Overall Satisfaction with The City

The church I belonged to used The City app for every member of the congregation. It provided all of us the ability to connect with other members, find and join groups, and keep track of events. It certainly made it easier to access church information, which can often prove challenging when joining a new church.
  • View volunteering opportunities
  • Find and join groups
  • Submit prayer requests and join others in prayer
  • Connect with other members
  • 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
  • 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.
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.
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.
