For consistency across platforms, the app received a new look and feel on June 1, 2021 to reflect the current, most up-to-date design when accessing Breeze through a web browser.
If you are looking for a Breezy way to access your Breeze database on the go, consider using the Breeze app. Because the Breeze app is a wrapper of our website, using the app should feel familiar! The look mimics the web based version you are accustom too, along with the functionality you need to complete important ministry tasks, all at the ease of your fingertips.
Sharing the app with your members is a great way to allow them to view information on their profile, to easily give online and to Manage their Recurring Giving, among many other things! (Each user experience may vary a little, as the features available are all based on the unique role permissions you have selected to provide)

If you cannot access an area of Breeze (specifically the Tags) from the Breeze App, and you get a message that says: "You cannot browse this page at "(churchsubdomain).breezechms.com" because it is restricted."
This is more than likely due to the parental restrictive permissions set on the iPhone. Because the Breeze App is technically a wrapper of the website, the parental settings can cause tags to be restricted based on tag names.
