It has made record keeping a breeze and takes no time at all. It has been perfect and the cost couldn't be more appealing in comparison to the big name (and uber complex) church management software systems out there. Pros I love the ease of use that Attendance Now affords and variety of features which allows me to keep track of our congregation. Attendance is simple to take as it only needs a few clicks. Adding families and visitors to our database is a snap. I love that it enables me to make customizable reports when I need to check in on individual attendance rates and repeat visitors. Cons I have not found anything that is a drawback at this point. Reasons for choosing Attendance Now None of them offered the kind of attendance tracking and reporting that Attendance Now does. While they offered lots of features, none of them were specifically geared towards "watching over the flock."
