MH Micah H. Student Ministry Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/29/2020 "Easy To Use Check In System" 5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins? I love how easy planning center check inns is to use for our volunteer teams. It takes a lot of data that we pull from planning center registrations and compiled into a very easy to see and easy to use system that a volunteer can manage or honestly we could use with a tablet check in system for those checking in individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins? I wish there were ways to customize the check in system to where users could check in on their phone as they enter the building. Maybe there isn’t what I just don’t understand it or know it yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Check-Ins: This is a great tool to implement especially if you were using planning center registrations. It makes event registration and management so easy it’s an excellent tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Check-Ins solving and how is that benefiting you? With COVID-19 we need a way to get our people to register for our Sunday morning services. This was going to enable us to have safety while monitoring numbers in our building.

Children's Pastor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/5/2019 "Planning Center Check-Ins has changed my life!" 5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins? The most helpful thing with PC Check-Ins is the reports! It is so helpful in our kids' ministry to have a roster of who is in service every week. It is so helpful to have all the parent's information for follow-ups! And we LOVE the barcode tags!! Parents love being able to check in their children themselves! It makes life SO easy and is worth any amount of money! Also, it's so easy to train new volunteers on how to use it and manage the system. It doesn't have to be ran by any one person, parents can even check in on their own and edit their info! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins? The ONLY thing I wish would be improved on PC Check-ins is the ability to check in guests and hold their information in the system. Right now, to my knowledge, you add a first time guest family, but it doesn't save their information for if the family comes back the following Sunday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Check-Ins: I would recommend everything Planning Center offers! It integrates with Planning Center registrations very well! It's so easy to use and keeps track of every kind of attendance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Check-Ins solving and how is that benefiting you?

Office Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/19/2019 "We use Check-Ins basically to check-m our nursery children." 3.5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins? It is fairly easy for the parents to use. They just type in their phone number and their family shows up. Then they select which people they are checking in and wait for the labels to print. Overall process takes less than a minute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins? Setting it up is not as simple as it could be.

Office Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/1/2019 "The Best App In PCO" 5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Check-Ins? This App is almost flawless. Easy to set-up, Easy to use, seamless system for child security, and the price is super good for all of the features. There are literally too many goodies to list. You can watch their feature and training videos on YouTube. You also can get a free trial if you don't know what will work for your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins? The printer features and mobile vs. desktop features is a huge loss. Currently, only Dymo printer users have the option to print custom labels. If that is something you are considering, then you will want to look into Dymo. Also, the desktop app does not print wireless. You can only print wirelessly if you have the mobile app on a phone or tablet (keep in mind, the printer has to be wireless/wifi printer if you want to print wirelessly [just had to mention this in case someone tries to reference this]. If they fix these two features, then I see a perfect score (in my eyes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If the child’s name is already in the system it’s just a matter of a swipe. If the person is new, adding a name is not that difficult. The ability to connect to label makers to create labels. By doing this we also get a better list of church members and attendees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Check-Ins? Working around the iPad app when administrative changes need to be made. If an event is not active but you want to make changes to the event, the app is not very easy to navigate to get in and make changes. Planning Center is not just “Check-ins”. It’s also “Services,” “Groups,” “Reservations” etc. So sometimes all these different services “get in the way” of focusing on one thing. Maybe PC could have a login for one but once you are logged in you can choose which one you are going to be working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Planning Center Check-Ins: The Planning Center platforms offers and affordable option is using check-ins at church even for the smallest of congregations or the largest of them. It works together with the Planning Center People and Planning Center Services. You don’t have to work on 3 separate platforms and inserting the same names over and over again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Check-Ins solving and how is that benefiting you? We did not have a good system of keeping track of children who come to class during the weekend services. By using Planning Center “Check-ins” we are able to know exactly who is in class and also give an attendance report. The labels allow us to know the names of the children and know other information like emergency contact info and health issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
