What’s New

Version 3.1.0

This is a reasonably big release with a number of changes related to the new reporting guidelines.

ServicePlanner now allows you to optionally hide "hours" and show ticks on the monthly calendar and annual report, supporting the overall focus switch from counting time while still encouraging you to plan your ministry.

## New Features

- Toggle a months reporting between "Shared in Ministry" or "Full Hours" mode using the new button next to Send Report.
- Option to hide hours on the Activity Calendar and show a tick instead. Toggle this from the top/right menu option on the Activity screen.
- Option to hide the Placements, Videos and RVs on the Activity screen. Otherwise they are greyed out but still visible for access to the detail screens.
- You can set the default reporting mode in Settings > Reporting. Otherwise you can change it month-by-month, for example when auxiliary pioneering.

## Issues Fixed

- Fixed issue with service year date range in some time zones.
- Fixed issue with backup reminders.
- Fixed the annual hours summary bar sometimes including carried minutes.
- Fixed issue reporting credit hours vs max hours.
- Further refinements to the Dropbox sync rules.

## Other

- You can now send your report via NW Publisher.
- iOS 14 now required.

Great app

I’ve been using this app for a few months now. It’s the best ministry app I’ve used. The icons for the literature was the initial draw for me but having used it for a while now Its great that every thing flows so easily. The return visits section is so comprehensive and informative.
The only thing I would like in the next update is additional schedules. Sometimes I work one week on and one off. Or I may be on the Metropolitan every other week. I’m sure this will come. In the meantime thanks for making my ministry so much easier.

Best app I've found for Service/RV planning

So glad I found this as I'd almost resigned to building something myself. This has great functionality and a modern sleek look. Planning and writing up calls can be done with great ease and the projected hours is very helpful. The fact it has Dropbox sync sets it apart.

Would love to see a facility in the future where pioneers could factor in future holiday time and see how that impacts on the year goal : )

Highly recommended.

Great app

Makes it very easy to keep a record of my ministry, time and RV's. Also as I do other sacred service it allows me to record that as well and automatically enters it on my report, before this I had to use two apps. It's GPS is accurate to making light work of recording RV. Would recommend this app.
