Microsoft Surface ?? Are the full features of the app accessible on an MS Surface tablet? I have a Surface Pro 6 and off of the invite, I can only see my service report but nothing else. On my Android device, I can see everything.

Really wonderful app. Just that in territory, I wish I can sort the territory by street names. Thanks 😁

For Assignments, is there a way to push a notification or accept an assignment for Field Service (the same way as it works for Midweek and Weekend)?

I really like this app. It helps very much in organizing things in the congregation. But I have a suggestion: could it be possible to edit a publisher's info from the field service group tab? If the names there were also clickable zones that link to publisher's data, this would save time when it happens that you need to edit a publisher's info. Instead of moving to the Publishers tab. Also, could it be possible to assign a publisher to a group from the publisher's card?

Hello brothers. We're really enjoying the app. But our android users are experiencing some hiccups. Issue 1 Territory has been uploaded to a Google Drive account and added 1 at a time to hourglass. The link system seems to work but the download button on the interface simply doesn't. Instead, we'd need to click one of the 3 dot icons, go to url, sign in, 3 dots again, download. Way too many steps. Fixing this issue alone would be great. Issue 2 maps available for checkout doesn't work.

App doesn't allow me to edit my profile nor change my login profile when I'm using Google login
