📈 Last March, we had to remove analytics from the Church Apps dashboard due to our third-party analytics provider shutting down. Ever since then, our team has been hard at work figuring out the best way to bring you Church Apps analytics.

🎉 And the day is finally here — Church App analytics are back!
You can now see the all time total users, iOS users, and Android users in your admin dashboard.
These numbers will help you understand the overall adoption of your Church App among your congregation.
➡️ Our team is still working to make these analytics even stronger with things like filtering. Keep an eye out for more updates over the coming weeks.
We just released a new update to the slide out menu in your Custom Church App that brings messaging to the forefront of the church app and making it easier than ever for users to connect.
Messaging has always been core to the church app and church engagement, but it needed to be faster, easier, and more accessible. In response, we’ve redesigned the experience to make messaging front and center—a big leap forward in helping churches engage with their communities seamlessly.

What’s New in the Slideout Menu?
  • Messaging is now integrated directly into the Slideout Menu, ensuring that users can access their messages in just one tap.
  • Message bubbles are prominently displayed, so users can quickly see unread conversations and stay connected.
  • By prioritizing messaging within the Slideout Menu, we’ve reduced the number of taps required to send or view messages.
  • This new flow is intuitive, friction-free, and designed to keep communication at the heart of the church app experience.
  • This update is live now on both iOS and Android, so your church community can immediately start experiencing the improved messaging capabilities.
Why This Matters:
These updates ensure that churches can:
  • Boost Engagement: By making messaging faster and easier to access, your congregation can stay better connected.
  • Improve Communication: Message bubbles make it easy to see and prioritize conversations at a glance.
  • Simplify Navigation: Users no longer have to dig through the app to find their messages—everything is right where it needs to be.
We just released a few impactful changes to make your Giving experience easier. Keep reading to see the updates.

Updated Filtering
Our new Filters in Transactions make it easier than ever to find exactly what you’re looking for. You can now filter by specific amounts, apply multiple filters at the same time, and clear them with a single click. It’s quick and hassle-free.
We’ve also updated the way you filter by funds, letting you choose between All Funds (Active, Hidden, Archived) or just Active and Hidden funds. It’s all about giving you more control over how you view your transactions.

More Info on Failed Transactions
We now provide you with more information about your donors' failed transactions which gives you more visibility into why a transaction has failed for your donors. With this knowledge, you can easily instruct your donors what happened to a failed transaction and their best next course of action.

Editing Transactions
Admins can now select a new Edit button which allows them to edit the transaction. This means you can edit the Fund associated with that transaction. When you edit a transaction it is reflected across the Tithely system and for the donor.
We're always working to make your Tithely experience better. That's why our Church Apps team has been hard at working redesigning the Church App Admin dashboard! Not only does it look awesome, it's easier-to-use and more helpful!
new dashboard
So, what's new?

We just released an overhaul of our Slide-Out Menu in Tithely Church Apps. We’ve redone the design of the slide out menu to provide a better experience for your Church App users.
Your users will now be able to access all their notifications and have the ability to reply to some of them right from the new slide out menu!

Introducing the Revolutionary Automatic App Builder: Build Your Church App in Minutes!
We're thrilled to announce an exciting update for Tithely Church Apps – the groundbreaking Automatic App Builder. While our custom church apps already offer a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, we've recognized that the initial app-building process can be time-consuming and tedious. That's about to change!
With this new feature, you simply: enter your church website link and logo, choose a modern app layout - and voilà! Your app is built automatically in less than a minute. Yes, you read that right, you can have a church app ready-to-launch in minutes.
So, how is this possible? Well, using your church website and a little Tithely tech magic, we’re able to launch an App for your church that has all the right information and even matches your church's branding! Gone are the days of filling out forms, answering questionnaires, and waiting days or even weeks for a fully functional Church App! If you have a church website, you can have a Tithely Church App today.
With a Church App, your church members will be able to easily engage with your church! You can enable members to take interactive sermon notes, give to the church right from the app, receive group messages for easy communication and volunteering, listen to messages on the go, access small group material, check the prayer list, and much more. Creating a church app has truly never been easier!
We're ecstatic to announce the launch of our much-anticipated update to one of our cornerstone Giving products: the Tithely Giving App for iOS! Designed for convenience and simplicity, our mobile giving solution is now more accessible and reliable than ever for your church members.
