Exciting News for Google Cast Users!

When we announced support for Google Cast a few months ago, Android app users had the exciting opportunity to stream their favorite media right to their Chromecast, Android TV, speakers, and other compatible devices.

The convenience of being able to share content from the comfort of your own home was a much anticipated feature. Well, we have an exciting update to share…..We’ve added Google Cast support for iOS!

For groups with a variety of devices, this handy feature will encourage community engagement in a whole new way - allowing bible studies to share clips, community groups to share sermons, music to be played at social gatherings, and much more!

For all current clients: make sure to update your branding in the Subsplash Dashboard to see these changes go live in your app!

For everybody else, call us today to see what other exciting features are available for your own customized app!

3 Reasons Mobile Giving Increases Donations

Generosity thrives when relationship is prioritized. Our passion is to create technology that will help organizations build a stronger connection with their community, which is why the Subsplash Platform is designed with deeper engagement in mind.

Push Notifications, Connect tabs, and Bible Reading Plans, are all features that help your community feel connected to your church or ministry and they are extremely accessible, making it simple for your content to integrate easily into user's daily lives.

Here are 3 reasons why the accessibility, ease, and convenience of mobile giving can increase donations for your organization:

1. Everyone has a phone. 74% of Americans say they write no more than one check per month, and about 80% of Americans carry $50 or less in cash. It's hard to deny that mobile payment is the way of the future. Cultural and societal trends show that mobile technology is the primary way that people are becoming more efficient and streamlined in their day to day activities. 
2. Recurring gifts bring consistency. Subsplash Giving provides users with the option to set up a recurring gift. Church attendance can drop up to 70%+ during the summer, (July 4-Aug 15) which usually means a drop in tithing for those months as well. Recurring giving allows people to continue to tithe even when attendance is impacted by travel or other unexpected circumstances.
3. Apps increase engagement, and engaged audiences are more likely to give. At Subsplash, we know that engaged communities lead to giving communities. When people are engaged and it’s easy to give, people are more likely to give! With Subsplash Giving we’ve made giving in your app simple and effortless.

The Subsplash Giving Dashboard provides a clear picture of where money is going and when. Having one place to access information about all past transactions allows people to easily manage and track their transactions, making them feel more secure and confident in their giving.

We would love to get you started with Subsplash Giving! Let us know how we can serve your church or ministry by getting in touch with us!
