Posted by As the leaves fall outside and autumn slowly settles in, things are getting more colorful in ChurchTools – and not just because of the new languages! In this update, you’ll get more clarity, more convenience, and more ways to view files and links directly in the app. Here’s a full overview of the new features. 🍂
View files in the app
You can now open and view .txt, .sng, ChordPro, and Markdown files directly in the app. This is especially handy when you have song lyrics, notes, or attachments and don’t want to switch between apps. Just open, read, done – no detours needed.
New languages: Suomi and Italian
ChurchTools now speaks two new languages! In addition to the existing ones, you can now use the app in Finnish and Italian. This makes the platform accessible to even more churches around the world.
Person links open directly in the app
When you click on a link to a person, you’ll now land directly in their profile – without the browser detour. That saves clicks and makes navigating between profiles much smoother. This makes it easy to reference people in, for example, a post.
Links to your own profile also now open directly in the app. This way, you can quickly access your personal data, settings, or profile picture at any time.
New notification settings for requests
You can now decide whether you want to be notified about meeting or service requests. This way, you only get notifications about what really matters to you – keeping your inbox neat and organized.
Full addresses and links in events
Event entries now display full addresses and links. No more guessing where a meeting takes place or which Zoom link to use – everything is shown clearly and completely.
If this is not enough for you, you will find all changes of this and earlier versions in our Changelog.
We hope you like the new version as much as we do. As always, you may leave praise and criticism in our forum.
