How to Install the Church Connect App
Installing Church Connect on your phone is easy. The steps are similar whether you have an Android or iPhone.
You must us Safari if you're using an iPhone, or Chrome if you're on an Android phone. Navigate to your Connect page, or if you have the QR code, use your phone's camera to instantly navigate to the page.
Follow the prompt to install the app. If you don't see a prompt, click the Action/Share button and then "Add to Home Screen".
From now on, use the new app icon on your home screen to run Church Connect. There's no need to use your browser any more!
What if my phone doesn't prompt me to download the app?
If your phone doesn't automatically prompt you to download the app, the process is still the same on your iPhone. If you're using an android device, you will navigate to the chrome browser menu and select either "Install app" or "Add to home screen" (depending on your Android device).
Is Church Connect available in the app store?
Church Connect is a "web app", as opposed to a "native app". This means it will not show up in an app store. Instead, it's downloaded right from the Connect site.
This makes it easier for your members to download it to their smartphones. All you have to do is share your Church Connect URL or QR code and your members can download it right away, without having to leave your site and open their app store, then search for the app there. Also, this prevents people from accidentally downloading an app for the wrong church.
