### 4/5 — Adding articles

*2026-06-18*

It would be good if we were able to add publications for years before 2021. I am trying to add a watchtower for 2019 but the app does not allow me to add it without the Issue date.
Error: ‘Invalid Issue Need to have a value’.

### 4/5 — font size

*2024-09-17, version 3.1.0*

I wish the apps have font size for people who is not in good sight.

### 4/5 — Enviar o relatório

*2024-08-14, version 3.1.0*

Olá, parabéns pelo aplicativo, facilidade de uso e tradução para o português do Brasil. Por favor gostaria de informar que no momento de enviar o relatório sempre está aparecendo a frase “ Shared in Ministry: No “ mesmo quando tenho horas informadas, então gostaria de sugerir a correção, tradução (Em português poderia ser: Participação no Ministério: Sim, ou Não). Outra opção poderia ser a possibilidade de deixar a mensagem salva para ser usada no momento de enviar. Saudações.

### 4/5 — Best IOS Ministry App!

*2023-11-19*

I’ve been struggling to find an app that I like since having to stop using my previous one. This is by far the best app available for IOS. I’m hoping that a few more features could be added soon and it would be even better. I’d love to see it updated so that I can turn off tracking of publications/videos etc or turn it on for personal use. And I’d love to have the option of seeing my calendar view in the Home Screen instead of another tab. This app has so many features that are customizable and I love that. The mapping of RVs is also spot on. Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Grazie!

*2023-09-19, version 3.0*

Grazie per i tuoi sforzi

### 5/5 — Final found a good app!

*2023-08-08, version 3.0*

I was looking for a goo reliable app. I came across this one and it’s just what I was looking for. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Fantastic for field service

*2023-07-17, version 3.0*

Great for busy people that appreciate planning and organization for their personal field ministry. Dropbox sync works good for iPad to iPhone, although the data doesn’t refresh if both apps are open at the same time, so I have to close one and then re-open to see the changes from the other device. Would love iCloud Drive, but understand from the developer Dropbox is the only option for now.

7/17/23 - Review Update
Still loving this app. When my RV is NH I love that it automatically carries over my notes for that visit to the next! I appreciate the activity planning for meeting my personal ministry goals and I’ve become a bit of an evangelist for the app with the other publishers in my congregation. 

If I make changes on my phone and then go to my iPad, I do still need to close and re-launch the app to see the latest data. Not expected, but a working solution that as long as I’m aware of is fine.

I would LOVE to see the ability to run ServicePlanner on my 15” MacBook Air M2.

### 5/5 — Fantastic for field service

*2023-06-01*

Great for busy people that appreciate planning and organization for their personal field ministry. Dropbox sync works good for iPad to iPhone, although the data doesn’t refresh if both apps are open at the same time, so I have to close one and then re-open to see the changes from the other device. Would love iCloud Drive, but understand from the developer Dropbox is the only option for now.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback! Just to clarify about the sync - it will work fine while the app is open on both devices. It doesn’t happen real time, you may need to wait up to 120 seconds max for changes to push from one device and be pulled onto the other. When you background or open the app it forces an immediate sync. Hope that clarifies things.

### 5/5 — Extremely well designed ministry tool

*2023-05-29, version 3.0*

This is one of the best tools that I have tried for use in the ministry. Intuitive and easy to use. It is clear that tremendous amount of time was spent developing and improving this. Keep up the good work!

### 4/5 — Great service app

*2023-05-11, version 3.0*

This app is one of the best on iOS fulfill service tracking. It does everything you will need to do. The only thing I would like to see is integration with NW publisher so we can send reports right in

### 5/5 — Functional design 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2023-01-28, version 2.6.8*

Just the right balance between “bells & whistles” and the important elements required for planning and tracking our ministry.
I especially use the Look Up Address feature. It is pretty good at suggesting a correct address and saves quite a lot of typing.

### 5/5 — Really great field service app

*2022-11-13*

This continues to be my favorite field service app. It really serves me well as a pioneer, keeping track of my return visits and reminding me when I'm due to make them. I continue to find new things I can do with the app. Well worth the investment.
The only thing lacking for me is a way to manually add territories so I can keep track of them in the app as well.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The only way currently to add territories is via the integration with TerritoryHelper. I have further ideas for the future but they will not surface in the short term. All the best!

### 5/5 — Service Planner App

*2022-11-06, version 2.6.8*

I just want to say that the developer has done a fantastic job! The design of the app is so organized and easy to navigate. He has covered every aspect of our ministry. Thanks to Jah!!! 

From a Happy Pioneer.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2022-10-28*

I’ve had this app for awhile and only used it to record time. Now that I’m pioneering I’m taking advantage of a lot more features. This has been invaluable in keeping me on track. I can immediately see what adjustments  I need to make and then easily do so. Plus being able to group my RVs by neighborhood saves me from driving back and forth… I can easily see everyone I need to visit in one particular area. 
Thanks to the developer for the practicality of the app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, it is great to see that the features are working for you and helping with your pioneering! All the best.

