### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-07-27*

I just found the app and love being able to see all the temples and other church sites in one place. When we go on trips we will use this to make sure we visit as many sites as possible. There are a lot and we would have missed many of them without the app. Thank you for all your work!

**Developer response:** You’re welcome! I’m happy to hear you making good use of the App. Thanks for the review.

### 5/5 — Love it so far

*2024-01-04*

So far it has been fun beginning to add in my history. I do wish that the app offered a way to track open houses attended and exteriors visited, and dedication.
We often have taken our young children to see over the years and it will be nice to be able to add those as well

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for the feedback. While ‘Temples Under Construction’ don’t currently show up on the Visit tab’s “Add” screen, you can add a visit by navigating to it on the Places tab and selecting the “Record Visit” button.

This is a great and useful app, and Derek keeps it up to date daily.

### 5/5 — Thank you for clarifying symbolism

*2023-10-15, version 4.2*

Thank you

### 5/5 — Fun way to journal temple visits

*2023-09-29, version 4.2*

This app is so wonderful. I love being able to keep a journal of sorts for my temple visits. Thank you for making this app available!

### 5/5 — My temple journal

*2023-02-17*

I love this app. I use it as my journal where I can write any special feelings I had, or people I saw there, or special occasions. I tell everyone about it. Today, my app won’t open… at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ll cry if I lose all my visits over the last several years. (Specifically when I was proxy for my mother being sealed to her parents.)

**Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear you are having this issue. I am aware of a limited number of users who are experiencing a crash upon launch. Please don’t delete the App and reinstall it or you will definitely lose the visits you have recorded unless you have exported them from the Visit’s Option page. I hope to have an update out soon to address this.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2022-10-09, version 3.7*

I love this app! It’s easy to use, helps me access temple info and also helps me share the beauty of temples.

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2022-10-04*

This app is amazing! I use it to journal about my temple visits and the inspiration I receive in the temple. I love to take a picture of the temple each time I go and adding it to my visit. The best part is the photo gallery that is created for each temple. I’m still discovering more thoughtful features of the app.

**Developer response:** I’m happy to hear you are enjoying the App. Thanks for the great review. 👍🏼

### 5/5 — This is a nice app

*2022-06-05, version 3.7*

I very much like it

### 5/5 — Temple attendance app

*2021-12-07, version 3.7*

This is a great app to track temple attendance (locations and ordinances performed) and the date of attendance. It’s also a great tool to track the status of temples around the world

### 5/5 — The best temple app ever!!!!!!

*2021-08-04*

This app was so helpful. When the Grand Junction Temple was announced I was so intrigued and interested to know what the temple would look like, where it would be, etc. I also loved all the historical information. One thing I had a problem with was the updating. I had seen a picture of what the Lindon Utah temple was going to look like. 2 months later the app finally updated and I was able to see the picture, but overall the app is so awesome. It was great to see the increase of how many temples I had been to in the last few months. This app is so great I totally recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

### 5/5 — LOVE!

*2021-02-20, version 3.7*

I absolutely love keeping a journal of the temples I have visited and who went with me.  I love this app.  Thanks SO very much!

### 5/5 — Inspiring

*2020-03-24*

It is so fun to be able to map out places to visit on every vacation.  Just visiting the temple or the sites fills the rest of the vacation with the spirit.

### 1/5 — Awesome but...

*2020-08-23, version 3.6.2*

This app is awesome and I am trying to get my fiancé to switch over from android to Apple but the only reason she wants is because she likes her temple tracker app on the android device.

Out of all the temple tracker apps this was the one that would have had her switch over but she hates the multi colored texts it gives her a headache and she can’t concentrate. Please change the insane amount of multicolored texts and have it look mor uniform and not like some 1990’s website.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-08-04, version 3.6.2*

I was looking forward to using this app to keep track of visits to temples during our travels. But the app crashes now every time I try to add a visit.

### 2/5 — Please Fix Latest Update

*2023-03-10, version 4.1*

Worked great, loved this app until a recent update. The latest update made the app totally unusable. There is now only a thin sliver of temple listings visible when selecting “Add a visit”. I’d be happy to share a screenshot with developers, please feel free to reach out.

