Because we had already used it as a communication means, we did not want to make another sudden change and rip the carpet off from under our parishioner's feet. Then later the character count/message was an issue, but through support were able to resolve that concern. > > It is a good systems with lots to learn. Need more time to go through everything to capitalize its use. However support is superb, hope that never is compromised. ----- ### "Gloo is Fantastic" — 5.0/5 > **Jonas** | *12 December 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gloo is a great platform for connecting with people exploring their faith. The tools for texting are top-shelf. > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything I don't like about Gloo. > > Gloo Plus has been a game-changer for us. We use texting and continue to grow in learning all that is available to us. ----- ### "Maybe too early to tell" — 3.0/5 > **James** | *2 November 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's really easy to connect with my congregation and I love that texting is free. > > **Cons**: I keep having issues with notifications. I am currently in the third time of not receiving notifications when someone sends a message. Seems to primarily be a mobile app issues. > > As a text blast tool, it's great. I have not seen any fruit from it's use, though. I don't get many replies. No visitors have come from the new mover mailers. Few explorer's issues are fully resolved before they just stop responding to messages. I feels like I can use Gloo to dispense information to my congregation, but little else. It's been about four months. Maybe it's still too early to tell... ----- ### "Gloo is vastly improving our communication\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tanya** | *3 December 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gloo is very user friendly. It integrates seamlessly with Planning Center making it easy to create lists and target groups to communicate with. Excellent customer service…The Gloo Team met with us personally via Zoom to discuss features and answer questions. The built in workflows and guidance on when/how to communicate with newcomers is thoughtful and improving the way we personalize our comms. > > **Cons**: It took some time to learn the terminology. > > Gloo has been an excellent addition to our communication tool belt. It is a well thought out platform with excellent features built making it easy to create a thoughtful communication plan. ----- ### "A Must-Have Tool for Church Communication" — 5.0/5 > **Lamont** | *23 October 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: its ease of use and professionalism without needing an expert. The platform is packed with tools to engage your congregation and those seeking a church, along with resources that boost both your knowledge of the product and your faith. Plus, the free version offers nearly everything other paid apps do. > > **Cons**: Not to many cons. Other than there is so much info you can go down a rabbit how taking in all the knowledge. Not sure that’s a con. > > As a pastor, I have spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right church texting app, and after trying several options, Gloo stands out as the best. We opted for Gloo Plus, but even the free version covers 90% of what the other paid apps offer. Gloo enables us to reach our congregation effortlessly, and after all, isn’t the Kingdom about reaching people? This platform provides a level of professionalism without requiring a technical expert. Straight out of the box, it’s easy to navigate and communicate with large groups. One of the standout features is the wealth of resources aimed at increasing both our knowledge of the product and our faith. Gloo also excels at engaging those who are actively looking for a church, and it’s packed with the tools necessary to keep everyone informed and connected. We won’t stop using Gloo – you can quote me on that\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/495934/Gloo?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/495934/Gloo) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
