I ran a test on the new Mobile Check-In feature last night. Thought I'd share my experience.

The option for mobile check-in should display on the event too. I posted this in the Feedback, but thought I'd share it here too.

It took me a while to find the new Mobile Check-In tab in the new app. I kept going to the event expecting to see the option there. It wasn't explained very well as to how you check-in on mobile. I never got a pop-up notification, so I kept looking in the event. Also, was never able to scan my code and when i tried to input the 4 digit code, it never pulled up my check in.. There isn't enough instruction on the how to check-in with the code part. Love the new feature, just needs more explanation. A video for the member on how to use it would be great!

Happy Birthday to the great Keith Hudgins!!

Does anyone know what scanner hardware is needed for members to scan their code for Mobile Checkin?

Hey Everyone! if you haven't already, let me encourage you to sign up for the Ministry Smart Conference happing on August 11-12. There are some great classes on the docket with some great presenters.

I'm humbled to have been asked to present at the conference and talk about Communications. There is something for everyone at this conference, and best part of all, it's FREE!!

I think it would be great to allow us to post Polls in Realm. If you think so as well, go vote on the enhancement request below.

A little encouragement this morning! We just completed our eighth week back with people in the room and our fourth week back with a choir helping to lead in worship. Hope you're blessed by this song from our worship service yesterday!

For churches that are doing registration for people returning to worship services or for children returning for child care, what questions are you asking in the registration process?

When I met with the development team at last year’s conference, there was some talk about the possibility of some being able to stream through Realm.

Has there been anymore discussion or even talk of allowing us to embed live video feeds into a Realm post?

Here’s a link to the type of electrostatic sprayer that we use at our church to disinfect surfaces between services.

There are lots of companies that provide similar machines available through a Google search.
