ParishSOFT vs. The City (Discontinued)

The system fits extremely well with our non-profit requirements and provides us the capability to report to our congregation their payments to the Church. The system is set up for recurring events and not one time events. This would not fit a for profit business very well.

The City would work well for a church who struggles to provide an easy way for members to connect and join groups. While the app has some drawbacks, as noted above, it beats allowing visitors and members to remain disconnected and in the dark about ways to involve themselves in church activities. Better to have this kind of ability to connect than none at all.

Incentivized

• View volunteering opportunities
• Find and join groups
• Submit prayer requests and join others in prayer
• Connect with other members

Incentivized

• Seems the developer no longer supports the app
• User interface is difficult to navigate
• Often forces a sign out, thereby requiring you to sign in again
• Cumbersome search features

Incentivized

We continue to be happy with ParishSOFT and see not need to analyze or fix what is not broken.

While I haven't used another social networking app built for churches, I have used an app built by another local church. The City makes connecting with members easier. The user experience is severely lacking in The City app. It does, however, facilitate connections between members.

Incentivized

• The City has made it easier to connect with people I met at church.
• It makes it simple to submit a prayer request and join others in prayer.
• It shows opportunities to get involved.
