It’s very informative and gives a great snapshot of who the church leadership was at a certain point in time. ### 4/5 — Updates *2023-12-14, version 1.2.3* Is anybody maintaining this application’s content? Someone should as otherwise this is handy little app. ### 5/5 — Changes for an update required by the death of m Russel Ballard ??? *2023-12-01, version 1.2.3* When can we expect it? ### 5/5 — My curious mind *2023-11-21, version 1.2.3* I like the simple access to find so many personal and historic details. I have spent many many few moments looking up info over many years now. A question about an apostle pops in my mind and I know I can find info in this app. ### 4/5 — Update *2023-11-18, version 1.2.3* Love the app. Hope you are going to update with the recent changes. ### 5/5 — Useful, fast, and fun way to review history of Latter-day Saint leadership *2023-11-17* This app is a Fast and fun way to review history of Latter-day Saint leadership that is also surprisingly useful. Thank you for developing this app! ### 5/5 — Really good but…. *2023-11-13, version 1.2.3* I think it’s time for an update developers, M Russell Ballard isn’t with us anymore ### 5/5 — Latter-Day Apostles *2023-07-09, version 1.2.3* Love this app! The simplicity and ease of use make it one of my favorite apps in any category. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2020-08-26, version 1.2.3* I love this! An amazing visual experience to see how our presidency has changed over the years. It provides a deeper relationship to these men when you can see when and how they got called, as well as who they served with through the years. Very informative as well, as it answered random questions I had! Overall a super awesome app and I am glad someone made this!! :) ### 5/5 — Nice work *2020-02-20, version 1.2.3* You’ve done a great job on this. One recommendation: When 2 July 1972 clicks around, the text says, “Death of Joseph F. Smith.” It would be more appropriate to give his full middle name and say, “Death of Joseph Fielding Smith.” I enjoy this app. ### 5/5 — Visual delight, historical treasure *2020-01-17, version 1.2.3* This informative app visually displays the priesthood relationships of prophets, seers, and revelators and how they are adjusted by death or calling. ### 5/5 — I am a cow *2019-11-10, version 1.2.3* I am a cow ### 5/5 — Wonderful Improvement *2019-08-13, version 1.2.3* Enjoyed this app for some time and the latest update makes it all the better. Thanks ### 4/5 — Can’t click on certain individuals *2019-08-02, version 1.2.3* I really love this app. However, when I try to click on certain apostles’ pics, it rewinds back a few dates to which the apostles’ information I’m trying to access, makes it impossible. I really would like to be able to view their bios. I would also like to have more information about them than just the basics. I’d be willing to pay for an app that had such information. Thanks for all the hard work in designing this app. There are too many people that are over critical of apps, especially of those apps that are free. That makes no sense to me. “You get something for free and then expect it to be perfect, and when it’s not you flood the internet with negative reviews”. - makes no sense to me. Anyway thanks again for the app!! ### 4/5 — Much better! *2019-07-26, version 1.2.3* Finally there are jump/step buttons to move more precisely through the line. It was frustrating to try to fine an individual change, now it is easy, thanks! Next suggestion is when you click on a picture, make it larger along with the info. I am trying to teach my children and the pictures are so tiny they complain they cannot see them. ### 4/5 — New forward and backward buttons *2019-07-14, version 1.2.3* New version with buttons that move you to the next change in the leadership of the church. ### 5/5 — 15 BFFs *2019-06-25, version 1.2.3* This is a really great app with accurate information! What a great way to remind me of the comings and goings of my favourite righteous dudes. Thank-you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs to be updated *2018-01-10, version 1.1* Apple needs to update this app. It’s far from current. ### 2/5 — Oliver Cowdery is missing! *2019-07-22, version 1.2.3* Why is Oliver Cowdery missing from this app? D&C 20:2-3. Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery were first and second Elders of the Church and Apostles and Oliver Cowdery was ordained by Joseph Smith as an Apostle and the Assistant-President, which office no longer exists. Two stars for this oversight! ### 2/5 — Nice, but has gotten worse *2019-06-10, version 1.2.1* When it first came out, there was an arrow one could tap, moving it from year to year. This has been removed. That seemed to work much better than the current slide bar approach. I’m using an iPhone and it’s difficult to slide from one year to the next, even if I rotate my phone to landscape. What happens is it jumps two or often more years at a time. So the real purpose of the app, seeing changes from year to year, is lost. Again, go back. There is no shame. I’ve worked in the software industry. The mentality is often, “We never go back; always forward.” If a mistake is made, admit it and go back to a better version. Users will love you for it. Would you please respond to this review? Thank you for the app. Love the idea. So much great information is presented in a “visual” way. Love the idea. ### 2/5 — Difficult to navigate *2018-04-22, version 1.2.1* I have this app on my Kindle and love it! But I just got it on my iPhone and find it all but worthless. The timeline bar is difficult to control and there is no description of when changes were made to the Quorum of the 12. Because I do have it on my Kindle, I know there must be a way to program those features in. The developers should maybe have waited to release this app until they had the product complete. The negative reviews and frustrated users might keep the app from becoming popular. ### 2/5 — Android version is better *2018-01-25, version 1.2* Not updated frequently enough and the android version is much more useful and user friendly. ### 2/5 — Needs improvements and updates *2018-01-18, version 1.1* I love being able to scroll through and see the church leaders at any year and read the easy to find biographies. I would like to see the app be as useful and user friendly as the Android version though - Arrows to jump to the specific important dates, a calendar to jump to a specific date, captions at the top explaining what the changes were.... Jan 18th: and now, Please Update! I have noticed recently when scrolling through the timeline, that when an apostle passes away and a new one is called, the change doesn’t show in this app till the next year! Now the app is in need of an update in a major way, and the Android app has already been updated! This is ridiculous! ### 3/5 — LDS apostles *2019-04-07, version 1.2.1* The forward and back buttons of androids are needed on iPhones. Thanks ### 3/5 — Add a feature to enter a specific date *2019-03-25, version 1.2.1* This is an incredibly useful app when teaching Doctrine and Covenants. However, the scrubbing bar is very difficult and it generalizes dates for the entire year. For example, Joseph was killed in June 1844, but he is listed as the prophet for the entire year of 1844. It isn’t until 1845 that the presidency is dissolved on the app. It would be really amazing to be able to enter a specific date, like a date of a section number in D&C and see who is in leadership on that date. ### 3/5 — Good, but hard to select a year *2019-03-10, version 1.2.1* Great concept and info, but wish we could select the desired year through a drop-down menu instead of a wheel. It’s very difficult to select a particular year to review! ### 3/5 — Needs Fixing *2019-01-05, version 1.2.1* I echo what others have said - needs a step-by-step arrow to see incremental changes. I also would like the seniority line of succession. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So helpful! Thank you! *2026-04-04, version 1.4.9* Thank you for creating this app. I find it so easy to use and helpful whenever I want to learn about the apostles. It is so interesting to be able to look over the historical information included. ### 5/5 — Latter-day Apostles *2026-03-07, version 1.4.9* I really enjoy this app. Very informative ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-07, version 1.4.8* Absolutely love this app. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-12-28, version 1.4.8* I love this app- one note- Hinckley still says he was the oldest president and Nelson’s death at 101 is not recorded. Other than those updates this is a wonderful format, I use it weekly to learn. ### 5/5 — Thank you for updating this app! *2025-11-23, version 1.4.7* Thank you for updating this app. I love this resource. It’s very handy to quickly browse through the history of the leadership of the church. Very useful as a reference and quick contextual orientation to church history. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-11-09* I love this app. I use it frequently. I wish the personal information used a standardized layout but that is the only problem I’ve ever seen. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!!!! *2025-09-29, version 1.2.4* This is the BEST app I have ever used!!! Thank you thirsty nellan!!! I used to save the conference editions of the ensign. I used to pin up the centerfolds. My wife tore them all down, so now I use this app! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ ### 5/5 — Such a great app!! *2025-09-28, version 1.2.4* I love this app. It answers so many questions, and is so fun to use! Thank you for creating such a great app!! ### 5/5 — Such a Great Tool *2025-09-28, version 1.2.4* I’ve been using this app for a very long time. It has always worked well, and I love the information it provides. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-04-24* I really like this app a lot. I use it way more than I thought I would. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
