### 5/5 — Sweet

*2026-07-19*

Not only is this app top notch for use and presentation, but the developer is seriously on top of things. I’ve never communicated with a more responsive developer. He’s interested in making this app as useful and user friendly as is possible.

### 5/5 — Steve Brinkerhoff

Great place to insert my time and memories of each Temple attending…ty for this great app

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-10-06*

Really good app. 10/5 stars. I wish it had a scroll bar though, because it takes a pretty long time to scroll through all the temples on the home page.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!  We love the idea for adding a scroll bar and will evaluate getting that added in the next update.
