If you are in crisis

Good Samaritan is not clinical care. If you need immediate help, call or text 988, or call SAMHSA at 1-800-662-4357. Celebrate Recovery is another resource. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call emergency services.

Tutorial

Using the app from first launch

Good Samaritan is a private Christian stewardship journal on iPhone. You log giving, acts of kindness, and gratitude to God. Sign in with Apple only — the app does not ask Apple for your email. It is not clergy, a CPA, a tax advisor, or a counselor.

  1. 1

    Sign in (Welcome)

    On iPhone, tap Sign in with Apple. The app does not ask Apple for your email or name. Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are linked on this screen.

  2. 2

    Home hub — “Choose a portal”

    This is not a social feed. Nothing you write is posted for other people. The account icon (top left) opens Steward Account: your plan, Plans, Manage Subscription, Privacy / Terms, Sign Out, and Delete Account. One large card: Gratitude Journal. Under Also in your ledger: Giving and Kindness. Milestones marks a long faithfulness — it is not a game. Worship music is an official Spotify embed. Below it you may optionally join a monthly concert, music, and devotionals letter (Kit). That address is not stored in your journal.

  3. 3

    Record gratitude

    Tap Gratitude Journal, enter a short title (required), optionally add a prayer or reflection, choose a category (Family & Health, Provision & Stewardship, Community & Fellowship, Spiritual Growth, or Daily Mercy), then save. Free accounts can save up to 15 gratitude entries. Pro is unlimited.

  4. 4

    Log a donation (Giving)

    Tap Giving. The toggle at the top switches Giving | Kindness. Tap the gold + button, choose Enter Receipt, then fill in the organization, amount, date, and whether it is a 501(c)(3). On Pro, Upload Document attaches a receipt image or PDF. You can download a ZIP of your files and export a CSV/Excel copy of your giving log. Verify every amount and 501(c)(3) checkbox against your original receipts before any tax use.

  5. 5

    Log an act of kindness

    Tap Kindness (or open Giving and switch the toggle). Tap +, then Log Time for volunteer hours or Log Act for goods shared or an everyday act of mercy. Name the organization or neighbor, add a short description, and save. The Kindness view shows volunteer hours and acts logged. Free accounts can save up to 15 service-log entries.

  6. 6

    Plans, Restore, and Manage Subscription

    Open Plans from Account, from a “limit reached” prompt, or when an unpaid feature asks you to upgrade. Digital goods use Apple In-App Purchase only. Pro is $6.99/month. Tap Restore Purchases on the paywall if you already paid on this Apple ID. Tap Manage Subscription in Account or on Plans to cancel or change auto-renew (or use iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Video Pro is no longer offered; an existing Video Pro subscription still unlocks unlimited logs and documents until you cancel it.

  7. 7

    Sign out or delete your account

    Sign out: Home → account icon → Sign Out. Delete account: Home → account icon → Delete Account. This permanently removes your journal from this iPhone and from your private iCloud copy. It cannot be undone. Deleting the journal does not cancel an Apple subscription — cancel with Manage Subscription. After you sign in again, use Restore Purchases to attach an uncancelled Pro plan. Deleting the journal also does not unsubscribe you from the Kit mailing list.
