Creative & Production Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We Love Aware3!" September 28, 2018 5.0 Customer service was great and our congregation love the app! And connecting with Planning avenger has been a huge advantage for our database. Pros Love the communication options and ease of building Cons Took some effort to work through the web portal to get the app look that we wanted. Review Source Response from Aware3 October 1, 2018 We really appreciate your feedback, David! Glad to hear your congregation is loving the app. MS McKenzie S. Office Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great and EASY app" May 28, 2019 5.0 Having an app that integrates with our data management software (CCB) and website has been a game changer for us. Pros It was so easy to set-up and it integrates with our payment systems and other software programs seamlessly. Cons Occasionally certain functions go down, however the customer service has been exceptional about helping us through those times. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 4, 2019 Hi McKenzie, Wow! This is music to our ears. Thanks so much for the nice review. Timothy P. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome experience with the whole process of implementation of the Aware3 system. " January 17, 2018 4.0 It allows us to get information out to the congregation easily. Pros The software was exactly what we need to achieve our goals. It was an easy setup and the Aware3 team walked us through the entire process. Cons The only con that I have is the outbound text option is ala carte which means it requires an additional fee. Review Source MB Matthew B. Executive Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aware3 provides one of our most valuable tools for interacting with our members and guests." January 16, 2018 4.0 Pros The variety of features, ease of management, and integration with our backend database make this an ideal tool for our congregation. I love being able to quickly integrate existing tools from our website and CCB installation into our mobile app without having to manage multiple setups and multiple data stores. The support team is also very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Cons I wish we could get updates more regularly - it is a bit frustrating to hear that a new feature was added that we could benefit from, but then have to wait 6 months for our next update. Review Source JD Jason D. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aware3 Review" June 10, 2019 4.0 Our overall experience with Aware3 has been great and has increased signup rates as well as online giving. Pros The app was easy to setup and is simple to make adjustments to. The backside interface is very intuitive. Integrated online giving through the app has been a game changer that many in our church make use of. Cons It would be helpful if the interface for inputting notes into the app had more built in functionality. Simple text formatting options would save time. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 17, 2019 Jason, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with aware3! We are thrilled to hear that our software has been such a great resource for Troy Church and its members, especially when it comes to Giving! We appreciate your feedback regarding the Sermon Notes functionality. We will be sure to mark this on our Ideas board. Thanks again! JS Jenny S. Director Communications Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product and Great People" May 31, 2019 5.0 The team at Aware3 are the best. They are proficient with the product and its capability. They are open to suggestions even if they cannot always implement them because they aren't necessarily high on the priority list. I love working with the team. They truly care. Pros Ease of use and the flexibility it offers to "make it our own". Cons As a user, the home screen is a little clunky on my iPad. If I am using my iPad in landscape, the app opens up as portrait and will not right itself. Even after moving my iPad around several times, it takes a while for it to catch on that I'm trying to use landscape mode. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 13, 2019 Wow, that is great to hear Jenny! We're delighted to hear that you're finding the software and our team so easy to work with. We're sorry to hear that you have ran into some mobility issues with your iPad. We can ensure you that our app is mobile friendly and has the ability to transition per device. If this is a recurring issue, we encourage you to reach out to us at support@aware3.com for additional investigating. Jason M. Global Innovation Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Support team is EPIC" September 21, 2018 5.0 It's a great way unify the church. Pros The team is so great to work with!!! They respond to any questions/problems immediately and usually get it resolved within a day. Cons They dropped support for BluePay CC processing. Review Source Response from Aware3 October 25, 2018 Hey Jason- We're blushing :-D Thanks for the nice comments! So glad to hear that the app is helping to unify your church - that's what we're all about! VR Verified Reviewer Connections Director Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We were slow getting started with the app but once we learned how to use and got started, we love it" January 22, 2018 5.0 We can get important and urgent info to users like weather issues. We can send reminders out if we have important events Pros To be honest I have a media director that I just tell what to post and when so I don't interact with the software at all. I don't hear any complaints from him or suggestions to find something else so that's a good thing Cons Android phones do not get the full message on their phones. It only displays 6 buttons at a time so if a user doesn't scroll they could miss something we offer. