How do you manage who has signed up for your events? Are you old school with a piece of paper and a pen? Do you make a list in Word or Excel? Do you use online registration forms and generate some sort of list?
Here's an option maybe you haven't thought of: Zenbe List or Team Coach.

| Zenbe Lists vs. Team Coach |
Zenbe Lists is a simple online list maker that uses cloud technology to sync your lists from the zenbe website to your mobile devices. I have it installed on my phone, my wife's phone, and my iPad. I have lists of events with students who have registered in them. I also have a list of everyone I have a medical release form for. My wife and I also have our grocery lists so when I run to WalMart to pick up a few game supplies I can do her a favor and grab a few items for her. Costs only $3.99 in iTunes which includes the iPhone and iPad app.
Team Coach is an app built for sport coaches, but it comes in really handy in youth ministry. It allows you to create teams, which I use to create events. Then you add individuals to the teams (events). And last it allows you to create events for your teams, which I use to create events like "Paid" or "Registered" or "Bowling Team #1". Team Coach is only $.99 in iTunes and does not have an iPad specific app, but it runs the iPhone version on the iPad. It doesn't sync and I wish it had a few other enhancements
Neither of these is a perfect solution, but it can make event check-in easier!
