FSPal is an all-in-one app that helps you manage and organise your field service records, hourly reports, and ministry schedules in one convenient place. Records created has its geolocation stored, enabling you to see where the nearest return visit is wherever you are in the ministry. Data is stored locally on your phone, and only you are responsible for it. Deleting the app will also delete your records. However, there is a backup feature which you can restore at anytime. Want a second set of records outside of FsPal? Sure!! Now, you can export to docx and open in your note taking apps. Happy field service!
