  • Pros

  • We have been blown away with all the functions available even on the free plan. It's so well-made, very easy to use and the customer service is very responsive and friendly.
  • Planning center is such great tool to inform and prepare volunteers in advance so that they can perform to the best of their ability.
  • Cons

  • It's a little awkward to block out multiple days in the calendar that aren't consecutive.
  • As a user i several times had problems with logging in, as system did not recognize i was registered by admin twice, with the same email. So it is running 2 profiles with the very same attributes.
