Fusion Engineer Oil & Energy ### "Notebird Review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 January 12, 2026 My experience with Notebird is very positive, I enjoy the ease of use and the ability to produce documents to encapsulate my thoughts and finding Pros Using notebook is a very good way to keep track of clear outcomes you have recorded, I use it mostly for note taking and reporting. Cons As there are fewer users compared to the Microsoft equivalent it makes collaborative working a bit slower Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Parish Nurse Religious Institutions ### "Fantastic App for Church Care Ministries" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 20, 2025 Our church changed computer systems and we had to find a new way to keep up with our growing Care needs at the church. After some research I came across Notebird and found that it was among the top new apps for churches. It has worked out beautifully for our church and is so easy to use. Easy note taking and customer support has good response times. I would highly recommend this to any church looking for a confidential and consise place to keep up with caring for your congregation. Pros This is one of the most efficient apps for your church to keep up with Care needs in your congregation. You can customize it for your needs so everyone who is involved with care can stay up to date. Cons Notebird has been little slow with software updates and requested changes but overall it's a great system.

Response from Vendor October 30, 2025 Thank you so much Lisa for the kind and generous review! Can't wait for you to experience all the awesome updates coming in the next 12 months! -Thomas MM MARY M. The Rev. Dn Religious Institutions ### "Notebird has been a game changer for us." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 25, 2025 Since we have started using Notebird we are hearing from the congregation how much our pastoral care has improved and they are so grateful. Yes, we have made some positive changes in the team, but the secret is a lot of the improvement is because of Notebird. Pros Notebird has been incredible for us in helping us track and take care of our pastoral care needs. The pastoral care team can easily see what is happening across our congregation. It is easy to talk with each other using the app about questions and leave reminders for team members. We have easily tailored the categories to our needs. The reporting is fast and easy to use. We had almost no learning curve-it is very user friendly and it is well priced. If we have had questions or issues the customer care team is very responsive and helpful. Cons I wish we could up-load data from an excel spread sheet. But this is not a huge issue. We use Realm for our parishioner data--we do not want pastoral care in Realm in order to make sure there is a firewall. But it would be nice to upload data from Realm. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) It was clunky and very hard to use. It ended up being not used well. Alternatives considered [Realm](https://www.capterra.com/p/146265/Realm/) Reasons for choosing Notebird We were using the test version of Notebird and Realm couldn't match it. In the end because of the sensitivity of the data we wanted a completely different system so there would not be any accidents.

ME Mandy E. Ministry and Care Associate Religious Institutions ### "Game Changer" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 26, 2024 This product has been so helpful in making our pastoral care systems more manageable and more efficient. Our whole team can stay up to date on each member we are caring for without waiting. It makes collaboration easier and we are able to communicate needs and work together to meet them. Most of our team onboarded very easily and is using Notebird as a part of their daily routine. We are so grateful for this tool that is helping us care for our members and not let people fall through the cracks! Pros The pulse indicators that we can set at desired times - these are very helpful. I like the option to view by people or by activity. I like that I can follow certain people and that I can not only archive, but I can Unarchive someone to bring back all of the notes from a previous time period. Cons The limited number of groups we can create. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Chaplain Entertainment ### "An indispensable tool for employee care " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 19, 2024 Exceptional and indispensable tool when caring for people. Many times it has saved me when I was trying to recall an event, encounter, or detail of a person's life. Pros This application cuts out the clutter of a church / employee management software while also allowing multiple users to record content. Cons The reporting has room for improvement in data manipulation. Having a user defined dropdown list in profiles would be helpful. Switched from [Zoho Creator](https://www.capterra.com/p/211755/Zoho-Creator/) As an absolute database novice I was attempting to create my own employee care database and tracking with Zoho. It was nearly identical to Notebird but had a completely inefficient user interface. Desperate for a better solution, I was intensely searching when I read an article several years old about pastoral care which mentioned use of Care Notebook. Notebird's predecessor. The rest is history. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Pastor Religious Institutions ### "Pastoral Care Must-Have " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 19, 2024 Pros 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. Cons 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.

Pros This site helps us to keep track of our members, to know what is going on in their lives and health, and to have a team who can track and reach out to those in need.

It makes my job as a pastor so much easier. Pros Very easy to create notes, reminders, tasks, etc keep track of my parishioners' needs. I like that I can generate reports showing the kinds of visits I do as well. Cons I wish there was an app instead of just going to the website, but it is still very easy to use.

Pros 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. Cons 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.
