Sign in with Apple

Section titled “Sign in with Apple”

Tap Sign in with Apple («Mit Apple anmelden»). The first time, the app asks for your name and date of birth under Almost done («Fast fertig»). Signing in with Apple is not yet available in the browser.

Under 16?

Section titled “Under 16?”

Then the app rejects the registration and tells you from when you can register. After that, registration on this device stays blocked for 24 hours. Special protection rules apply until 18, see Protection of minors.

The first three steps

Section titled “The first three steps”

After your first sign-in, the app guides you through three questions. You can skip any step with Skip («Überspringen») and catch up later.

  1. What are you looking for? («Was suchst du hier?») Choose one or more:
    • Add my church («Meine Kirche angeben»): see what is happening at your church.
    • Find a church («Eine Kirche finden»): new in town or looking. This also turns on “I’m looking for a church”, which is private and can be turned off at any time.
    • Plan with friends («Mit Freunden planen»): game night, a service, going together.
  2. Your church («Deine Kirche»): search by name or place and tap your church. You can pick several. Below, you can follow individual ministries (for example “Youth”) to see their dates.
  3. Find friends («Freunde finden»): search by name or @username and tap Send request («Anfrage senden»). If you received an invite link to a group, open it again afterwards and you will land directly in the group.

Done («Fertig») takes you to the start screen.

Signing in and passwords

Section titled “Signing in and passwords”
  • Sign in: Sign in with email, then email and password.
  • Forgot password? («Passwort vergessen?») Tap the link, enter your email and then Send link («Link senden»). If there is an account with this address, you receive a link to set a new password.
  • Change password: Profile → Settings → Change password («Passwort ändern»).
