Getting Around the App

June 30, 2026 support 3 min read

Once you have the app open, finding your way around is easy. This guide walks you through the home screen, the menu, the bottom tabs, and how to switch to a darker look for night-time reading.

The home screen

When you open the app you land on the Welcome home screen. This is your starting point, set up by your church. Depending on how it is arranged, you will see a row of buttons or a grid of tiles. Just tap any button or tile to jump straight to that area, such as events, sermons, giving, or the Bible.

The bottom tabs

Along the bottom of the screen is a row of tabs for the areas your church uses most. Home is always the first tab so you can return to the start at any time. Tap any tab to switch to it. The tabs you see are chosen by your church, so they may differ from another church’s app.

The menu

For everything else, open the side menu.

  1. Tap the menu button (the lines icon) in the top-left corner of most screens.
  2. The menu slides in, with your church’s name at the top and your profile just below it.
  3. Scroll the list and tap any item to open it. You will find Home, Notifications, and whichever features your church has switched on, such as Events, Sermons, Giving, Bible, Locations, and more.
  4. Tap Settings near the bottom for app options.
  • The menu closes by itself once you tap an item. To close it without choosing anything, swipe it away or tap the screen beside it.
  • A red badge next to Notifications shows how many new notifications are waiting.
  • The app version is shown at the very bottom of the menu, which is handy if you ever need to contact support.

Going back

When you open a page from a list or a link, a back arrow appears in the top-left corner. Tap it to return to the previous screen. You can also tap the Home tab at any time to start over.

Switch to dark (low light) mode

If you prefer a darker screen, especially in the evening, you can turn on low light mode.

  1. Open the menu and tap Settings.
  2. Under General, tap Low light.
  3. Choose one of the options:
    • On always uses the darker look.
    • Off always uses the lighter look.
    • System follows your phone’s own light or dark setting automatically.
  4. The change takes effect straight away, and the app remembers your choice next time.

Tips

  • Pull down on a list or the home screen to refresh it and load the latest content.
  • If something does not look up to date, refreshing usually fixes it.