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Executive Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Data Management" June 7, 2019 5.0 good Pros customization and syncs with other tools Cons needs more of an icon library for novice admins Review Source Response from Aware3 June 10, 2019 Hi there! We have a fully loaded image library where you can find anything from icons to feature button images. We hope that you will browse our image library and find something to use the next time you update your graphics! Just search our helpdesk for "images." Thank you for your feedback! Mark O. Pastor Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I'm not a techie, but have been able to do everything needed to make our church app function well." January 16, 2018 5.0 More opportunity for engagement of parishioners. Pros Ease of use, able to even do tailor minimal coding for the notes feature. Looks really nice and accessible. Cons Not sure I have a least. Maybe some plug and play artwork or a template for cropping art to the appropriate sizes. Review Source SH Scott H. Connections Minister Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very impressive feature set, with a comparatively low cost (vs. the competition)" January 16, 2018 5.0 Pros It integrates pretty darn well with Church Community Builders, our church's CRM solution. The key for us is the ability to send notifications to mobile devices, which Aware3 delivers at a price much less than that of the competition. Cons If I were to complain about anything, it would be that some of the features (live polling, chat, and outbound text) seem to be priced higher than their value. But we just choose not to use those features. I hope Aware3 doesn't use that as a model going forward...that the newest developments will only be available at higher pay tiers (vs. being included in the existing subscription cost). The geo-targeted notifications are very hit-or-miss as well, although I understand that this may be more of a carrier problem than an Aware3 problem. Finally, as a bleeding-edge Android device user, it sometimes get the feeling that the Aware3 app is designed / tested with Apple devices in mind first. But they've been very responsive about responding to (and fixing) Android bugs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Pastor Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "From first seeing aware3 to implementation to roll out, they were 109% in our corner." January 16, 2018 4.0 Pros Ease of set up for our staff and ease of use for our clients. From start to finish there was good communication and tremendous support. We met all deadlines and the rollout was easy for our clients. We had over half of our congregation download the app during the first week. Cons Cost. It is worth it in this digital, phone-app day, but it is still somewhat expensive. We had to shift some things around in the budget, and all our staff chipped in from their respective areas. We made it work, and I'm glad we did. But it took some maneuvering to get everything going financially. Review Source JH Jon H. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall very please with Aware3" August 29, 2019 5.0 Pros This has been a great mobile platform to connect to our CHMS. Also like that development of new additions has been consistent to improve the platform. Like that we can have a central place to send our attenders and the flexibility of the system also allows to to connect to our website. Cons Most of the cons that we originally had have been addressed through development of the platform. Alternatives considered [Splash](https://www.capterra.com/p/143666/Splash/) Reason for choosing Aware3 pricing and connection to CHMS Review Source Response from Aware3 August 30, 2019 Hi Jon - Love hearing the ways that the app platform has helped you communicate and integrate your current processes! If you have any feedback about how we can improve further, please don't hesitate to send us a note at support@aware3.com. Thanks again! VR Verified Reviewer Energy Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall great product. Easy and powerful. " January 16, 2018 4.0 Gave us an app with little technical or programming knowledge. Otherwise, it would have take a long time before we got an app off the ground. Pros I only use the App portion of Aware 3, but find it easy to use to keep our app up to date. Simple and easy to use for adding sermon notes and integrating with our other backend applications. Cons In relation to the App, would like to be able to change graphics and feel of the app easier. Notes section could be easier for a volunteer to use. Also the ability to easily add new users (volunteers) to manage particular portions of the account would be nice. Review Source CH Carolyn H. Administrative Assistant Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Aware3: Best bang for your buck in app development" May 28, 2019 5.0 Pros 1\. Great customer service. From demos to a timely help ticketing system, they've got you covered and answer any and all questions. 2. Ease of design and use. Very easy to create the app you want and have access to their graphic designers with any hiccups. 3. Time from first contact to app in store. Through all the demos, creation, design, and availability in store is a reasonable and fast time frame. Cons My one con is more for Apple. Having to create an account in their apple developer program is a process and if you don't have all the necessary information to begin with it can make the process even longer and more complicated. It doesn't cost anything but this new program is necessary if you want an app in their store. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 4, 2019 Hey Carolyn, Thank you for the kind review! We're so happy to hear about the top three things you're loving about your app so far. We're all feeling the pain of Apple's new process, and we appreciate your hard working in getting your developer account up and running! :) Thanks again! Tyler H. Production Minister Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bait and Switch" January 16, 2018 2.0 Pros I liked the pitch. I loved the pitch. It answered so much of all of our needs as an organization and we were stoked to get involved with a company that saw our values. The rollout of our app was swift, which was nice. The communication on the front end was pretty good, I understand. Cons Unreliable. A lot of features weren't as easy to implement as they let us on to believe and when we had issues with those said features, we were upset to find we couldn't use them. Quality assurance was single-handedly discovered by our organization. If there were bugs, we were always first (somehow) to find them. After wrestling with the workflow for a couple months, we found out that we had signed on the dotted line with a company that promised us many things that they couldn't/wouldn't deliver. Review Source Response from Aware3 July 2, 2018 Hi Tyler - Appreciate the review. We're sorry our partnership didn't work out, but your feedback helps us as we