“Which day should we meet?” or “What are you bringing to eat?” \u2013 Questions like these are often asked in a chat group. But what if you could ask a question and collect everyone’s answers right away? Now you can do that in the ChurchTools app! \ud83c\udf89 With version 0.81, you can create polls directly in chats and react to comments on posts with emojis. New icons also make menus easier to navigate, and we’ve optimized the app’s performance on Android. Here’s an overview of what’s new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create polls directly in chats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

You can now create and answer polls directly in chats. This makes it easy to gather opinions and make decisions within a conversation. For example, you can ask your small group which date works best for the next meeting. For now, polls support single-choice answers, meaning each participant can select one option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

React to comments with emojis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Emoji reactions are now available for comments on posts, too. You can react directly to a comment without having to write a reply. Whether it’s a \ud83d\udc4d to show agreement or a \u2764\ufe0f to say thanks, interacting with others in the comments is now even easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

New icons make menus easier to navigate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Actions in selection menus now come with matching icons. This helps you quickly recognize what each menu option does, making it easier to find your way around and navigate the app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Improved performance on Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve optimized the ChurchTools App’s performance and memory usage on Android. This allows the app to use available resources more efficiently and run more smoothly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
