Office manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Change in payment" July 11, 2024 3.0 Pros Lay put and set up that is all i want to say Cons When they changed to we pay, there was a lot of very personal information required and then they needes extra bamnk information and tax forms. We just switched payroll compnies and they didnt require this much informatiion. If it wa my decision, we would totally drop Flocknote, but although my Pastor isn't happy about this invasive inquiry, he doesn't want to make a change at this time. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Review Source Response from Flocknote August 20, 2024 Hi Cheryl, thank you for sharing this feedback and for voicing your trouble with the verification process and requirements for online payments during our recent transition.

LB Laura B. student Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Active Flocknote user" June 14, 2022 5.0 I have used Flocknote for years. I am a volunteer for a church organization and this church uses flocknote for the entire community. Pros I like that Flocknote acts like a regular messaging system that send notifications to those who are signed up. Cons Sometimes there are bugs in flocknote but they are usually resolved quickly. Review Source Response from Flocknote June 20, 2022 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this positive review, Laura! We are so glad to hear that you find Flocknote easy to use! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything at all. :) EC Eva C. Office Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mass Communication at your Finger Tips" July 22, 2021 5.0 Flocknote fixed our Mass communication issues. We didn't need to rely on our church bulletins to disseminate the information since it was only published weekly. We were able to send reminders out for events. Pros Accessibility and user-friendly for Mass communication distribution. Cons There was an additional charge to send texts longer than 160 characters. Reason for choosing Flocknote It's a Catholic Christian company and their product is specifically Catholic needs-driven. Review Source Response from Flocknote July 23, 2021 Hi Eva, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this positive review! We are so happy to hear that using Flocknote has helped solve your mass communication issues. :) Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything at all, we are happy to help! MQ Matthew Q. Secretary/Reception Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Friendly Church Tracker" June 15, 2022 5.0 I have had very good success setting up special collection reminders. Problems that I've had were inserting my payment links into the message. But other than that, Flocknote is very streamlined and works well for important updates. Pros Today's churches have so many activities going on that making phone calls is not a reasonable or easy task anymore. With the use of Flocknote, church members can get very important updates to help them plan around events. This was very critical during the COVID-19 pandemic when people where getting sick and church policies were changing rapidly regarding the pandemic. Cons It seems that if anyone makes a tiny or minute change, the whole group needs to know. This is kind of annoying and intrudes on privacy envelope a little. Review Source Response from Flocknote June 21, 2022 Hi Matthew, thank you so much for leaving this awesome review and helpful feedback! We are so glad to hear that Flocknote has helped make communication at your church a breeze! Please keep up the great work! God bless. :) SS Shana S. Administrative Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flocknote Values Parish Communications" February 14, 2019 5.0 While my cons would be helpful for some instances, the 99% of what we do/need from Flocknote is exceptional. And what makes it even better for me as the office admin, is that if I have a question (office hours or not), I get a response typically within a 12 to 24-hr period. This enables me to continue with my tasks/responsibilities (and not forget that I even asked a question...which in a busy parish and me now being a "senior citizen"...I have those peak days where it's like, "Did I do that or just think about doing it?" Don't laugh...much like reading glass in that 45-50 age range, it's real. I thought it was just a joke when I was in my 20s - 30s. Nope, Nope it isn't. Flocknote's Team never makes me think I'm too behind the times to utilize their software. AND...our 60+ parishioners who actually allow their phones to receive texts...LOVE the reminders! The only complaints we receive of "Stop" and "Take me off your list" is because someone changed their number without telling us and a non-parishioner ends up with it. I know, cuz I ask before I remove them. :) Pros Ease of use, flexibility on delivery, ability to schedule in advance (especially for holidays/holy days), ability to reuse/edit earlier communications, link a "note" to a website or larger page for those wishing more detail. Cons Not able to access symbols from a drop down...can't bold or italicize text for emphasis in "text" note. Can't cut/paste "responses" from "note reply". Review Source Response from Flocknote March 4, 2019 Hi Shana! First of all, thank you for the honest and