In case there is a component missing they are available to add it. > > astounding , every individual I was allocated helped me to such an extent. I partook in the aggregate application as an asset ----- ### "Disciple Review from Full Circle Music" — 4.0/5 > **Alex** | *28 July 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Fab product, only let down by tech issues & poor attitude from support" — 2.0/5 > **Hayley** | *12 August 2020* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: We loved how quickly this app was ready to go. It was the ideal solution to connect our community when the UK went into lockdown and our support groups had to stop. We most like the forum, private messaging, and post scheduling features. The ability to create and arrange folders has been helpful too. > > **Cons**: There have been a number of technical issues that have resulted in people not using the app, such as it taking a long time to load or suddenly closing down; or the buttons and text being colours that meant they couldn't be seen on certain phones whereas they were working fine on others. There were issues with the welcome email displaying incorrectly, that meant we had to use plain text. Initially we were surprised to find that people's messages could be shared outside of the app, but this function was updated when we asked. > > The onboarding process was great. Our Community Specialist and then our Community Success Manager were both absolutely fantastic; really helpful and responsive. The app had some technical issues which we would expect initially, but these have been ongoing and feedback tells us that this has resulted in some people leaving or not using the app. When I personally experienced an issue with a long load time that led to me not using the app for a while. I was given instructions to: log out and quit the app; power-cycle your device; go to Setting on your device and find Quiet Connections app in the list at the bottom of this view; turn on the toggle for Clear data on next launch; then reopen Quiet Connections, log back in and test if the issue persists. When I shared that this worked for me and asked if they were working on a solution because a) I felt it was unprofessional to tell our users to go through this process and b) our users are socially anxious so they would not even attempt to reach out to resolve an issue like this (they would just leave), The Manager of the Support told me: "customers DO reach out" and "I'm fairly certain that you're familiar with the tv show "IT Crowd", it's great don't get me wrong, however, as someone with more than 10 years of experience in the tech support field it pains me it made the public assume that power-cycling ("have you tried turning it off and on again") is just a gag or even worse, it's perceived as "unprofessional"." ----- ### "GAME CHANGER, TO A VERY GOOD GAME\!" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *6 July 2021* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The speed to active, ease of use in back end and for members, regular and sensible upgrades, brilliant support and love how they promote the community for the host users to learn and support each other > > **Cons**: I am used to finding work arounds, so there isn't anything I don't like. Always scope for improvement but Disciple are all over that constantly. > > It is like working with a genuine partner, who recognise how their own success is intrinsically linked to that of their customers. It is an actual pleasure. Even the finance folk are great when billing time comes around. ----- ### "Outstanding App + Service - I highly recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Jae** | *3 September 2024* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best app solution on the market. I've been subscribed to Disciple for over 4 years now, and would recommend it to anyone looking to have an app on the iOS and google play store - without any hassle. You are able to share member perks, events, and community news - and the customer service is super responsive and helpful, at all times. My account manager \[sensitive content hidden\] is always on hand to sort issues out very fast - to ensure my business is not impacted, and the app serves my club and global community always\! > > **Cons**: I think Disciple is the best app on the market - highly recommend > > The best service with Disciple - the app is great\! ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/177349/disciple?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/177349/disciple) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