continue to grow and improve. VR Verified Reviewer Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aware3 review" September 21, 2018 4.0 Pros I liked the pricing options and the willingness of staff to assist in the set up process. Cons The thing that I liked least was the setup to send out text notifications. Review Source Response from Aware3 October 12, 2018 Hi there! Thanks for the feedback! We are always happy to help out and make things as easy as possible :) Thomas C. Groups Director Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Aware3 is a solid template app that delivers well on the primary experience for the end user. " January 16, 2018 4.0 Pros The user experience in app is solid, reliable, and is easily brand-able from church to church. It looks and feels like our church, but we don't have to do any heavy lifting to make it work reliably! Also, FANTASTIC customer service. Incredibly responsive and friendly. Cons The administrative backend is challenging to work with, and is not as user friendly as the front-end user experience. Review Source KM Krissy M. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for "start-ups"" September 21, 2018 4.0 We have had a good experience with Aware3. The app runs seamlessly with never any tech issues. Pros If you're looking for an app that you can launch quickly and easily, then you must consider Aware3. High level of functionality, but simple to set up. Cons Being able to set up the push notifications so that the entire messaging can be seeing when people receive the notification on their phones. Review Source Response from Aware3 October 12, 2018 Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Krissy! We're happy that you're loving the simplicity and functionality of your app. Jay B. Retirement Planner Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Aware3 is ALMOST a wonderful experience. It just seems like they are a few simple features away" January 16, 2018 4.0 The giving portal is probably the most important, right? We're also still trying to figure out how to leverage other aspects of it. Pros It's a slick user interface to put in front of our congregation that makes us feel proud to put out there. Cons I find that some of even the most simple formatting things aren't available, for instance when creating a Campaign you can't have line breaks in your text. Excellence is found in the details. I would prefer a customer service number to all in emergencies or for quick questions sometimes, but I understand the email-only system. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Minister and Lead Communicator Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy, Customer friendly, and modern! " January 22, 2018 5.0 Pros The best part about the software is that it is easy to use. I have never designed app tech nor am I a coder. I am more technological than the average person, but their software makes it easy for simple drag and drop integration. Anyone can do it! Cons The worst part about the software is everything offered at one flat rate... there are tiers of availability depending on pricing. Review Source BE Brian E. Lead Pastor Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aware 3 does an awesome job keeping people connected to the life of our church!" January 16, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to use, great customer service, friendly back-end software. Aware 3 keeps adding additional features such as the sermon notes which are a great way to keep people connected to the church and growing in their faith. Cons We would always love more features - but there really aren't many negatives. Could the podcast interface be improved slightly with more functionality? Better iPad interface so the screen will rotate? Maybe more integration with CCB? Review Source JS Jasmia S. Administrative Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review for Aware3" September 28, 2018 4.0 Customer service is great. Experienced some minor glitches. Pretty easy to use over all. Pros The ease people have to give online and the integration with Church Community Builder. Cons The people profile section is unclean and disorganized. People just keep creating profiles that need merged. I experienced glitches with trying to merge profiles. Wish I could search transactions by fund. Wish the Campaign could have more than 1 fund linked to it. I especially would like Aware3 to be able to automatically count gifts given to a FUND that is linked to the Campaign to he total given amount (even if the giver did not choose "Campaign.") Review Source Response from Aware3 October 9, 2018 Hi Jasmia - thank you for the feedback! These are great suggestions and we'll pass them on to our team. Please reach out to us at support@aware3.com so we can troubleshoot the issues you're experiencing with merging profiles. We're here to help! CG Chris G. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Support Made it Happen" June 3, 2019 4.0 See above. They've been great to work with. Pros The features are good for the app and online giving tools. Very functional and customizable to exactly what we need. What makes this software worth the cost, however, is the fantastic support we've received. Having never done online giving before, their help in setup, launch, and updating has been awesome. Send an email...get an answer...it's that simple. Cons The graphical portion of setup was a bit intimidating. If I didn't have graphics experience I may have struggled more with the initial setup stage. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 17, 2019 Hi Chris, Wow, we're so happy to hear that our support team has made a difference and helped you have such a great experience. Be on the lookout for a follow-up survey about design - we'd love to get some more details about your feedback on this as we make some improvements. GL Germaine L. Executive Admin Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy" May 29, 2019 4.0 We use aware 3 for our church to help reach our congregation and to keep them abreast of upcoming events. Pros I liked that aware 3 was easy to use and fairly intuitive to learn. Cons I did not like the limited functionality and it's inability to integrate with Rock RMS a system that we use, which required a lot of double entry on admin staff. Review Source Response from Aware3 June 13, 2019 Germaine, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you are able to keep you congregation in the loop with your app. Similar Products Featured
