## What is My Ministry?

This app is a simple time and placement tracker for you to record your field ministry statistics.   

You can track your Placements, Videos Shown, Return Visits and Bible Studies.  Please note - the study field is for total number of different studies conducted that month, count a return visit for each time conducting the study.

Your monthly progress for the year can be easily visualized with the line graph.  Totals for the year are current YTD and averages are included for the months you have reported.

Pioneers can also tract "Credit Hours" for RBC projects, pioneer school etc (To enable that tracking, please toggle the pioneer switch to on).  When indicating you are a pioneer, the new box "Credit Hours" will appear.  It will be included in your progress for the year, up to maximum allotted credits.  Please set up your yearly hour goal, and then after reporting, you will be shown how many hours ahead/behind you are of your annual goal to date.

Enter secretary or group overseer information and email/text your report each month directly from the app.  Monthly reminder included.

You have the ability to customize the color to your preferences.

My Ministry is designed to be extremely simple, open, enter time, exit.  To keep it simple, a single service year is shown at a time.  If you would like to look at previous service years, you can do that as well.  There are two arrows on the Service Year tab which allow you to move between service years.  This will allow you to select the year you want, scroll to any month in the that year and submit it, or look at your averages, graph, etc.  

********previous service year info*************
Your data is not gone - just grouped by service year.  For those that can't seem to find the previous service year. Please use the arrow keys to switch years. Then you can scroll through the months in the service year and select the month you wish to see.  
Please go to www.purringpigeon.com for full details on how to see this.

### 5/5 — Issue with Dropbox Backup

*2022-01-15*

I’ve been using this for years and I love this app!!   Easy even to keep track of who I have service plans with or the time we will be starting 

Since the update, I am not able to backup to Dropbox and the app will crash so I hope there is an update for that. 
Still… 5 star app all the way!

### 1/5 — Restore problems

*2021-04-20*

I have backed up to Dropbox my app on my
older phone, iPhone XR. I downloaded the app to my new phone, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and connected it to my Dropbox app. But when I go to restore the info to my ministry app it only gives the option to back up and not restore from what’s already there. How do I transfer my records to the new phone??

### 3/5 — Okay, some glitches

*2021-04-18*

I’m unable to view my yearly stats. Works okay otherwise though

### 4/5 — No carryover

*2021-01-04*

This app used to carry over a half hour for me (except for a new service year of course). But now it doesn’t seem to do it. Not sure why. Otherwise very simple. Love being able to take a few notes about my day so I can remember things better.

### 5/5 — Difficulties

*2020-10-23*

Today I can’t open my app. I found that it requires 13 iOS or something (I’m not that smart, I’m 60) but my phone has 12. How come it worked before?

### 3/5 — Phone not compatible with update. Lost info

*2020-02-07*

My operating system is no longer compatible with the app. Now I can access my time:-( what can I do.

### 4/5 — Credit hour field is missing

*2020-01-19, version 1.6.3*

I love this app but have not been able to keep track of LDC credit hours because there is no field for it. My daughter downloaded it to her phone and it is there but I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled- still no credit hours field!  Help!  I have an iPhone XR, previously an 8+

Update:  The field is absent by design if you are not pioneering and the developer contacted me with that info directly (thank you!). However, as a publisher I may not get “credit hours” for LDC work, but I do have to account for that time on my report and it becomes part of my record.  I would argue that it needs to be available to all as it is in other apps now. Thank you

**Developer response:** You need to toggle the pioneer setting on the setting tab. Only pioneers can report credit hours so it’s only visible for pioneers.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2019-03-31*

I love this app but would you be able to let us make an account so if we have to delete we can sign back in and our information will still be there?

**Developer response:** You can create a DropBox account for free and back up to DropBox within the app. Hope that helps.

### 4/5 — How do I add background/text colors?

*2018-12-28*

I love this app since I don’t need one to keep track of RVs etc.  still old school.  I cannot figure out how to apply the background/text colors I have chosen.  Please help me.  Thanks.

**Developer response:** Once you adjust the slider to the colors you want just press the text that says Set Color.

### 5/5 — So Helpful - Thank You!

*2018-12-07*

I’m someone who finds it really difficult to keep up with my time mostly because math is stressful for me and I have a math disability so having this app as a new pioneer has been so helpful to feel confident keeping my time I am so grateful to the developer my brother thank you so much! Having the text message feature is awesome too! 😊
