Comments on Hourglass for Android

★★★★★ Eric Rodrigues · Sep 15, 2024

Excellent app. May Jehovah bless the efforts of all brothers or sisters who took time and resources to develop such amazing tool. If I could make a suggestion, we can't include for example deaf people with the rest of the attendance in just one field, like 10/2 for example (being 10 total and 2 deaf). It would be very useful when you have a sign language group in the congregation. I hope this may be fixed soon. Anyway, thank you all so much!

★★★★★ Charlene Rose B. · Apr 14, 2025

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.

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.

Dear Developer, We are having an issue with publishers serving as Auxiliary pioneers this month. They do not have the possibility to report their hours. Is there something we are missing?

★☆☆☆☆ Alex Winney · May 27, 2026

Only allows sign in through Google account and gives "unknown error" every time

★☆☆☆☆ Viagem Pregação · Dec 18, 2025

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

★☆☆☆☆ John Mamba · Sep 8, 2024

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.

Trust & Safety: The app requests location (coarse and fine), network state, calendar access (read/write), phone calls, push notifications, boot completion, biometric usage, wake lock, and related permissions. This is common for productivity tools that integrate calendars and messaging; users should review the necessity of each permission and the invitation-based onboarding flow.
