It be great if it had a place for notes on the dates and place to write down your return visits and addresses. ### 5/5 — Minutos *2024-09-21, version 1.1.70* Me gusta mucho la app, simple y fácil de entender. Solo una cosa que en la meta de horas yo quiero poner 30 pero no puedo pq cuando agrego por ejemplo: 2 horas el martes automáticamente serían 8 horas en 4 martes. Esta opción no me deja agregar mis 30 horas me paso o me quedo corta en las horas de 30. No me deja agregar minutos en la meta de horas, como podría hacerlo? ### 5/5 — Great *2024-04-22, version 1.1.70* This app is GREAT and simple you can easily add your hours,minutes,Bible students, and more on this app. ### 5/5 — Great app to keep your time *2024-04-18, version 1.1.70* I love it, very easy to use.

Thank you for creating this app. ### 5/5 — Ministry App *2023-04-12, version 1.1.70* I love love this app. It’s not complicated and has everything a pioneer need. It’s motivating because it’s easy😍 Thank you so very much!!! ### 5/5 — A simple and effective app for recoding and sending your reports. *2023-03-28, version 1.1.70* It’s simple and easy to use. Anyone can use it to record, keep track of your monthly and yearly goals. Although, It does not have a timer, it’s good for ministry record keeping. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not for me *2025-05-30, version 1.1.70* Can’t figure it out ### 1/5 — Support *2021-01-25, version 1.1.2* I’m new to IOS, and trying to link my iPad and iPhone in iCloud. But, it’s not easy to figure out. I had this app on my phone first, and when I added it to my iPad it wiped out all the saved information in the app on my phone. Where is the backup, and the support button in this app doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Nice app. *2020-03-01, version 1.0.6* Is it possible for you to include in the app a column to state miscellaneous information and which literature placed even specific videos and placements in paper format? I’ve given a one star as I’ve just started using it and it appears to be good app and I’ll get a better rating with future uses. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Calendar *2025-05-29, version 1.1.70* I loved using this app. So easy, keeps tract of so many things. But when I went to check my time for the month, everything not just this month but for the service year is all GONE! Vanished! Just used it last night. ### 2/5 — Missing parts of program *2021-06-01, version 1.1.2* There is no way to enable “family sharing”, no place to tap for it. no way to preset a few words to the service report, the “support” can’t be reached by taping “support”. Maybe I have an old version that was still in the programming stage. ### 3/5 — Ok App *2023-01-02* There’s a few things I want to say. I was hoping that I could send my report to hour glass but it doesn’t give me the option. I also wish it had a timer to start your time. A place to write down your returns and placements and comments of the call. It’s also not so easy to use. ### 3/5 — Would LOVE this app if *2022-07-14* … the goals section had hours and minutes. For some days of the week there are set times for meetings for service that would almost always end on the half hour. Like a Friday goal would be 2.5 hours not 2 and not 3. If you fix that I would love this app, but as it stands I can’t use it at all because it does not allow for realistic goal planning. I understand it’s only a half hour difference but that adds up when you extend it out for the month and year. ### 3/5 — Minutes problem *2021-10-09, version 1.1.2* The app added extra 30 min, in next month from no where. Why? What should I do? ### 3/5 — Still learning I’m a senior student *2021-09-11, version 1.1.2* But everything considered, my age and all, I’m enjoying the learning process and am excited everytime I understand something better. I say “hooray”. Jehovah is with me on this. I’m looking forward to a wonderful pioneer year. ### 3/5 — Monthly goal *2020-12-26, version 1.1.2* This works nicely. I don’t know if someone has made this suggestion, but I would like a monthly goal added. I know you can add hours for each day but since my schedule changes a monthly goal would be perfect. Thank you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Ministry App *2026-03-10* I have always loved the simple layout. But I especially love the new update with all the color options and the breakdown of credit hour choices. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-11-02, version 1.1.70* This app is so easy and work very nice.
