About Notebird

Notebird is a pastoral care application designed for churches, nonprofits, and ministries seeking to enhance their care efforts.

The Activity Feed feature in Notebird allows users to view real-time updates and interactions between team members and congregants. Additionally, the app enables users to generate Care Reports for an overview of pastoral care activities. The Milestones Feed displays upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, and other important dates to help users stay informed about significant occasions. Notebird also includes a Tasks feature, which assigns follow-ups to team members, ensuring that no one is overlooked. This application assists clergy and ministry teams in staying organized, prepared, and coordinated in their pastoral care efforts. By storing care interactions, tracking milestones, and facilitating follow-ups, Notebird aims to bring efficiency and organization to churches and ministries of various sizes.

Huge Help with Multi-Staff Pastoral Care

Seamless. They were a huge help transferring date at the beginning and when we have questions they are very responsive.

What they liked

Notebird helps us manage and coordinate pastoral care for our congregation among the staff, reducing repetition and being clear about needs/care we can provide

Room for improvement
  • We wish it synced with our church database, ACS/Realm
Switched From

We needed something that provided more confidentiality for those in pastoral leadership.

Notebird helps us keep track of our growing congregation

--It has been very helpful for our team to have a "feed" of the contacts/visits we have done...it also is very helpful to have milestones brought to our attention each day. --We also like having a "permanent" file on people where we can check back on our visitation history, etc

What they liked

I like: --Ease of adding an update --The speed/responsiveness of it --That it's basic but customizable

Room for improvement
  • --The cost, the individual user monthly charge makes it cost prohibitive for start up and small ministries that need it most --No push notifications
  • this is a critical feature that is missing
Why they chose it

"I switched to Notebird for pastoral care over our CHMS (breeze) because the data is visible on the surface rather than drilling down in 4 layers."

NoteBird Review

We like this tool, and will continue using because it’s primarily designed for pastoral care

What they liked
  • We like this tool, because it is a primary resource for pastoral care management
Room for improvement
  • The price is pretty heavy for what we have to pay per user versus per church
  • We would also like the function added to upload files or pictures or screenshots per event or need

Pastoral Care Must-Have

Verified reviewer

What they liked
  • It's so easy in Notebird to keep a running history of my pastoral care of each church member to pull up for future reference
  • The milestone reminders are also a helpful feature
  • It's also very easy to group members and customize your update subject fields
Room for improvement

Synching Notebird with our church management software was a bit of a trick, but Notebird's customer service was remarkably responsive and got everything running smoothly in short order

Notebird is GREAT

We are very happy with the software - it does what we need it to do and keeps our team in touch.

What they liked

Our Team can easily keep updated on changes and updates of our members - this is vital for a team that is rarely in the same room

Room for improvement

Importing large amounts of data can be challenging - we have thousands of entries that we didn't expect / desire when importing data

Why they chose it

"It was recommended from a friend - we took that recommendation and ran with it"

Great Pastoral Care Mgmt Tool

We like it and know that it will Continue to improve as developers hear feedback from users and implement changes to make it better.

What they liked
  • The milestone feature is super helpful to remember important dates for members of congregation
  • It has opened the door to deeper relationships in our church
Room for improvement
  • Some of the limitations on interfacing with the app
  • The address input is sometimes annoying because it tries to add without zip code and we need zip codes

great product!

great experience. love the interface and ease of use.

What they liked
  • love the note keeping features and the ease of management
  • Makes ministry more efficient and saves time in meetings
  • The tasks feature is great too
Room for improvement
  • There is not an automatic feature that can keep up with assigning members to prayer lists on a rotational basis
  • this must be done manually, assigning individuals to prayer list

Imperative for Large Comgregations

Verified reviewer

What they liked

Notebird not only assists our ministry staff in communicating pastoral care acts and prayer needs but also allows us mobile access to contact information and milestones while away from the office

Room for improvement
  • We are not yet accessing all avenues of Notebird, including task assignments
  • I do deeply appreciate the ability to restrict some updates for just certain aspects of our team
