Planning Center Headcounts 4+

Great app + Response to 1 star rating below

Response to critic complaining about it not working without Check-Ins from Planning Center: You do have to have Check-Ins, but if all you want to do is post a headcount you can use the FREE package of Check-Ins! Head counts don't count towards your total number of Check-Ins so you can choose the smallest package. Try it out before bashing an app for doing what it's supposed to do...and they give you a way to use it for free!

Great little app that proves Planning Center is continually listening to their customers and developing really great apps!

Must have Check-ins?

Thanks for the response. I didn't think about all the analytics being housed within check-ins module...

Sorry for the disappointment here! Headcounts has always been a part of Check-Ins because that's where your event times are stored. Since you're a long time Planning Center user, you might see this app in the same way Music Stand is a part of Services. Services holds the data, and Music Stand allows you to see it in the most appropriate way. It's the same with Headcounts. And, we've made sure that no matter what you can use unlimited Headcounts for free on the free Check-Ins plan. Hope this helps! - Scott

Half way there

Good idea but it needs to connect to the check in app. So that when a child is checked in they show checked in and “floating” in the building. When the child makes it to the classroom, the leader can then account for the child by selecting their name as they enters.

Also, the total headcount needs to be split by service. If you have multiple services it’s more helpful and accurate to reflect headcount per room per service. This is an additional benefit of having headcount rosters being driven from Check-Ins.

Hi! Thanks for the review! Just to clear up a bit of misunderstanding, this app is not to check children in - the Check-Ins Station app is designed for that. This app is to count those who don't need to check in by name, so you have an overall count in the rooms you don't check kids and volunteers into.

In addition, Headcount types are designed to be able to split up based on the times your admin has set up in Check-Ins. If one is missing, you'll need to contact them.
