### "Good Software"

February 17, 2020

5.0

I like the design (the look and feel of the app). Simplified communication with team members. Having everything relating to the congregation in one place removes the need for any other medium of communication like emails or Instant messaging apps.

Pros

I like the platform to connect with my congregants. The centralization of data makes it easy to access everything from announcements, teachings, song lyrics and playlists. Ability to create groups allows compartmentalization. Ability to “comment” or “like” posts. Ability to check in with a QR Code

Cons

There is some time delay between switching tabs. The overall “touch response“ of the app has some lag issues and takes a few seconds to load.

### "The church App I've come across "

February 17, 2020

4.0

eDisciples will help our church improve communication and engagement amongst members. It will definitely replace our church WhatsApp group. I really like the App and look forward to more exciting functions and capabilities.

Pros

I am able to push info to our members mobile device via a push notification, SMS or email. It's easy to navigate!

Cons

I struggled to create an event using the App as well as the web application. Via the App I was not able to sent a notification to the members but via the Web, it did not allow me to edit the time. When the end users view the event on the App, the date and time of the event is not visible. As a result I had to capture this info in the body content.

Reason for choosing eDisciples

Their pricing seems affordable and the product is easy to use.

Switched from

[WhatsApp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180345/WhatsApp/)

WhatsApp is ineffective. People dont always follow the house rules. Information is not read instantly as members either are not online, no data, etc. We also use MailChimp but will only use it now for special communication.

1.0

Very very bad

Pros

None none none none None none none none

Cons

I tried to sign up 2 years ago but was never able to log in so I canceled. Or so I thought I did. After 2 years they are still charging me and I cannot get a hold of anyone at this company.

### "Brilliant App"

May 26, 2020

4.0

My experience on the app has been great, like I mentioned to the founder that yes there is things that needs to be done and enhancements to be implemented but this app has the ability to take the churches by storm as it is affordable, easy and relevant.

Pros

I like the fact that it caters for both big and small churches, You can have a big church and find that his app is as useful as it is for a small church. I also like the fact that you can determine the level of permissions each user will have as that allow result in accountability from all your leaders.

Cons

I think they could've allowed the videos to be watched for free because I do feel that if the church spends the monthly fee and also pays for data to upload the content, why must the congregants also pay to watch the video that you produced and uploaded. If the video is on a youtube channel then yes, charge them but if its your own video then I don't believe the congregants should be charged data fees or if you charge them then make it less then the uploaded size atleast

### "Church functioning made easy"

June 14, 2020

4.0

This app will take our church to the next level of church management. What i also like was the behind the scene's service which is like instant directly having access to someone if you have a problem with anything relating to the app. You can add functions on the app for your church percific needs.

Pros

This software makes the operations of the church administration much easier. You'll have better control of managing your church members even the Church Service bookings of 50 members per service ushers now can print out the list of members who's attending what service.

Cons

It did not have the function for ushers to do attendance counts & who is your 1st time vistors. Salvation of souls that need to be recorded. It also does not have the function to make leaders responsible for follow up visitation's of 1st time visitors who would like a follow up visit & feedback form of vistation

Reason for choosing eDisciples

It is more affordable. The additional function which can be added to suit your church needs.

### "A must have. "

June 28, 2020

5.0

I can't complain about the program or the app. It has made my life easier. It took all my loose papers and different lists and combined them into one easy accessible solution. I can edit, my team can create or add or edit. No more excuses of the list got misplaced.

Pros

I mostly liked the simplicity of the program. You don't have to be a highly skilled computer whiz to use it and that was what I appreciated the most. I also loved the fact that one could import contacts instead of having to do each one from scratch. Having all information at hand has changed the way we communicate.

Cons

The fact that I had to unclick the invite member block really was my biggest nuisance. Why can't I load all members and then decide to invite them to download the app? I had to remember each time because the box was ticked by default.

Reason for choosing eDisciples

I didn't have to be a tech whiz to use and understand the program.

### "CHURCH APP"

June 8, 2020

4.0

Overall I am excited about this program because it is like walking around with all your churches registers in one hand and being able to change cell no while visiting with the member.

Pros

Pros – the price is right for our small church.

Cons

Cons -I live in a small town and there are about 15 churches. I am the only person using a church app and the others have asked me about it. The problem is that only one church is English – the rest of us are Afrikaans! If you could bring in Afrikaans I am sure others would also be interested!

Reason for choosing eDisciples

Really easy to use

Pros

Has everything you need to make CHURCH communication and planning easier! All three platforms are easy to use and gives you great access to information.

Cons

A Feature like In-App giving - which is extremely technical must come.

### "We love this App! I "

March 20, 2020

5.0

It’s great that we have an App designed specifically for the church in South Africa. We had some teething issues but the developers have always been helpful and efficient in resolving any hiccup.

Pros

I love that all communication can be centralized! We can finally do away with multiple WhatsApp groups. Great that messages can be pushed to our members mobile devices - quick communication! Easy to use.

Cons

Would love the dashboard to reflect only the date of the event and not the creation date which can cause some confusion. Also for past events to be removed from the dashboard as the date has passed.

Cons

Nothing at all no displeasure. There are no cons in the Management program.

### "eDisiples User Review"

February 17, 2020

5.0

From a user perspective the software is very user friendly. There is not too much unnecessary info that clutters the work-space. Great app and very easy to use

Pros

The ease of use between the menus. News and events menus was helpful and easy to access. That made it easy to stay up to date with what was happening in my organisation.

Cons

I think there could be more Menu Items to break down into smaller groups.

July 3, 2020

Great

Pros

eDisciples covers every aspect of member management which we were looking for. Instead of using WhatsApp and YouTube and SMS and Facebook and our website and Quicket to all the different things done we now only have one platform to manage. This is huge Very fast service if there is a problem which are really appreciated

Cons

The difficulties are more on my side. Tech skills not all that great but still was able to get things set up fairly quick

### "Review"

February 20, 2020

4.0

Pros

That all the different organizations were in one platform and that direct notification can be done as well as group broadcasts. Lyrics for new songs and playlists makes the worship teams job easy as to not have people have to use space on their mobile.

Cons

Very limited on the app still with regards to a few features which has been addressed and should be up and running sooner than later because of the great work ethic of the company and developers.
