The Holy Places logo, created by my daughter, features The Morning Star from the stained glass windows of the Nauvoo Temple — representing both the Historical and Temple aspects of the app.

This is a great app! I use it to track every visit I make to the temple. I do wish there was a way to track how many different temples I attend instead just the overall number of temples, including repeats, but overall this app is a must! I truly appreciate the logo of the app, as the Nauvoo temple holds a very special place in my heart. I love all the temple updates too. Thank you for all the hard work! Keep it up and keep the faith!*update: I forgot about the section at the top of the summary page that DOES keep track of how many different temples I go to. Just another reason why I love this app! I also love the quotes that are incorporated into the app and I truly appreciate all the time that goes into maintaining such a large database and keeping up with Temple announcements and updates. Thanks again!

I greatly enjoy the temple and hope to see them all one day! This app is great in keeping track of visits, Temple attendance goals, uplifting notes and inspirations, and so much more! If I'm in a new area I can see where the nearest temple is, check the schedule, and get address for directions! I was able to plan a trip ahead of time by seeing when temples were open and closed and if they had clothing rental or not. All in one app! It also makes me want to do more ordinance work with little achievement trackers. I not only get to see where temples are but see updates on announced temples, temples under construction, historical landmarks, visitor centers, AND I can look up fun facts about those locations. I love it all!💕🙏

The best temple app ever!!!!!!

This app was so helpful. When the Grand Junction Temple was announced I was so intrigued and interested to know what the temple would look like, where it would be, etc. I also loved all the historical information. One thing I had a problem with was the updating. I had seen a picture of what the Lindon Utah temple was going to look like. 2 months later the app finally updated and I was able to see the picture, but overall the app is so awesome. It was great to see the increase of how many temples I had been to in the last few months. This app is so great I totally recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Great App

Love this app. It had a great balance of everything I was looking for in an app. I love how it lists more than temples. Our family is planning a trip and using the app as a way to make sure we see different things along the way. A fun way to record these stops. Thank you for all of your hard work!!Only potential update that some people may like to see is being able to differentiate between doing family names vs temple/other names. Personally all the work is someone’s family so I am okay with it being one.

Map Timeline — Back to the Beginning
The Map Timeline now includes the Kirtland Temple (1836) and the original Nauvoo Temple (1846), predating St. George as the first temples of this dispensation. Temple pins also now display the name that was in use at the time as you move through history.
Bug Fixes
• Fixed missing back button when opening the map from a place detail
• Fixed a home tab background image flash on launch when a custom image was set
• Fixed a crash on the Summary tab when top places included a renamed temple
