Pros and cons of Disciple

One aspect I really appreciate about Disciple is the ease of community management. The platform's intuitive interface and customization options make it simple to create and manage my online community. I also find the engagement features, such as discussions and event organization, to be effective in fostering interaction among community members. Overall, Disciple has helped me build a thriving community and enhance the overall user experience.

Overall, disappointing

Overall, I feel like I sank a lot of time and money into something that was not the right solution for my business. Maybe it could work for others. But I've switched to Mighty Networks and am finding it a lot easier to get people engaged there and find the help they provide to be a lot more effective.

Pros:

I like that they had their own app and the general look of the whole thing and ease of setup.

Cons:

I spent a lot of time setting up a community app w/ Disciple and in the end found it to be not a welcoming experience for users. I really wanted to make it work. But the UI was lacking and whenever I looked for support they sent me to big folders w/ tons of info rather than outlining a success path. It felt like an uphill battle to get engagement going.

Reasons for choosing Disciple

Because I could have my own app, but in the end users weren't signing up so the app didn't matter.

Vendor Response

Hi Annie, Thank you so much for your feedback. We are sorry that Disciple wasn't the right solution for you in the end. We want all of our customers to have a joyous experience with their app and so we take all feedback really seriously. We have recently rebuilt the console so that it looks much clearer and has a more intuitive user experience. We are also making continuous improvements to how members experience the platform and have been getting really positive feedback on recent updates. Our support team has listened to your feedback and they are working to provide more customised support depending on the customer's needs. We wish you all the best with your community and want to thank you for taking the time to help us improve. Best wishes, The Disciple Team

Disciple Review from Full Circle Music

It has been good overall. During the process of getting our app created I will say I wasn't happy about the speed of communication and Disciple working with Apple on our behalf. We had a tight deadline which was communicated on the front end, so I would have liked Disciple to be more aggressive in resolving issues that Apple had with the app. There have also been a few things that are frustrating that can't be changed like URLs for example. But I will say support has been great at helping with what they can help with.

Pros:

We really like the member directory and badges features. We also love that we have our own app and the amount of control we have on the backend. The simple, sleek design is easy to navigate.

Cons:

There are still some things that aren't as customizable as we would like. Here are a few examples: Not being able to upload mp3s. Not being able to send files in DMs. Search ability isn't great. When you search you should be able to see any post from any group you are in that has that content. Not being able to turn on the "connect" option for DMs. No timestamps on messages. Not being able to change the thumbnail on video uploads.

Reasons for choosing Disciple

The fact that we could have our own app, it is a simple sleek design and easy to navigate, it has badges and a member directory, the onboarding process auto fills out profiles, we have a lot of control on the backend.

Reasons for switching to Disciple

Mighty Networks was missing a few features like badges and a member directory that we felt we really important to our community.

Pros:

What I love most is that this is a true solution to having my own native app without spending 50k to hundreds of thousands to have something that is completely my own. It's been amazing to work with the Disciple team. They are truly there to serve me as a client. I have a dedicated success manager that works with me and is super helpful with some of the regular needs of keeping compliant and up to date with Apple and google play.

Cons:

Since this is a smaller companies the rate at which new functions comes out is slow. But, I've found it's worth the wait. They listen, and I've been heard with many features released that I have requested.

Vendor Response

Hi India, thank you so much for your feedback. As a company, one of our goals is to ensure that each of our customers has a joyous experience with their app. Therefore, we've just introduced a new analytics dashboard that presents insights into your members' behaviour more clearly than ever before. It should now be a cinch to see vital insights such as who's posting, liking, commenting and how often members are returning to your app. We know that insights like this are vital for your community engagement strategy so we hope the new dashboard will make your life easier. Regarding email customisation, our platform integrates fully with email software such as MailChimp and Gmail which will allow you to tailor your email formatting and mailing lists. If you need any further help, please do contact our team at help@disciplemedia.com and we'll do our best to support you. Best wishes, The Disciple Team

Hi Thomas, thank you so much for your feedback! We're so glad that you love the professional look and feel of your app, and that our team has provided you with the support you need. That's what we aim for! It would be great to hear more about what you mean by the idiosyncrasies that may restrict engagement. Our customers normally report greatly improved engagement on their platforms than they were able to achieve through the noise of traditional social media platforms, like Facebook. Our content posting tools are set up to maximise engagement through features such as polls, GIFs, video and photos and scheduled posting at times when your audience is most active. If you need any help, please get in touch with our team at help@disciplemedia.com and we'll do our best to support you. Best wishes, The Disciple Team

It's Okay, But Could Be More

We have found it seems to be limited, or not enough when we have tried to do extra things. Other platforms offer more to the admin users to engage with users, with extra tools. Disciple does not seem to be there yet.