thorough review! I'm really happy to hear that you always feel comfortable coming to us Happiness Engineers for help even if you don't feel tech-savvy-- it's our pleasure to help you in any way we can. :) You've raised some good points with the features you wish we had so I will pass this on to our developers. I appreciate the time you took to fill this review out! May God bless you! JK Jon K. Director of Religious Ed Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best communication tool out there" September 3, 2019 5.0 Unolytics are a game changer. We can check and re-check which information is being sent out, and when needed confirm that messages were received by specific users. It's a huge weight off my shoulders to have such a great tool at my fingertips. Pros Flocknote is easy to use and puts us in direct contact with our constituents. Unolytics are a game changer. We can check and re-check which information was sent out, and when needed confirm that a message was received by specific users. It's a huge weight off my shoulders to have such a great tool at my fingertips. Cons I see that Flocknote is growing to incorporate other functions, such as finance tracking and people management. As it grows to accommodate more and more Catholic Church functionality, such as sacrament tracking and communication updates between baptismal/First Communion/Confirmation parishes, we will be all in. Reason for choosing Flocknote It's the best thing out there. Review Source Response from Flocknote September 5, 2019 Wowza -- thanks for this stellar review, Jon! It makes us happy to know that you're happy, so we hope we continue to wow you so that you guys are "all in". God bless! MM Mike M. Director of Facilities & IT Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love the tool...exceptional tech support" February 18, 2019 5.0 Selective communication is what it's all about. We can send out specific messages to specific groups of people. Blast-o-grams to everyone, if done too often, just alienate people and they stop reading. Pros Easy to use. Can train parishioners on how to use this tool to manage their groups/ministries. Love the fact that we can segregate into individual groups/ministries so we only send messages that apply to THOSE people. We don't end up doing a blast-o-gram to everyone even if the topic doesn't apply to them. The tech support team is top-notch. VERY responsive, VERY helpful and they stick with you to resolve your issue. Cons Super-admins should be able to reset individual's passwords AND set a new password. Many times, I have the parishioner sitting in my office asking for help and all I can say is "I will reset your password, but you have to go home, check your email, and enter a new password." Super-admins should be able to do this. Review Source Response from Flocknote February 20, 2019 Hi Mike, we're so thankful you took the time to leave a review. We're glad you've enjoyed sending messages to individual people, small groups, or mass blasts when needed. Generally people are very private about their passwords and do not want them changed by anyone other than themselves, so we want them to have that security with Flocknote. I'm sorry about that, but thank you for letting us know that is something you're wanting. We appreciate any and all feedback! Blessings to you, Mike! :) VR Verified Reviewer Intern Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Communication Within the Flock" July 17, 2019 5.0 Overall I am very satisfied with Flocknote. The group that uses it numbers over 75 now, so we use the paid option, and it's worth every penny for the increased and streamlined communication. Pros Flocknote is a messaging app that allows you to connect with people in your church more easily. Since signing our ward up for the software, communication has become a breeze. There are people in my church I didn't even think to reach out to, but because we're all on the same system, I can find their contact info and let them know what's happening. It's made my life as a visiting teacher much easier. Cons My one gripe (if you could call it that) is a lack of integrated Bitmoji software. A lot of the kids in my church (and their moms) use Bitmoji in regular text conversations, so it'd be great to have that option built into the app. Other than that, it's great! Review Source Response from Flocknote July 18, 2019 Thanks for this fantastic review! Haha I'm a Bitmoji fan myself, so I've passed this info along to the team. Thanks for coming to us with your honest feedback and ideas. Feel free to reach out to us at help@flocknote.com if you have any others. :) LM Lori M. Front office admin. Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New to Flocknote" May 22, 2019 4.0 Very good. The program is user-friendly once you learn the ins and outs of it. Pros What I like most is the ability to text members, add color, graphics, surveys, and invitations with RSVPs to emails and texts. I like that the replies come to my Gmail inbox. Unlike other companies, the customer service is EXCELLENT! This is huge for me as my learning curve is straight up and down until I become familiar with the new system. I love the training videos along with the written directions as opposed to having to read all the directions. I learn best by being shown how to do something. I like how you can make groups so members get information only applicable to their group and not non-applicable information. One of the main reasons we switched over is because it provides the option to Unsubscribe. They provide scripts for Signup Sunday. I like the way our members can Unsubscribe at any time, they don't have to download anything or create a password, and they choose the groups they belong to. Cons Sometimes it's difficult to find the answer to my questions through the HELP menu. But, as I said, the Happiness Engineers have been there for me via email and or a scheduled conference call within 24 hours. It's intuitive only after training and having had some glitches in the system it caused me to question many things. Review Source Response from Flocknote May 23, 2019 Hi Lori! We are thrilled you have been having a great experience working with the Happiness Engineers. You mentioned you enjoyed the videos alongside the written instructions; it's nice to hear this feedback. I'm a visual learner myself, so I can definitely understand that! If you think of any ways we can make Flocknote more intuitive in general, please let us know because your thoughts directly affect how we build the site. God bless you, Lori! :) TC Thomas C. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Valuable Communication Tool" January 7, 2021 5.0 My overall Flocknote experience has been incredibly positive. We originally purchased Flocknote to have a reliable system for church cancellations and special announcements, but have since discovered so many more uses for it, such as a prayer chain, Scripture devotion group, communication groups for all our church boards, etc. Also, Flocknote’s customer service is crazy fast at responding to my questions and always has the answers! Pros The messages are very easy to create, schedule, and send. It’s great that you can have as many groups as you need and send an unlimited amount of messages for one flat rate, so you never have to worry about going over a limit. I also like that you can give admin rights to people to create messages for certain groups without having them become a “super admin.” Cons I schedule several daily messages to be sent out at the same time every day, so it would be nice to be able to set a default time instead of having to type in the specific time each time I schedule a note. Also, the standard 160 character limit on text messages can be a bit short sometimes, but it also helps me stay concise! Review Source Response from Flocknote January 13, 2021 Thanks so much for this review, Thomas! I'll let the team know that you would love to see an easier way to set the "default" scheduling time. As for your issue with text character limits, I encourage you to visit Flocknote.com/Supertexting to learn how to send longer texts! If you have any other questions, we're here and happy to help. :) KB Kelly B. Office Manager Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "St. Jerome Catholic Church" July 17, 2019 5.0 The parishioners I have signed up for Flocknote really like it, and I have more thinking they will start using it for their ministry as well. Our experience, at St. Jerome Catholic Church is just outstanding. Pros I love that it goes out to everyone or individually and when they respond to my message I am the only one who gets pinged. No annoyance for all the other recipients! I also love how different ministries can be set up exclusively and if others want to join that group they may. Parishioners aren't being forced to receive something on their phone or in their inbox if don't want. It is easy to learn and use, but if you do have questions or need help, the team is extremely wonderful about responding to your needs. There is so much . . . I could keep going! Love the library! Cons When I choose to send email, my character count is limited. So then I need to send email only because some reminders are lengthy. I chose text because I want to make sure everyone sees it right away! Reason for choosing Flocknote Flocknote came highly recommended from a nearby parish, St. Paul's. Review Source Response from Flocknote July 20, 2019 Hi Kelly, you've just made our day with these kind words! The greatest blessing for us is when we hear how Flocknote has been helpful for our customers, so thank you for sharing. I do want to point out that there is not a character limit for email -- I think that may have been a typo and you meant "text". If so, yes you are correct that there is a 160 character limit for texts. This is because when texts are too long, some cell carriers break them up into two texts and it causes confusion for recipients. Also, the great thing about texting is that they are usually short and sweet and to the point, which people tend to enjoy. However, I'll pass on your feedback to the team - we really appreciate it! :) Brian N. Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Group messaging is easy" April 30, 2019 5.0 I am pretty happy with this web service, especially regarding the low service charge. Pros It is very easy to manage different groups of contacts for different purposes. I can easily email or send text messages to different groups. Text messages can be scheduled for sending later. The monthly service fee is affordable for limited budget organizations. Cons Only 160 characters are allowed per message. It has an issue with typing different languages. I have to type in MS Word then cut and paste to FlockNote message editor. It does not support voice messages. Review Source Response from Flocknote May 5, 2019 Well hello there, Brian! Thank you for taking a few minutes to leave us a great review. We do our best to keep costs down for our members so I'm glad you have found the service affordable on a limited budget. I also wanted to clarify that we actually do offer the ability for voice/phone calls with Flocknote. If you'd like to learn more, I encourage you to check out this link: tinyurl.com/flocknotephonecalls God bless! :) AB Alexander B. Deacon Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Communications Tool" December 17, 2019 5.0 Great way to communicate with our flock! We wish we could get everyone in the parish to use it immediately, but that will take a lot of time. We love the experience and it has put us more in touch with many of our parishioners! Pros Extremely easy to implement and administer! Parishioners have found it very easy to signup and utilize. They love getting up-to-date information about events and activities at the parish. Having the ability to implement different groups for the various parish organizations is awesome for communicating directly with target ministries. Cons It would be nice to have a larger character limit for text messages. Reason for choosing Flocknote We were not using an alternative software product. Review Source Response from Flocknote December 20, 2019 Woohoo -- thanks for leaving us a review, Alexander. We appreciate it so much! I do want to clarify why there is a 160 character limit on texts. The primary reason is so that we can ensure that every cell carrier delivers each text as one single message. Beyond 160, some carriers will cut off extra characters into a second text, which would, for example, break any links that you included or just generally cause confusion. What you can do is send multiple text messages and put footnotes (1/3, 2/3, 3/3) at the end of your text so that members know that there are multiple parts to your text. I hope this is helpful info but if you have any other questions or suggestions, just shoot us an email to help@flocknote.com. ;) KF Kirk F. Designer Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great app for churches!" August 29, 2019 4.0 Flocknote has helped our church communicate in a more efficient way. Making it easier for multiple note senders has been a blessing. Pros I like its​ ease of use and reliable. The fact that was built for churches and has features that churches need. I like how easy it is to manage groups and multiple note senders. The subscription price is well worth it. Cons Just a few things that I'd like to see improvement on. 1. I'd like to have the option to make it ​​ default or a setting to always include all recipients whether or not they only receive text/emails. In other words, when I send a text, I want it to always include the email only people. Right now, you have to check a box to include them. 2. I'd like to be able to choose having notes sent to both email and text at the same time – not just one of the other. Review Source Response from Flocknote August 30, 2019 Hi Kirk, thanks for this review! I'm glad you've been enjoying Flocknote so far. You mentioned you wished the default setting was changed for delivery to both text and email and I wanted to clarify this a bit. We had seen it before where admins were working late at night and sent out an email and it went out as a text as well accidentally. For this reason, we wanted to make sure the option to send a text in addition to sending an email (and vice versa like what you described) was completely intentional and opted into with that little checkbox. I hope this is helpful, but if you'd like to discuss this some more, feel free to send us an email to help@flocknote.com and we'll be happy to chat! :) LP Lori P. Pastoral Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Keeping parishioners in the loop has never been easier" February 26, 2019 5.0 We would heartily recommend Flocknote to other parishes as an easy solution for effectively communicating with parishioners through the digital medium. Pros Flocknote is a great tool for getting the word out about parish liturgies and events. Bad weather? Let your parishioners know with a few simple steps. Parish meeting? Remind attendees of the time and place. Interested in knowing if parishioners are coming to an event? Send out a simple survey to which they can easily respond. Flocknote has made communicating with our parishioners very easy and amidst busy parish life, easy is good! And, if even if you aren't the most tech savvy person, fear not, for the Flocknote Happiness Engineers (support staff) are easy to get in touch with and respond quickly with easy solutions. Cons There is a small learning curve in order to familiarize yourself with all that Flocknote can do, but if you spend a little time on it each week, you'll feel like a pro in no time. Review Source Response from Flocknote March 4, 2019 Hi Lori -- wow what a glowing review! It was so kind of you to take some time amidst busy parish life to leave some sweet words for us at Flocknote! We appreciate