I tried to log in and it wouldn’t even open the app. I tried several times and nothing. A bit disappointed because now I need to look for a different app to use for a simple countdown and this one had all my daughter’s missionary info. Bummer! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2024-04-18, version 1.0.26* This app is absolute junk ### 1/5 — Don’t order the book *2023-05-02, version 1.0.20* I ordered the book, paid a hefty price for it and never received it! After multiple attempts to contact regarding this issue still no book and haven’t even received a response. Buyer beware! ### 1/5 — This app is horrible *2021-10-11, version 1.0.20* I spent hours uploading letters and photos, and one day I opened the app and they were gone. It won’t let me change her return date, it did at one point, but it also reverted and is lost. So disappointed!! ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2020-03-14, version 1.0.20* The “help” section has very little information-not helpful at all. Maybe it’s just me but I couldn’t figure out how to add emails that my son has sent me. There are no instructions. I was excited about this app but, sadly, deleted it out of frustration. ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2020-01-10, version 1.0.20* I’ve downloaded this apps a few times, but every time I try to open it, the logo shows up and that’s it. It’s like it won’t even open. ### 5/5 — Five Star App! *2019-03-14, version 1.0.20* I’ve been using this app for the past six months! I love that it stores all my sons mission letters and allows my friends and family to read letters and see the pictures instantly. The app also has a fun countdown and even keeps track of mission areas, companions, weather, time of day etc. Once mission is completed I’ll be able to get letters and pictures printed - the books look amazing! My older son served a mission 7 years ago and the owner of this app was able to retrieve all the letters from a blog and uploaded them into this app. It has been fun to go back and read letters and see pictures instantly! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2019-02-28, version 1.0.20* This has been such a great app for all of my son’s letters, pictures, and journals! They print incredible books and having all the information at my fingertips is fantastic! ### 2/5 — Poor customer support *2019-01-24, version 1.0.14* I really liked this app until I started adding pictures. The app says they will add in reverse chronological order, but when I added them they show up in a random, mixed up order. I’ve emailed customer support twice for help and haven’t received a response. ### 5/5 — Great customer service *2018-10-10, version 1.0.11* I love this app! And they have amazing customer service if you have any questions!! ## Frequently asked questions about Called to Serve ### How do I set up a missionary profile in Called to Serve?
