## Review summary

Users appreciate Called to Serve as an easy-to-use app to follow and receive updates about missionaries, including photos and letters, helping keep family connected. However, multiple users report persistent issues uploading profile pictures, inaccurate mission locations on maps, limited mission options, and bugs causing poor user experience. Some also note that updates often must be done on a computer rather than via the app, detracting from mobile convenience. Customer service is somewhat responsive, but some users have not received replies. Despite drawbacks, many find the app helpful and recommend it.

### Pros

- Allows users to follow and keep track of missionaries' progress with photos and letters.
- Easy to use and convenient for users who want updates on their missionaries.
- Good concept that helps friends and family stay connected and updated.
- Helpful customer service that is responsive to some user issues.
- Preserves mission information including past missions.

### Cons

- Unable to add or upload profile pictures due to app glitches (spinning wheel and failures).
- Issues with inaccurate or incorrect mission locations displayed on the map that cannot be fixed.
- Not all mission types are listed as options, and there's no free text input for missions.
- App can be buggy, not very smooth or user friendly, with glitches when switching between letters, pictures, etc.
- Updates and editing often require use of a computer rather than being possible solely on the phone app.