you and it's our pleasure to serve you so that you can do the real important work in your ministry. God bless! :) JV Jerry V. Director of Faith Formation Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent Communication Tool" October 2, 2019 5.0 Increasing effective communication with less people being "left out" - and more people being "in the know" to the latest events, news, and other info. Pros This software is a robust communication tool with an easy interface; excellent tools, great organization, effective tutorials, and superior customer service Cons Perhaps be able to replicate emails as texts and vice versa. . . Be able to mass email/text those who have not "read" the messages (perhaps it can already do that - not sure?). . . Reason for choosing Flocknote I've used Flocknote in another parish and was impressed by its ease of use and effectiveness; I recommended it based on my use in the past and its amazing functionality, organization, and customer service; it's the best out there- truly the best! It's far easier than other products and much more user-friendly - especially dealing with a large parish like we have here at Incarnation. Parishsoft has a potential tool similar to Flocknote, but it's still in the experimental stage and far more expensive. The cost of Flocknote is a bargain for what you get; again the best of its type currently on the market. Review Source Response from Flocknote October 9, 2019 Hi Jerry - thanks for taking time out of your day to leave us this positive review! You mentioned that you would like to replicate emails as texts and vice versa and I may be able to clarify some things and have a workaround for ya. You can email us at help@flocknote.com and we'd be happy to help. ;) TB Tamara B. Texas Baptist Missionary Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best way to connect! " June 1, 2019 5.0 TTJ makes communicating with everyone involved easy. I LOVE being able to schedule texts & push everyone toward more information on my webpage. Easy to use & affordable! Pros In a ministry to college students I was looking for the BEST way to connect with students, who text ALL THE TIME. With TTJ I can communicate to everyone involved in seconds, schedule weekly texts, push everyone toward more information on my webpage, as well as give students the ease of TTJ - something they are very used to. Flocknote is easy & affordable! I'm a BIG fan of UNO & Flocknote! Cons 1) I wish I could see a list of individuals who do not engage with my texts. Either individuals who "turn off" all texts & emails (ie: those who do not wish to be rude and ask to STOP). Of if I'd get a notification if someone turns everything "off" - So I can remove them. 2) I would be helpful if individuals were forced to add @ LEAST their first name when they TTJ. (It is helpful to see the date that they join). Review Source Response from Flocknote June 13, 2019 Hey Tamara! Wow - what a review! Thanks so much for taking a few minutes to provide us some feedback; we love hearing this! We are actually working on new features to address members who have opted out of notifications so I encourage you to stay tuned! If you think of any more suggestions, please send us an email at help@flocknote.com. God bless you, Tamara. :) DM Damaris M. Admin Secretary Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for churches" January 11, 2021 4.0 Overall, it has been a great experience, I cant imagine doing ministry without it Pros The features for setting up groups, scheduling emails and text messages has made keeping regular, two-way communication easier for our ministry Cons I wish you could improve the color selector, I have found a way to get the colors I want, but it but it is a 3 step process. A larger color wheel would be nice and a color picker (like the eye dropper in publisher) would be so helpful especially since I like to color coordinate my emails Review Source Response from Flocknote February 3, 2021 Thanks for leaving a review and providing this feedback, Damaris! Your thoughts on the color wheel and formatting have been shared with the team as we update the site. In the meantime, I recommend utilizing color hex codes to get exact color matches. :) SC Steven C. President Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Notes to the FLOCK using Flocknote" April 18, 2021 5.0 Flocknote has made it very easy to communicate with small groups, large groups and individuals. Pros We use Flocknote to e-mail information to our congregation. It works really well due to the ability to separate what goes out to certain groups. Our Bible Fellowship Groups use it to e-mail their members. We are able to duplicate e-mails and schedule these e-mails to be sent in the future. It is easy to compose the e-mails and the instructions and hints that you are given as you compose the e-mails make it very easy to do. Cons I am not sure what I like least - there is just so much to like that anything that I can think of just gets cancelled out. Review Source Response from Flocknote April 27, 2021 Thanks so much for sharing these kind words, Steven! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. If you ever have any questions, suggestions, or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our Happiness Engineers at help@flocknote.com. :) God bless you!

