A beautiful, simple, and easy to use return visit app to assist Jehovah's Witnesses with ministry. This app was designed to be fast and lightweight to quickly add and update your return visits without being bogged down with too many taps. I hope you enjoy using it. This app is NOT an official app from Jehovah's Witnesses. Please feel free to report bugs to me at fgathright@me.com

About

MinistryLog Pro

Features
Read full description

This submission is an update to an existing live app, not a new app launch. Please expedite review for version 1.1.3 (Build 2) so the update can be distributed quickly to current users. It resolves production issues affecting core functionality: map loading/location permission behavior, sign-out/sign-in reliability, and restoration of role-based feature visibility. We respectfully request priority handling due to active user impact. Review Notes Text This binary is a maintenance update for the existing App Store app (v1.1.3, build 2). Purpose: distribute critical post-launch fixes to current users. No business model or policy-sensitive flow changes were introduced; this is a stability/bug-fix release. If you want, I can also give you a 300-character version for the short App Store Connect text field.
