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.

2022-10-26	Ro*****	My wife has this app for our daughter who's on a mission. However it won't let her add a picture. We wrote to the apps customer service but no reply. I tried downloading it on my phone and same thing, I can't add a picture to the profile. I also wrote a message but have not heard back.

2022-03-26	Ju*****	It's OK but I didn't see a service mission as a option. Wish I had that option. It's been great to check on missionary progress

2021-10-29	Ni*****	Seems ok but for the life of me I cannot get a profile picture to load. I just get the spinning wheel of death. Several other mother's I know say the same thing. Also, it added a marker for whether my son is on the map incorrectly and will NOT post the correct city where he is.

2021-02-15	Ar*****	Great concept but lacks in execution. Seems buggy and not very smooth. Not very user friendly. For the life of us we cannot figure out how to add our son's photo for the profile pic everything we've tried does not work. Hopefully they can get the bugs fixed but judging from the comments going back a couple years it doesn't look like it will happen.

2019-10-17	A *****	I have tried everything to get my son's areas on the map. It only shows Taipei...even though he's never served there. I've clicked on the +button, I've gone into edit and tried everything in the admin tool. I sent the developer a message to try to fix this and nothing. When I go into his locations it shows that they are pinned and should show up on the map, but they don't. Not a single one. I give up. It's frustrating since this also controls what weather it shows you.

2019-09-02	A *****	Cant update on the app. Have to do everything from a computer. The entire reason I wanted to get this app was so I could keep everything on my phone. But having to make updates on the computer is a pain. Not user friendly from the phone.