### 4/5 — Der Abschluss der Sache, nachdem man alles gesehen hat…

*2022-10-16*

…ist: das ist die beste App dafür!
Habe so ziemlich alles getestet und für mich ist Service Planer super. Selbst seit 2019 (DSGVO) immer noch.
Einzig hätte ich gern die Möglichkeit sowohl PD- und LDC- als auch Remote-Stunden einzutragen, also eine dritte Zeit-Art.

### 5/5 — Love This App

*2022-10-04, version 2.6.5*

Every thing is working great. I really enjoy using Service Planner. I have the opportunity to play videos and put pictures of literature I have placed. GREAT APP. ONE SMAII THINGS THE APP HAS A RED 1, ON IT THAT WANT GO A WAY. WHY?

### 4/5 — Только за работу

*2022-03-25*

Жаль, что нет возможности попробовать. Посмотреть приложение можно только заплатив. Купив, обнаружил, что в приложении нет нужных функций. Покупка была бесполезной. Оценка поставлена за работу над приложением.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Leider wird das Problem nicht wirklich identifiziert, daher bin ich mir nicht sicher, was ich verbessern oder ändern soll. Ich bin zuversichtlich, dass die App genau das liefert, was in der App Store-Beschreibung beschrieben wird, daher sollte es keine Verwirrung über die angebotenen Funktionen geben. Und es gibt viele Nutzer der App, die damit sehr zufrieden sind. Wenn Sie mir spezifischeres Feedback geben möchten, senden Sie bitte eine E-Mail an support@serviceplanner.me. Nebenbei bemerkt, Apple hat einen Rückerstattungsprozess im App Store – also nutze diesen bitte, um dein Geld zurückzubekommen. Danke noch einmal.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, it does not really identify what the problem is, so I am not sure what to improve or change. I am confident that the app delivers exactly what is described in the App Store description, so there should not be any confusion about the features offered. And there are many users of the app that are very happy with it. If you want to give me more specific feedback please do email support@serviceplanner.me. As a side note Apple does have a refund process on the App Store - so please use that to get your money back. Thanks again.

### 1/5 — Cannot link territory helper

*2023-02-22, version 3.0*

When I heard about this app I thought it was amazing but when I downloaded it and tried to import my territory from territory helper, as I logged in it kicked me out. I tried to do it multiple times but I’m not able to import my territory at all.

### 1/5 — Would be five stars not customizable

*2021-02-26, version 2.5.1*

Cant make anything custom idk how much time that take for a developer to add but c’mon man this isn’t for anyone BUT witnesses which is cool but thought I would be able to utilize epic fail emailed developer for a update on custom inputs

### 1/5 — App will not open

*2019-03-08, version 2.2.4*

I was really enjoying this app but it is not opening ,and it’s been about 3 days.All my info is in there and I cannot retrieve it. I have reset my iPad several times as a YouTube video said to do but nothing is happening.PLEASE HELP!

### 1/5 — Trop de crash

*2018-11-13*

La plus chère mais une des meilleures applications du genre! Malheureusement elle crash régulièrement, l’écran se fige (sur plusieurs appareils). Présent également 1 problème d’affichage du rapport en français (nombre de visite juxtaposées avec l’intitulé). 
Une fois ces problèmes résolut elle donnera tout son potentiel avec quelques améliorations comme par exemple:
* avoir un système plus visuel pour les objectifs (comme plusieurs cercle par exemple comme le font d’autre application)
* lors du rdv pris pour une visite avoir un pop up pour insérer ce rdv dans notre calendrier si on le souhaite. 
* avoir la possibilité de modifier un filtre qu’on a crée (pas seulement son nom mais aussi ses critères). 

Un grand merci déjà quand les bug seront résolu!

Maj 13/11/18
App de moins en moins utilisable. Malgré la mise à jour qui a résolu quelques crash d’autre problème sont apparu:
La page du détail des contacts sont vierge. Obligé de faire une extinction du téléphone ou reset Ram pour que ça fonctionne à nouveau. 
Téléphone: iPhone 5s. 
L’app est excellent malheureusement pour l’instant ces bug rendent l’app peu pratique.

### 1/5 — No está en Español

*2017-09-05, version 1.1.1*

La he comprado por que en la descarga de la app pone idiomas: español.... y solo está en inglés. La información es erronea. Como me devuelve el dinero.

### 2/5 — Bug

*2021-03-06, version 2.5.1*

La app comincia a presentare bug sulla registrazione delle ore e delle visite che non compaiono più. Penso non sia più supportata

### 2/5 — Map malfunctioning

*2019-08-15, version 2.4.0*

What happened? I used to navigate to my RV right from the app, but now it no longer works.

