I am pleased to present you the Elders Plus app, This app has all the benefits of the Elders-Congregation app. Only this version has synchronization and the feature of sharing the records with other Elders Plus users. It has Push notifications, which means that when you or another guest user of the Elders Plus app changes any data, the app will notify you. This will make the job available to all the elders at the same time. And each Group Superintendent can add the reports of her group and the changes will be reflected to all. Easing the work for everyone and working as a team. It is only necessary to share a single record, by copying the link and sending it by mail, imessage or whatever you want. 1.- Sharing Options / Anyone who has the link 2.- Use the "Copy Link" function directly please. This app works with a hybrid database. This means that the app can be used with the internet and without the internet. I hope that this new tool will make our service in the congregation even more effective. Mac compatibility with Apple silicon Note: Remember that iCloud is a private and encrypted container on each user's Apple ID. No one has access to that data other than the user himself. .
