The Family Home Evening App is for Christian families looking for a tool to help guide them in family night together. The apps purpose is to draw families closer to the Savior, Jesus Christ. The app is designed to be a mechanism to establish consistency and order in our homes by teaching healthy core beliefs and positive principles. The Family Home Evening (FHE) app takes about five minutes to initially set up. From there, each weekly family night can be planned in one minute. It includes content (links and ideas for songs, lessons, activities and treats) for more than two years of Family Home Evenings without duplication. It’s clean, simple, customizable, and includes iMessage stickers. The content is from many Christian sources: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS), PragerU, FaithGrows, PrinceEa, etc. Because of my own personal beliefs, this app was designed around Christian principles taught by the LDS faith. However, the app can be used by anyone of any faith to tailor to their own family values and core beliefs. My desire is that parents teach their children in their home, to learn and grow as a family in a safe and loving environment. I am an independent iOS developer. I am a member of the LDS faith. I am not employed, paid, sponsored, directed, or endorsed by the church. I have built this app of my own will and design. The content, lessons, and topics created are of my own personal opinions. I encourage users to search, ponder, pray for their own lessons and topics and add to the template that this Family Home Evening App provides. Have fun using technology for a quick and easy tool to aid family night! Thank you.

I have no excuse not to have our family time by using this well thought out app. Thanks for helping our family put God and our family first. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-07-01, version 1.1* The church should hire this guy! What a useful app. Good content and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-07-01, version 1.1* So basic and so helpful! Highly recommended! I love it. ### 5/5 — FHE for the win! *2025-07-01, version 1.1* And it came to Apps! It’s been great. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-01-05, version 1.1* How did I not know about this app sooner! How is it free? ### 3/5 — No other language options *2024-12-02* So far we really like the app, however our friends and family speak Spanish and there isn’t a way to change the language. It would be awesome if we were able to somehow connect our families through the app so everyone can be up to date on who is in charge of what besides one person sending out the message. That way, the person in charge of the lesson can go and change the topic and everyone will get the notification. Other than that, the app works great and is easy to use! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoy it. Sorry there is no Spanish. ### 3/5 — Editing *2024-01-09, version 1.1* Allow the formatting to stay the same, but to edit all the tasks to tailor to each family’s FHE structure and order ### 4/5 — A little buggy but good *2023-10-31, version 1.1* This really helps us organize our family home evening schedule. The customizations using Google docs is a little too much for us to do and I’d like to see it follow the “Come, Follow Me” schedule but it’s also free. ## Frequently asked questions about LDS Tools ### What is the Family Home Evening App?
