Service-Buddy was specifically developed for the ministry. The app helps you record your service time in a clear and organized way while keeping a calm and understandable view of your personal progress. At the center is a clean monthly and yearly overview. You can instantly see on which days you were in the ministry, how many hours you spent, and how your month is developing overall. Special hours (LDC, construction, Bethel), Bible studies, and additional details are also displayed clearly. Service-Buddy helps you keep your personal hour goal in sight. Progress indicators gently and encouragingly show how close you are to your goal, without pressure, simply as helpful guidance. Completed months can be marked so everything remains properly documented. You can also export your data anytime or create backups. The app is suitable for both publishers and pioneers and flexibly adapts to your situation. Goals, roles, and evaluations can be customized individually. Another advantage: Service-Buddy is available in nearly 40 languages, allowing brothers and sisters from many countries to use it: German, English, Italian, Spanish, French, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Greek, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Czech, Romanian, Croatian, Albanian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Tagalog, Hausa, Swahili, Wolof, Yoruba, Persian, Hindi, as well as British English and Belgian German. Additionally, 8 dialects are supported: Austrian German, Bavarian, Hessian (requested by Anna), Swabian, Colognian, Saxon, Low German, Sicilian and Neapolitan. The interface is intentionally kept simple so the focus remains on the ministry, not on complicated technology. Service-Buddy is also continuously expandable. New features or adjustments can be added when needed, allowing the app to grow with your needs without becoming cluttered.
