Return Visits – Field Service helps you remember the people you meet in your ministry — and pick up every conversation right where it left off. Keep your return visits and Bible studies in one private place: who you spoke with, where they live, what you talked about, and when to go back. When the month ends, your field service report is ready in a tap. No feeds, no streaks, no scores — just the next conversation, ready when you are. REMEMBER EVERY RETURN VISIT • Create a contact in seconds — at the door, or later from notes. • Log each visit with the outcome, your ministry notes, and any literature you left. • Mark who has become a Bible study, and fix or remove a visit you logged by mistake. • If a call interrupts you mid-form, what you typed is waiting when you come back. YOUR MONTHLY REPORT, READY • A Report tab gathers what you need for your field service report: Bible studies, hours, and whether you shared in the ministry. • Log your hours by category and set a monthly or service-year goal. Don't report hours? Turn time tracking off — your monthly report stays a tap away on the dashboard. • Copy or share your report in one tap. Only your totals, plus any comment you add, are shared — never contact names or visit notes. NEVER MISS THE NEXT CONVERSATION • A gentle dashboard suggests who to see next: by momentum, by distance, or by how long it has been. • Set a reminder right after a visit; the Coming up list and snooze keep you on schedule. FIND YOUR WAY BACK • See your return visits on a map and get directions in Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze. • No street address? Save a spot as GPS coordinates, a Plus Code, or a pasted map link. • Share an address with a ministry companion by text message. BRING YOUR RECORDS WITH YOU • Import contacts from your phone, or bring over your records from a My Time backup. • Make an encrypted backup, protected by a recovery phrase only you keep. YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS • Everything is encrypted on your device. After sign-in, the app works fully offline (the map needs a connection). • Your contacts and notes never reach our servers — you hold the only key. • No ads. No tracking of the people you visit. MADE WITH CARE • In English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. • Most things are three taps away. • Full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and accessibility support.
