Flocknote Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

The cost for this service is amazing compared to other services. The ease of use from any location is amazing. The constant checking in with users about their desire to continue to receive messages is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would appreciate a better mobile/app experience but everything is still easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love that Flocknote allows our ministries heads to manage their own email lists while still being integrated into a larger list the church can help them manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are certain things that we would like Flocknote to be able to do, but they make up for it with all the other things that help our ministry. I would rather it stay really solid at one thing (email messaging) rather than branch out into other areas and get scattered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EASE OF USE!! Flocknote has turned several non-technical staff members into multi-tasking, email and text sending, super staffers!!! Seriously, we have a few staff who rarely used their computer for much more than checking email. Now they are fully in love with Flocknote and the ability to send messages to their "Flock" (ministries).

Other than email, Flocknote allows us to connect in multiple ways. Users can send messages as either emails or text messages for those who opt in. Flocknote also collects responses to messages on the Flocknote website and displays them along with the original message. Replies can be marked as private if needed, but can also be left public to share with the larger community. Flocknote also provides many more great ways for the community to come together, including daily Lenten reflections, poll questions, and embedded videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was an ability to remove a large group of contacts if they are only in one group. When we are dealing with a few thousand contacts, it is hard to pull out those who are only in one particular group and remove them from the database. For example, we send out a marketing piece each fall to everyone who has ever given to our parish. There is a large number of non-members, past members, etc. - however, that group also includes our regular members. I would like to be able to easily pull out those who are ONLY IN THAT GROUP and delete their contact info after that yearly marketing piece. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it's a one stop shop for Email and texting. It's so easy to use and train others in on that it broadens the capabilities of our communications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes changing the formatting within the newsletter can be a challenge (example: changing text color doesn't always work) and sometimes the spacing on the lines becomes inconsistent so I need to retype to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flocknote has been a game changer for our parish. It's increased participation at events, improved communication with parishioners between weekends, and streamlined our messages into one, easy to find location. I don't know where we'd be without it, to be quite honest! I have been tempted to switch to different email service providers (MailChimp, AWeber, etc.) several times while using Flocknote, but every time I contemplate switching I remember how incredibly easy it is to use. That fact alone keeps me coming back to it again and again, even as someone who is skilled and has the time to use another system with deeper analytics and integrations.

Flocknote could honestly work a little faster (load times are slow, even on Chrome) and reduce the number of times it crashes. It's not a huge deal most of the time, but can be a big hindrance when working on an important note or text message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's rare to see a company continue to improve their product while you use it. Affordable & amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd love for my emails to be "from" me instead of from the name of the group. It would give it a personal touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Flocknote is so scalable, meaning that you can divide it up into smaller bits or larger groups very easily. It's easy to have subgroups and hidden groups. Then you can give volunteers more control, yet still have supervision over what they are doing so that messages are coming from a unified source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more features to make using it in Spanish simpler. Like being able to upload an entire CSV file where it auto selects Spanish as the language choice. Or to offer some of the Bishop Barron or other free services in Spanish. I went through the Lent texts this year and made them bilingual myself. We are a 50/50 parish and we try to be bilingual wherever possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Questions have been answered quickly by friendly service team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it had a built in translator. So I could automatically have it translate English messages into Spanish as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to schedule texts or emails in advance, and the ability to reply to replies to those communications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The telephone numbers being used to send text messages are coming from outside our area code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program made it easier to text a large group of people, and it was easy to reply to people as they replied to me. The alternative would have been texting from my phone, and with the large group of people, it would have been a lot of "clutter" on my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't receive notifications when someone texted me back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
