After losing the app I’d been using for years (got a new phone and app no longer exists) I found myself searching for a new one. This is probably the first app that I’ve downloaded and not deleted within 5 mins. Simple and clean and I love the little motivating words. Didn’t know I needed that until I now have it! My only suggestion right now would be adding a field where time can be typed in and not just selected from the drop down. For someone like me who would like to add my time for months that have passed, it’s a bit tedious to have to add hours 20 or 23 at a time. So for 50 hrs, I had to add 20, submit, another 20, submit and then 10. If I had more than 50 hrs, it was more entries. A text box would’ve simplified that process so much. Still a great app and hopefully one I can use for years to come. Thank you for your hard work in creating it!

Thanks for the kind words,I might consider adding a ‘backfill’ step as part of onboarding that allows you to easily dump hours into the current service year.Currently though, the experience is optimized for day-to-day service and this time entry should be a non issue.Thanks for the suggestion though and I hope you continue to love the app!Best,Levi
Love, but…

I love the customization of this app for hours! It is great seeing time spent in all areas of my ministry and the contact area and mapping are superb!! The thing that is not seeming to work is the exporting of service time to the app our congregation uses. It’s in the list and the arrow is lit so that it seems it should share, but I don’t see it in the congregation app. There isn’t really a FAQ section on the app, so maybe I can get it answered here. I do love the features so much that I can deal with double entering if need be… just really hoping the export thing works for simplicity sake 🙏

App suggestion?

Hello, this app looks pretty nice and easy to use. I just downloaded it but have not used it yet. I definitely like the maps section and variety of colored pins to see who has not been contacted in some time, or who has recently been contacted, etc. I would like to suggest maybe having a clock/timer, especially for the pioneers, so that we can keep track of our time. Overall, I am looking forward to trying out the app.
Developer Response
Hi! I’m glad you had a great first impression.Thanks for the suggestion! Although I could add a timer functionality to the app, each person’s time tracking needs vary, some can’t use timers due to the nature of how they do service. If I were to add a timer, it would want it to be the best experience possible. However, currently the default iOS clock app / Siri is the best timer experience. I recommend using this instead.After your day is finished, you can simply input your time entry based your own personal time tracking preferences.I hope you understand and I hope you continue to enjoy the app!Levi
Very nice but…

Very smooth and easy to use app. But saving pinned location doesn’t always save to the accurate location. I tested it out on my own location before using and it first saved to a address a few apartments down then to the correct apt then again to a few apts down again. I’m just worried in real time if I go to pin a location it may save the wrong address. It would be a nice feature otherwise to save time when out in the ministry. For now I will stick to typing addresses in to be safe.
Developer Response
Thanks for your review! I’ve tried to replicate this issue but I am unable to. Unfortunately due to certain regions, mapping geocoding information may not be 100% precise. There is an option in the app to override the pin location to put your own. I hope this helps! - Levi