### 2/5 — Sconsigliata, lenta

*2018-12-04, version 2.2.3*

Costa tanto ed è molto lenta😩. Mi dispiace dirlo perché speravo che l’unica app che funziona con Territory helper funzionasse meglio. Lenta con diversi bug che ti obbligano al riavvio dell’app! Provata su iPhone 6 e 7 .. assorbe troppa energia e scarica in fretta la batteria. Mi ha contattato il programmatore, molto gentile e disponibile per sistemare problemi dell’app, spero migliori perché l’idea è ottima ma va ancora ottimizzata bene. Per adesso 2 stelle in attesa di metterne 5! 😉

### 3/5 — Please do different colors for other hours

*2024-10-31*

Schade das der Woche plan nicht in die Planung der Stunden übernommen wird. So muss man jeden Wochentag einzeln nochmal mit der Stunden Anzahl als geplant einstellen

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Ich hoffe, ich interpretiere es richtig, aber Sie können Ihre geplanten Stunden bereits in Ihren Kalender eintragen – das ist der ganze Sinn der geplanten Stunden, die unter Einstellungen > Zeitplan festgelegt werden. Sie müssen jedoch das Menü oben rechts auf dem Aktivitätsbildschirm verwenden und dann auf „Täglichen Zeitplan anwenden“ klicken. Auf der Website gibt es dazu auch ein Schulungsvideo, aber leider auf Englisch. Wenn Sie Hilfe mit dieser Funktion benötigen oder wenn ich das Feedback falsch verstanden habe, wenden Sie sich bitte an mich unter support@serviceplanner.me. Alles Gute.

----

Thanks for your feedback. I hope I am interpreting correctly, but you can already apply your scheduled hours to your calendar - that is the entire point of the scheduled hours being set in Settings > Schedule. But you have to use the menu top/right of the Activity Screen, and then "Apply Daily Schedule". There is also a training video on the website about this, but in English sorry. If you need help with this feature, or if I have misunderstood the feedback, please reach out to me using support@serviceplanner.me. All the best.

### 3/5 — Can’t open it

*2024-01-23, version 3.1.0*

I love this app for my RVs and keeping track of my activity, but today it won’t open. I get the blue screen but nothing comes up. I’ve rebooted my iPad, but nothing. Any ideas?

### 5/5 — Excellent Cust support

*2026-01-08, version 3.1.1*

My only complaint is there’s no android version. My friends mostly have android phones but they love the app when I show it off to them.
I love the backup feature.

### 5/5 — Horas y Revisita

*2025-09-29, version 3.1.1*

Excelente aplicación

### 5/5 — Excellent app for foreign language field service. Syncs to NW Publisher

*2025-06-09*

I like the way the app allows you to add your field service activity for the previous months. It’s the only app I could find that allowed me to add my activities from my old app and phone. Also, the ability to use gps to locate my return visits is extremely helpful in the ASL field. It also syncs with NW Publisher! Nice feature!

### 5/5 — You will love it

*2025-05-30*

Don’t be put off by the small charge for this excellent field service app. The clean interface makes recording easy. I especially like the address look up feature that enters that info for me. Much faster than my fat fingers can type.  Other features also excellent and make this app worth every penny. Been using for several years and have found no other as well designed.

### 5/5 — GREAT APP FOR SERVICE

*2025-01-05, version 3.1.0*

I have used many apps for service before, but this Service Planner is definitely one of the best yet.  I have been using it for many years now, and just want to Thank You for putting such a useful Service Planner to make our service activity go smoother. RM

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2024-09-02, version 3.1.0*

I’ve been using and referring this app to many friends. It helps me to get organized and track my progress. The color coding of the notes is an added bonus! The only thing I wish this app had was the synchronization between devices.

### 5/5 — My Favorite Service App

*2024-08-23*

I love this app! Out of the few I’ve used, this has been the best. One thing I do miss is having a widget to start my time. I know we can hold the app and start it there but it always opens the app when I do that, so a widget might be better to start and stop the time from there. Thank you for making this!

### 5/5 — Mac comparability would be great!

*2024-02-09, version 3.1.0*

I’d love to be able to use my favorite service planner on my MacBook with Apple Silicon. That would be super! Thank you for this amazing app and keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Just checking...

*2023-11-20, version 3.0*

Thanks soooo soooo much this amazing app!! It is extremely helpful. I wish I could give TEN STARS!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Just checking... as we're moving forward with the blessing of our new simplified FS report, and won't be reporting placements / RV / videos / etc, I wanted to ask if those fields will still be able in the app... 

For instance, it's helpful to know which videos have been shared with a return visit / Bible student, just for my personal records and so I know what the student is working on...

### 5/5 — Update for new reporting

*2023-10-24, version 3.0*

Will you be updating this soon? Thanks
