Disciple Media Reviews

"Community Space"

I like that I'm able to offer social media while knowing what my community wants and needs. The Disciple team is very friendly, responsive and helpful. It's a powerhouse of a platform. And, it looks amazing according to the customizations! There is a growth curve, but that is to be expected. One things I look forward to seeing is the ability to adjust the size of the text via settings on one's device.

"User friendly, open to ideas"

It is incredibly easy to use so anyone, no matter their experience, can dive right in. Plus they offer incredible training and will help you along the way.

Review on Capterra.

"Unpleasant, to be kind"

Lack of integrity from leadership - sold out to our competitors and facilitated them launching before us. We spent hundreds of hours redesigning it, and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] gave us one free month and 1000 members for free (when we only have 100 members, so it's no value at this point, and no cost to him). Be careful.
