Once you have your mobile app, you will want to be able to keep it up to date, reflecting the life of your church and community.
A lot of the app is automatically updated when you update your iKnow church account.
For instance, the calendar on the app will instantly reflect any changes you make on the Events Calendar
using the browser version of iKnow.
This is the same for the Podcasts
, Ticketing
and Teams
.
