	The City (Discontinued)	Vanco Faith (GivePlus)
Likelihood to Recommend	ACS Technologies The City would work well for a church who struggles to provide an easy way for members to connect and join groups. While the app has some drawbacks, as noted above, it beats allowing visitors and members to remain disconnected and in the dark about ways to involve themselves in church activities. Better to have this kind of ability to connect than none at all. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Vanco No answers on this topic
Pros	ACS Technologies View volunteering opportunities Find and join groups Submit prayer requests and join others in prayer Connect with other members Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Vanco No answers on this topic
Cons	ACS Technologies Seems the developer no longer supports the app User interface is difficult to navigate Often forces a sign out, thereby requiring you to sign in again Cumbersome search features Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Vanco No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	ACS Technologies While I haven't used another social networking app built for churches, I have used an app built by another local church. The City makes connecting with members easier. The user experience is severely lacking in The City app. It does, however, facilitate connections between members.

Return on Investment	ACS Technologies The City has made it easier to connect with people I met at church. It makes it simple to submit a prayer request and join others in prayer. It shows opportunities to get involved. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Vanco No answers on this topic
