Ministry Assistant FAQ

1.Will you make the app for iOS?

I’m sorry, but it takes too much time to support more platforms, so that’s something that I will not do. My estimate is that it would take something like 1000 hours to create the app for iOS.

2.PDF and other files opens with Ministry Assistant？

The problem is that no other app is associated to handle that command. A workaround is to open Ministry Assistant, go to settings, and at the bottom check the option “Disable file association”.

3.Is it possible to read a backup file on a computer?

The short answer is no, since the file is a custom file format, that can only be read by Ministry Assistant. But it’s possible to install an app player, like Bluestacks app player, install Ministry Assistant there and restore the backup file (see question about how to restore a backup file).

4.How do I un-archive a visit？

To take something back from the archive, tap the top left filter button in the page with all visits, and at the bottom, check to show archived visits. After showing all the archived visits, tap the three dots of a visit and select to remove it from the archive.