We're getting used to the new system. It's missing a LOT of what we had on the City: primarily Pros We love the way you can connect to be where they are: in their email inbox and via text messages. We find folks SEEING what we're putting out there. Cons We would LOVE the ability for more interaction and "bottom up" communication. This is great for "mass com" but not as great for interaction. I do understand that that's not how Flocknote was built and that as a church we are an outlier. We are sojourners with no home, like sheep without a pasture online, so to say. Review Source Response from Flocknote February 7, 2019 Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to express your thoughts about Flocknote! It's great to see that you've found that your messages are now actually reaching your people because they're already on their phones looking at texts and emails -- that's great news! Thank you for also letting us know you'd like more ways for your members to send 'bottom up' messages. If you have any other suggestions, send them our way at help@flocknote.com. God bless! :) NS Norely S. Youth Minister Individual & Family Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great starting point to better communication" September 25, 2018 4.0 The ease of communication and response without having to download an app is key. There is still room to grow but I look forward to seeing it happen. Pros Ease of use (as easy as sending a text), quick readability(they even have a nice preview before you hit send), easy individual response(the parishioners simply respond to the text with another text that only the admins receive), and grouping options, it expedites communication to be able to place people in several sub groups and be able to communicate just as easily with individuals as with groups. Parents appreciate the ease of a quick text with out having to download yet another app, and it's nice to see who is opening messages and communicating too. Cons This is a great program, it just still has room to grow. I find that I am in need of a community calendar where people can see all upcoming events; a notification system for actions that need to be taken ie: if a message got a response, if you have a new user that wants to join a group (being the super admin it can be a lot of threads to check); to be able to send or post an image (I do understand that ups the data usage significantly); and this could be user ignorance, but I would like for there to be a way to link families, multiple children with/under their parents account. Review Source Response from Flocknote September 27, 2018 Hi Norely! Thanks so much for your positive review :-) I just wanted to follow up and confirm you are correct, there is no way to link families together at this time, but that's something we're actively trying to solve behind the scenes, so stay tuned! KT KATRINA T. Director of Catechetical Ministries Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pretty Simple" March 25, 2019 5.0 So far So good Pros The best thing about this platform is texting the parishioners without having to use my personal cell phone. Plus it's easy to use and you don't have to have an I.T team Cons When I import a contact list or approve a request it does not check for duplicate contacts . Review Source Response from Flocknote April 1, 2019 Hi Katrina, thanks for the helpful review! I'm glad you enjoy our built-in privacy settings which allow you to text without giving out your personal cell number! I understand you've been having issues with duplicate contacts and we have some handy tricks to help keep your lists clean. Would you mind reaching out to us at help@flocknote.com?

Youth minister Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flocknote feature " January 9, 2021 5.0 Overall, when someone is looking for a text/email service, I always recommend Flocknote., it's pros definitely outweigh any issues. Pros Being able to contact large groups, and multiple groups at a time, as well as single people is invaluablee. Having the ability to see who has read the message is vitally important. Being able to use in conjunction with Lifeteen. Is a game changer. Cons Not being able to pick up the phone abs talk to someone about concerns is frustrating. I have also had several issues with payments being lost or not credited. Alternatives considered [Blackbaud eTapestry](https://www.capterra.com/p/29170/eTapestry/) Reason for choosing Flocknote Price. Flexibility, functions, word of mouth.

We'd love to chat with you and answer any questions you have at a time that works best for you! We look forward to hearing from you! :) RD Rebecca D. Student Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for parish updates!" April 4, 2018 5.0 Pros Flocknote helps send awesome, professional-looking emails out to all of the members of our church community. The formatting is great and helps us keep all of our updates organized, which is especially helpful since we host lots of events for student parishoners. Cons One thing I don't like is that replies to the emails can be seen my any general members of the community. I wish that there were a way to make replies private if needed. Review Source Response from Flocknote May 7, 2018 Hi Rebecca, We're over the moon to hear that you all are finding Flocknote helpful for sending updates to your church community! I have good news for you, there is a way for members to leave private replies so they aren't visible to non-admins. If someone replies directly to an email or text, the reply will be private by default and display with a padlock next to the replier's name. If they click the reply button within ther email to reply to the note online, there will be a checkbox in the text area they can click to mark the comment as private. Additionally you do have the option to turn off public replies when you are composing a note by selecting the Comments button and adjusting the settings found there. To see this in action, we have a great training video here: http://flocknote.com/training/comments-and-replies I hope this helps :) If you have any other questions, feel free to reach us anytime at help@flocknote.com God bless, Kaitlin R. Flocknote Happiness Engineer Sr. Brittany H. Chair of the Theology Department Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An Easy Way to Maintain Contact with Your "Flock"" April 18, 2019 5.0 Pros In looking for a text and/or email based communication platform, I tried many others. When a fellow ministry started using Flocknote, I was impressed with how effective it was and how easy to set up and use. The software grows with you, so if you have a ministry under 40 contacts, it is free to use, and the pricing above that is very reasonable. Cons I have not yet encountered anything I do not like about Flocknote. It offers exactly what I need for ministry promotion.
