### 5/5 — Appreciate your app

*2026-08-07*

A super efficient, easy to use app, I love the encouraging comments, and the address location options, thank you, it makes pioneering so much easier😊

### 5/5 — Good app, but service timer would be helpful

*2026-07-25, version 1.40.0*

This app is easy to use, and helpful for keeping track of calls. However, it would be helpful if a service timer tool — similar to the one in MyTime — were built into the app, which will make it easier for pioneers to keep track of their service time each month.

Thank you for your hard work, brother.

****************

UPDATE: I tried the navigation path you mentioned in your response, but the timer is still not there.

UPDATE 2: I got it. Thanks!
