The Meeting Timer app was created so that you can easily time the parts of the "Our Christian Life and Ministry" midweek meeting and the weekend meeting. The purpose of this app is to help midweek chairman as well as speakers to track the duration of speeches and demonstrations. Each week the parts of the sections "Apply Yourself to the Field Ministry" and "Living as Christians" are automatically renewed according to the current meeting workbook "Christian Our Life and Ministry". You can also easily and quickly edit the duration and title of each part in that sections. With a single tap, you can define which publisher is conducting each part. You can save the meetings and review them at any time. You also have the ability to share any meeting you want via message or email. In addition, you can save the publishers who handle the parts of the meetings, and then view information about each publisher individually, such as which parts they have handled and their times. This app is not an official app of Jehovah's Witnesses. If you wish to help translate the app into any language or have something to suggest, you can contact us at meeting.timer.ios@gmail.com.
