## Description

LEAD is a Chrome extension designed for church ministry leaders to know the story of their people. It brings groups, people, calendars, and schedules into one place, helping you stay connected, track attendance, remember special days, assign needs, and view group guest lists for better discipleship.

Beyond group management, LEAD provides person profiles, a Timeline of involvement, and visibility into serving, attending, and giving patterns. It includes schedules, service plans, calendars, and process queues, plus Notes to share essential context. An active Church Community Builder account is required and permissions-based access ensures secure, relevant data for your team.

## Review summary

Users praise LEAD. for its feature-rich church-management capabilities and usefulness for volunteers, including events, calendars, and accessible tasks. However, reviews consistently flag major drawbacks: unstable login/authentication, limited mobile functionality, reliability issues, poor support, and iPad orientation limitations. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong features and usefulness are offset by critical usability and support problems that hamper day-to-day use.

### Pros

- Feature-rich church management tool with events, resources, and volunteer workflows.
- Helpful for volunteers and church administration; useful for scheduling and calendars.
- Core tasks like taking attendance, viewing schedules, and contacting people are easy on mobile.
- Recent updates improved iPad usability by adding landscape mode.
- Overall accessibility and ease of use praised by some reviewers (e.g., 'Absolutely love it', 'great app overall').

### Cons

- Persistent login problems and broken authentication (frequent sign-outs, Face ID issues, church search failures).
- Mobile feature gaps and editing limitations (cannot log attendance from event screen, limited profile fields, can’t update the database on the fly, difficulty attaching documents in group emails).
- Stability and performance issues (random freezes, crashes, syncing problems with contacts/calendar).
- Support challenges (dead links to developers, difficult to reach, basic help pages).
- UI/UX orientation limitations on iPad (portrait-only in many views, slow to support landscape).