### 3/5 — Only iPhone app

*2021-10-03, version 3.7*

I love this app, but I switched phones recently and could afford an iPhone. Now, I have to keep two phone just for this app. Love it, but can’t have it on my main phone. Wish they would change that.

### 4/5 — I love to see the temple

*2025-06-05, version 4.6*

Love the ability to see all the special historical places that the Lord has designated for the restoration of the gospel. I love to be able to track my progress of visiting all of the Lord’s temples, as I travel for work I find it very satisfying. 

My only wish is that you would develop an Android version please. I got an Apple for work but I prefer Android devices. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Holy Places

*2022-06-02, version 3.7*

Love this app.  How do you sync across devices?

### 4/5 — Loving the record!

*2020-02-17*

I love that I can keep a history of my special moments and the temples I've visited! I also love that it let's you make and keep track of your yearly attendance goal! The set up is great! The only thing I would change is adding another place for favorite temples that I want to attend in the future so I could make Goals and plans for those!...but I would want to keep them separate from my history...maybe even make it so you could check them off and they'd be automatically added to your history 💜💚💜😅😅 But over all I am pleased with this App! 😊

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2019-11-18, version 3.6.1*

I would have given it 3 stars but I’ve been forced to use use a different app on my new phone, and this one was better.

### 5/5 — Close to Perfect

*2026-07-05*

There is very little to criticize—and the enhancements are welcome and inventive surprises. 

My only minor grumble (not a murmur) is that I wish the watch app hadn't abandoned those who are challenged to justify a new watch to keep current with Apple's software caprices.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m really glad you’ve been enjoying the recent enhancements and found them to be welcome and inventive surprises.

I completely understand your point about the Watch app. It’s frustrating when updates raise the bar in ways that make it harder for people to stay current without upgrading their device, and I don’t want that to limit who can use the app. I’ll look into lowering the device requirements for the Watch app and see what’s possible in a future update.

Your feedback is genuinely appreciated—thank you for taking the time to share it.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-04-07, version 5.5*

I absolutely love this app It allows me to look up all the temples and keep track of my visits to thy holy house

### 5/5 — Glad I found this

*2026-02-10*

Family Search stops keeping track of the number of coordinates that an individual completes at 3000. In 2024 I was 120 ordinance is short of 3000. In 2025 I estimate that I did about 5000, however, it frustrates me because they’re not keeping track of them. I don’t feel like I get credit for what I do so with this new app, I will be able to keep track of what I accomplish.

**Developer response:** Wow! That is an impressive amount of ordinances which have completed. I’m glad you found my app to help you track it going forward. Thanks for the review.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-12-27, version 5.1*

Absolutely LOVE this app! Can you make it so I can upload more than one photo to a visit? Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Genuinely Awesome

*2025-07-21*

I love to use the app to teach geography to my daughter. We will pick a temple and zoom in, talking about continent, country, state/territory, city. Then look at the pictures through the more info link. There are always timely updates and it is well managed.

**Developer response:** I’m glad you find it easy to use. Keep sharing the beauty of the temples!

### 5/5 — Perfect App

*2025-06-21, version 4.7*

This app is my favorite. I love recording my temple visits. The journal and add a picture make it rewarding, especially when I look back at my previous visits and remember what I wrote.

### 5/5 — Best temple app

*2025-06-18*

This is the best temple app I’ve had. It’s easy to put in visits and it has a summary of every temple I’ve been to. It also has church history sites, it can’t be beat.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the glowing review! I love that you are putting my app to good use. 🙂

### 5/5 — Perfect functionality

*2025-06-08, version 4.6*

I love being in holy places, and I love this app.

### 5/5 — Thank you for making this!

*2024-09-16*

This is wonderful!! 
I love the option to upload my own photos and that it can track service as an ordinance worker, too!  
I’m not seeing how to set a goal, but otherwise it’s all very understandable and fun to use!

**Developer response:** Your welcome! The goals are set within the setting page.

### 5/5 — Holy places app

*2024-08-26, version 4.3.1*

I love this app.  My phone died an the new down load does not allow me to set goals or record hours worked
