Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

The General Synod app is designed for use by members of the General Synod of the Church of England. The app allows members to access a live timetable of events, all the documents relating to the current group of sessions (downloaded to the device in use) and a 'My Synod' section where documents can be marked as favourites for quick reference. Push notifications allow the Synod team to message member's with high priority messages or information, relevant to General Synod. Document notes and settings are synchronised across your different devices. This forms part of the Church of England's desire to make all aspects of General Synod accessible and easy-to-use for all members. The app is designed to be used during sessions of General Synod.
