About Ministry

The App Ministry helps Jehovah's Witnesses organize their ministry.

*** IMPORTANT ***
Within the app it is possible to financially support the project and the further development, as I have to pay monthly costs. Since Apple does not allow donation links, in-app purchases are intended for this purpose. By donating an amount of money once, which everyone can choose freely, some additional functions are activated in the app. Of course, a donation is not required to unlock the additional functions. Thank you very much for your support and I hope that the app will help you in your service! :)

Functions of this app are among others:

- GDPR mode: If this mode is activated, the app will only show you areas that are safe in the respective country. Please be sure to enable this feature if you live in a country where you are no longer allowed to record personal information.
- Clear monthly and annual statistics on hours, fees, return visits, videos and studies
- Personalize your app and choose between different beautiful designs
- Send your monthly report conveniently and automatically via email or whatsapp
- For pioneers: complete overview of the current year of service and the last years of service in the archive
- Pioneers see how many hours they are plus or minus in relation to the year
- Setting an individual hourly target
- Transferring minutes: In the new month, the system notes whether there are any remaining minutes in the last month and transfers them to the new month.
- Easy and fast addition of data by easy left or right swiping
- Time recording by stopwatch or manual input
- Intelligent calendar to plan service hours, return visits, studies and service appointments
- iOS Dark Mode
- Load your territory map as a photo into the app so you can take it with you wherever you go. In addition, the app displays an interactive map where you can zoom in and out and move around freely.
- LDC & Remote: Capture LDC & remote hours separately and send them in report with
- Shortened annual target for pioneers: As a pioneer, you have the option of automatically reducing the annual target by the hours entered for LDC or Remote. You can also manually reduce the annual target by any number of hours, e.g. by crediting it after attending the pioneer service school.
- Creation of visits with personal data and the option of creating return visits and/or studies within a clear framework
- Create journal routes with automatic recognition of whether someone has already received the current journal
- Innovative tile system to edit territories and automatically add a visit if someone needs to be visited again
- Graphic, clear bell system for houses with many bells
- Cloud-based system: Your data is always the same on all devices
- Encrypted and secure data storage

Important: This app is cloudbased, so it only works with an internet connection. This has the advantage that the data entered is the same on every device at all times. You have your own account which you can use to log in on any device. You do not have to enter an e-mail address or personal data. For the login, a user name / pseudonym was deliberately chosen, with which you can log in on all your devices.

Dear brothers from Europe,

surely you haven't missed the latest announcements. In this update I say a few words about the current situation and describe how the app will continue - so please update.

Just click on "Allow" after starting the app. From then on you can receive notifications.
1.6.0
May 16, 2019
BIG UPDATE!

Dear brother,

with this version some new features are added! The following is new:

- Dark Mode: Now there is the famous Dark Mode, which Apple will release in the new iOS version, also for Ministry. This doesn't only protect the battery, but also looks very appealing.
- You can now upload your territory card or choose from your photos. Important: It is not saved online, but only offline on your smartphone.
- An interactive map will now appear in your territory, allowing you to zoom in and out. It's automatically created based on your area's data.
- With the new calendar planner, you can enter your theocratic appointments - whether it's return visits, Bible studies, ministry appointments with brothers and sisters, or planning your classes. When entering a return visit, you can now also specify your next planned visit. The calendar remembers this and saves the appointment automatically.
- From now on, if you work in a street, you can forward individual house numbers directly via SMS, Whatsapp or other services. The whole address including the house number will be inserted. This is useful, for example, for foreign-language addresses. Simply wipe the individual house numbers to the right. Have fun trying it out!

After opening the app you will also be redirected to an area where I say a few words about the current situation regarding the development. There are also some announcements.
I am very pleased that you are using Ministry to organize your ministry. I would really appreciate a review of you on the App Store and would be grateful if you could take a little time! :) I wish you continued joy and blessings in your service to Jehovah!

- - The publication "What does the Bible teach us" has been added.

- TERRITORIES:
- - When creating a new house number, you can now directly add an addition, for example "1A". The created data will automatically be sorted correctly.
- - The symbol for "Not interested" has been changed to a more neutral one.

- TRANSLATIONS:

Apr 11, 2019
Dear brother,

with iOS 12.2 a bug has crept in that causes the app to freeze as soon as you select a certain time window in the year overview. I fixed this bug and uploaded an update. In addition, you are now redirected back to the territory if you automatically create a visit from there, so that you can continue working comfortably from there.

1.5.3
Mar 23, 2019
Dear brother,

in this version there were again necessary adjustments, in order not to violate trademark rights. You may have noticed that no new features have been added for some time. Pleasing developments like current wedding preparations, the pioneer service and the work don't allow me to work regularly on "Ministry" at the moment. However, the todo list is still very large and I am sure I will soon find more time to add new features to the app. Until then I ask for your understanding :-)

1.5.2
Feb 15, 2019
Dear brother, in this version the name of the app has been changed from "MinistryJW" to "Ministry" so that no trademark rights are infringed. Also, I just freshened up the logo a bit. Otherwise, I'll take this opportunity to tell you which functions I'm currently working on:

- Group territories: Soon it will be possible to create group areas and invite your brothers who use the app (iOS or Android) to your territory. So you can work on one territory at the same time and in parallel. In this case, the notes are immediately sent to the creator of the territory.
- Photographing an territory map is possible soon.
- Offline mode: I can't say when it will be, but I'm currently working on an offline mode that will allow you to do the complete offline editing. Of course, the data will still be synchronized with the cloud so that it remains the same on all devices.

---- You can now assign a color mark to visits you newly create. The marker will be displayed in the visit overview on the left.
---- Redesign: The detailed view of a visit has been redesigned and now differentiates between the different types of visits in the title screen to see what type of visit it is more quickly

- Added "Frequently Asked Questions" section to make MinistryJW easier to use, especially for new users

- The icons for the ringtones have been slightly enlarged
- In the street view of an territory, the filter "All" has been added next to "Odd" and "Even" and defined as default

1.4.3
Dec 2, 2018
Dear brother, in this version there are a few minor corrections to the last update:

- The haptics have been improved and extended. Supported devices now send haptic signals when manually adding and removing data in the statistics area, in different areas during area processing and in all range sliders.
- Bell system: The order of the colors has been adjusted so that the order is the same as the one you work with in the normal area view. So everything remains in the same style and clear.

Here again the adjustments of the last update:

- Graphical bell system: You now have the possibility to create a clear bell system for house numbers. This is especially advantageous for large houses with many bells. Simply swipe to the left at the desired house number and click on the new icon. Then enter the desired rows and columns. Example: If you enter 4 rows and 3 columns you will get 12 bells. Briefly tap on the bell to change its status, long press on a bell to display further editing options such as removing individual bells. Have fun with the new bell system!

- Improved input for range sliders: The sensitivity of the sliders, for example when entering manual hours, has been greatly improved and now gives a haptic signal at every step.

- iPhone X, iPhone XR & iPhone XS support. Now the app displays well on these smartphones as well

- design adaptations

- Bug Fixing
