Ministry Scheduler Pro 4+

Although there are PUSH notifications, shouldn’t there be a way to create a calendar item for either Google or Outlook?

Having the ability to do this from the app would be helpful. Yes, when I first receive the email that I’ve been scheduled I ‘could’ create a calendar item at that time, but not so easy if I read the email on a mobile device, or I just glance at the email and chose to handle it later.

Being able to sit with you device, look at your schedule and create calendar events then and there would be great.

This feature is now available in the Settings pane of the app. I hope you enjoy it!

The MSP app is so helpful. As a volunteer, I can see my schedule, see who I am serving with, and access resources. It is easy to get a sub when I cannot serve.

As an administrator for my church, the app now has the ability for me to manage my volunteers from my phone!! It is amazing to be able to make changes and process my web forms as I go about my day away from my laptop.

Reading through the other reviews, I noticed that most issues reported have been addressed in software updates. And those who said they enter their away dates but then they disappear-well, that is on purpose! Volunteers can enter their away dates and the system can automatically process them. However, I have our MSP set to manually approve away dates so that I can address any questions. Therefore, the dates don’t appear until I approve them and I have shared that information with my volunteers to give me 24 hours to approve the dates.

MSP is quick to address any issues that you have with their app or software. If you are a volunteer, please reach out to your administrator for help. They will either know the answer or will be able to alert MSP about the issue.

Highly recommend this scheduling software and their attentive staff!

Thank you for your positive review! As you mentioned, a lot of the app is managed by individual churches, so reaching out ot a scheduling administrator is often helpful if you are a volunteer.

The app is very helpful to let a participant know when he/she is scheduled to serve. It makes it easy to request a substitute. It makes it easy to take that sub request. We have been using the app for a couple moths now. What I have noticed is that people do not generally fill in a sub request. I believe this is because the app itself does not send out notifications when someone requests a substitute. The substitute requests can only be received via email. Many folks don’t check their email throughout the day. If the app were to send out substitute requests, I think more people would be likely to fill in for that spot. This would greatly improve the app.

Thank you so much for your feedback! This is a great idea that I will be sure to share with our team for future development.
