Phone Book Module

We have a useful "progressive web app" module we released on Feb 27th 2022 we call the "Phone Book". It is a simple mobile-friendly contact management tool to replace the Brick River app that is longer available in the app stores. Your users can save it to their home screen and use it like an app.

If you are a user, you can add the phone book app to your home screen AFTER you log in. Apple users be sure to use Safari.

This module is for your higher-level Brick River users to look up contact information. People and/or churches.

It's available on one of your websites at: https://www.yourwebsite.com/phonebook.
