"Planning Center Check-Ins makes Tracking Attendance Easier"
What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins?

I love how easy it is to set up an event and track attendance for multiple events simultaneously. It also prints security tags to keep our minors safe. It is the only system that syncs with our whole data base to track attendance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins?

Planning Center Check-Ins has to be used in correlation with Planning Center People. This means you must purchase these two packages together. In addition, I do not like that the app only allows you to see the front side of Check-ins and not the backside which allows tracking and data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Attractive and Effective"
What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins?

PCO Check-ins is an intuitive and simple solution for checking in children for our worship gatherings at church. It is easy to train volunteers, and it is easy to equip parents with understanding for quick and easy return check-ins after a relatively simple first check-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins?

The scalability of the pricing structure is arbitrary and doesn't fit our church's size very well, but it's worth the slightly extra cost for ease-of-use and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It took us out of the stone age"
What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins?

It helps to check in so much faster than what we used to have. It also allows us to control attendance (due to COVID related restrictions, we can't have one child above the limit). Analytics help as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins?

We would like an option to assign kids to a single location and not allow them to change it (even though they may meet the requirements for another location… we have 4 rooms for same age kids and we want to have a single teacher to look after them and follow their learning process for a whole year).

We did solve the issue by using registrations, but that requires extra work from our side, and to pay another subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Check In saves the day"
What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins?

The ease of use of the Check-in system allows it to be used by the families rather than having a volunteer or employee stationed at the check-in location. Also, you can be mobile with the system as long as you can print the labels. And the Bluetooth printers that are compatible make this a possibility easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins?

There are times that the system can be bogged down because it requires constant internet access. So if are having connection issues on a certain day then you won't be able to use the system to its full advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy and Smooth like butter on the counter."
What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins?

I love the user-friendliness of the application as well as the user interface of the web software. It is so easy and quick to make changes or update things on the fly in the middle of events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins?

I always have a hard time of making new label printers easily communicate with tablets. I wish it was literally plug and play, or that Check-in/PCO would suggest which is the easiest printer to buy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Check-ins saved our Kids Church!"
What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins?

Its fast, you can create as many stations as you need (every smartphone can transform into one station), and it is so versatile that any station can print in any printer in the network so, even if one printer has an issue, you can solve things on the go. Planning Center support time is one of the best of the world. They have a great help center, and their support team is knowledgeable, and replies much faster than you expect (even via email). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins?

Absolutely nothing, I love Check-ins as much as you can love a piece of software… the only thing I dislike is that their marketing didn't reach us sooner. The faster we made the switch, the better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great App for Checking in Kids"
What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins?

I like the mobile app and that it can be used on any device. I can use on my iPhone or when I get to church, they have it on Kindles and that is great. The ability to use it on different devices saves time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins?

Some times it doesn't connect to our wireless printers at a great speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Planning Center Check In"
What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins?

This works in conjuction with our existing Planning Center services and people apps. We like that we can schedule messages through this and also use self check in stations or mobile printer stations for check in purposes. You can also set this up to use as a check in for special events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins?

I really wish there was a better reporting function that would allow us to build our own custome reports. I would also like for there to be a way to make some certian cells when filling out information for the first time to be required. Like parents phone or email address.

"Easy enough for everyone on staff"
What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins?

Just about anyone can set up a check in event. And checking in people is very simple. I especially like that it checks volunteers for background checks when you mark it required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins?

I wish there was more customization available for the recurrence of the events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
