Best iPhone Apps for Churches?
I fully admit my admiration for the iPhone. As an iPhone user, my absolute favorite aspect of the device are the applications (Apps) I can download from the iTunes App Store. With that in mind, I’m sharing a few of my favorite apps that are useful for churches. Please share the names (and free/cost) for your favorite helpful apps for your church.
TweetDeck is my favorite for managing my Twitter accounts and updating my Facebook status both on my iPhone and on my desktop (they sync).
Dual Level is just plain helpful for, well, leveling things.
Shazam will find almost any song that it can hear (using the iPhone mic), making it very helpful to find song titles, artists, albums and publishers.
Evernote is a clever little app that lets you stay organized and keep information easy to find.
TweetMic will publish audio your record into your iPhone to your Twitter account, making it useful as an audio blogging tool.
F1Touch is an app that works with Fellowship One (church management software) by Fellowship Technologies (where I work).
What are your favorites? Be sure to include the name and price (free/cost).
Staying In Touch with F1Touch
The software development team at work (Fellowship Technologies) has quite a few projects in motion at any given time, but one of those projects really caught my attention: an iPhone app for Fellowship One.
A fully native App (download-able for free on the iTunes App Store) for the iPhone, F1Touch provides the most commonly needed information, people’s contact details, available on-the-go. Because it’s on the iPhone, a Wi-Fi connection isn’t required.
Take a look at how easy it is to find people in your church (in the Fellowship One software). And, because it’s made for the iPhone, all of the functionality you’d expect is included. If you see a phone number, click it and it will call the number; click on the address and get a Google map. Here’s what the App looks like:
F1 Touch Login
F1Touch Members
F1Touch Individual
F1Touch Search
F1Touch My Profile
In a mobile culture, connecting with people beyond the weekend is critical. F1Touch is one of the newest tools developed by Fellowship Technologies to find new and creative ways for churches to build stronger relationships with members, visitors and guests. I love working with a team that “gets” church today!
