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?

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.

The report submission is much more convenient. We just hope the scheduled meeting midweek and weekend has an option for Cebuano. It's okay if the language on the entire app is english, just the midweek and weekend will be on Cebuano please. That would be very, very nice.

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

No option to signing In using a different account, it chooses any account associated with the device that it likes. At least allow a user to signin using a different account or custome email and password not strictly Gmail.
