Dear brothers, thanks for your hard work. This app is indeed very useful. Pls, I wish it would be possible to save the publisher Record into a folder as EDITABLE PDF document, such that the receiving congregation can continue working with it, rather than creating a fresh one, and then copying the transferred details into the new congregation's EDITABLE pdf.

The update added gradients which make reading difficult. The home page has become cluttered by the Report and This Week boxes. If these could be in seperate rows, this would make it less so. Perhaps add an option to choose what to show on the homepage. Also the dark mode is nice and black in the meeting schedule but not on the main tabs. Change the screens with the gradient to look more like the meeting schedule screen with darker background and solid colors and the whole app will be readable.
