and a lot more all at their fingertips. Cons We wish updates would happen more frequently. We like that Aware3 is always striving for more and better things with the app! But we wish it could do a little bit more/be more integrated with CCB. Also wish we could choose specific dates to give, not just bi-weekly. ;) Review Source Response from Aware3 June 13, 2019 Mollie, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us. We are pleased to hear that our app has been such a great resource for Ignite Church and its attendees during church service. Our team is constantly improving our functionality and adding enhancements. We will be sure to take your feedback and add it to our idea board! NB Norm B. Lead Pastor Used the software for: 2+ years ### "simple but not integrative " January 16, 2018 2.0 Pros The app was for the most part easy to use. It was easy to upload notes for people to see in regard to a weekly message. I liked that I could see the givers on a rolling list. I liked the dash board Cons It doesn't work with CCB webware...the notes area was not very intuitive. If you put a number in there in an outline form it would not do a continuous numbering order. So I had to put parenthesis around numbers to get it to work...very annoying Review Source Response from Aware3 January 18, 2018 Hi Norm! We always appreciate candid feedback from partners. To make sure you¿re getting the most out of your Mobile App, I do want to clarify we have API (https://support.aware3.com/hc/en-us/articles/200244539-Church-Community-Builder-API-Services) integrations with Church Community Builder. This includes direct communication through Profile Sync, forms, giving, and small groups. We¿re also able to bring in your events as well as help with child check-in. Would love to talk more about these features, those not being used, and how to get the most out of your church app. Please drop us a note and our team will further assist. Similar Products Featured
