What Planning Center Does Well
Users who gave Planning Center a positive review said that it is a great service planning platform with an excellent volunteer management functionality that simplifies the process of scheduling. They also mentioned that it is easy to use and is innovative and that it has a great user interface and a responsive support team.
“Planning Center has a great user interface. The media player is equally well-designed too. Overall the organization of the data, scheduling, and files is very efficient and easy to process at a glance but also has great in-depth features, like accessing PDF uploads, blocking out dates on your calendar, and new features of managing people and workflows, complete with charts and metrics.”
