Go together
A first visit to a church feels easier when you don’t go alone. Every church date has two tools for this: the RSVP and “Go together?”.
RSVP or show interest
Section titled “RSVP or show interest”- Open a date, for example from a church’s page, the Map or Home → Your churches.
- Tap I’m going («Ich gehe hin») or Interested («Interessiert»). Tapping again undoes your choice.
- Below it says Visible to: Friends («Sichtbar für: Freunde»). Tap it to switch to Only me («Nur ich»).
The church only sees how many are going or interested, never who. Use the date at the top to add it to your calendar.
All your RSVPs are under Home → Up next and in the Dates section. The app reminds you shortly before the date.
Places and registration deadline
Section titled “Places and registration deadline”Some dates have limited places. They then show, for example, “12 of 20 places” or Fully booked («Ausgebucht»). Church dates have no waiting list; Interested is still possible. With a deadline it says “Registration until …”; after that I’m going is no longer possible. Cancelling is always possible.
See which friends are going
Section titled “See which friends are going”The Friends section shows which friends are going or interested, if they made this visible to friends. Yachad doesn’t show strangers’ names.
“Go together?”
Section titled ““Go together?””If you said yes and friends are going too, Go together? («Zusammen gehen?») appears next to their names.
- Tap Go together?
- Choose the friends. Everyone who is going is already selected.
- Tap Ask («Fragen»).
This creates a small plan just for you, with RSVPs and comments. Your friends get the question “Shall we go to {date} together?” and can say yes. Discuss meeting point or carpool in the plan or in WhatsApp.
If you already have a plan for this date, the button says Invite to plan («Zum Plan einladen»). It invites all friends who are going and are not in it yet directly.
Planning with a friend group
Section titled “Planning with a friend group”Under Your plans for it («Deine Pläne dazu»), tap Plan with friend group («Mit Freundesgruppe planen») and choose a group. This creates a group plan “Together: {date}”. Whoever says yes there is also signed up for the church’s date. The church only sees the number, no names.
If you are signed up via a plan, the date shows Signed up via your plan («Angemeldet über euren Plan»). You then cancel in the plan.
Share a date, also with friends without the app
Section titled “Share a date, also with friends without the app”At the top right of a date’s page, tap Share, for example to WhatsApp. For friends with Yachad, the link opens the date directly in the app. Everyone else sees a page in the browser with church, place and time.
