Refined navigation buttons on iPhone for a clearer, more consistent appearance. Settings, Back, Info, and Done now use light buttons with Directory blue details in Light appearance.

Improved iCloud syncing, smoother navigation, and reliability improvements throughout Directory. Prayer updates now catch up more reliably after unlocking your device or reconnecting to the internet.

Directory 1.5 Find your people fast. Remember to pray. Directory 1.5 brings Siri & Shortcuts support, full iPad support, layouts made for iPhone Duo, and major improvements throughout the app. • Let Siri take you there. Ask Siri to show Prayer Today, open Milestones, find a person, or open that person’s prayers. • Full iPad support. Directory now fully supports iPad, with layouts for your directory, contact cards, prayers, and care milestones that adapt as you resize your window or rotate your device. • Made for iPhone Duo. Move naturally between the inner and outer displays, with navigation and headings designed for each size and orientation. • Directory on your Mac. Use the iPad app on your Apple silicon Mac, with keyboard search, pointer interaction, and resizable windows. • Major improvements throughout. Enjoy improved navigation, more reliable iCloud syncing, clearer headings, better large-text layouts, and a smoother experience across the app. Your prayer text, private milestone details, household information, and addresses remain excluded from Siri.

Prayer now includes a short guide to Today, Requests, and Pray Daily, with a clear explanation of how your daily prayer group changes. Revisit the guide anytime in Settings > How prayer works.

Prayer and Milestones now have a simpler, clearer layout. Switch between active, ongoing, and answered prayer requests with an easy-to-reach filter. This update also improves readability and scrolling at larger text sizes.

Improved iCloud syncing for prayers, milestones, and Pray Today progress.

Improved Pray Daily Navigation

Pray Today gives you a manageable group of people to pray for each day, helping you work through your selected directory over about a month. Add people or active requests to Pray Daily when they need more frequent attention. When private iCloud sync is enabled, your progress stays in step across your devices.

Prayer and Milestones now use cleaner edge-to-edge lists, making the people and care moments in view easier to scan.

This update improves milestone syncing across devices, makes Nearby open more reliably around the selected person, applies appearance changes immediately, and refines Map navigation.

Milestones helps you look three months ahead, bringing Planning Center birthdays and anniversaries together with baptisms and other care moments you record yourself. Contact cards now show permitted Planning Center household context, including adults and children outside your selected directory list. Nearby now opens centered on the person, making it easier to understand who lives close by. This update also includes privacy, storage, and sync improvements.

People Map now responds more reliably as you zoom, with clusters reforming correctly when you move back out. This update also improves map stability during repeated visits and reduces unnecessary rendering work in dense directories.

Directory is faster and steadier in daily use. This update improves People Map responsiveness, speeds up search in large directories, reduces unnecessary work when moving between sections, and improves the efficiency of locally stored prayer data.

People Map is now more reliable and easier to use. Map preparation begins automatically after your directory is ready and continues while you use other parts of the app. Resolved households appear progressively, address lookups recover more intelligently when Apple Maps temporarily pauses requests, and map markers and clusters stay more stable as you move and zoom. Saved locations load immediately on future visits unless an address changes.

This update fixes an issue in the People Map where households could disappear after zooming out and returning to an area, or remain grouped longer than expected. Map markers and area counts now respond more reliably as you move and zoom.

Your directory now has a map. Version 1.2 introduces People Map, a new way to see your selected directory at a glance. Explore households across your community, open contacts from the map, and use People Nearby to see who shares an address or lives near someone in your care. Search is much more capable, too. Find people by name, phone number, or address. If an unfamiliar number texts you, paste it into Directory to discover who it belongs to, regardless of phone-number formatting. This update also brings redesigned navigation, more focused contact and prayer actions, and smoother mapping for large directories. Map features never request or use your current location.

Fixed an issue that could briefly show a saved-session loading screen when reopening the app. Returning users with a valid cached directory now open directly to their contact list while subscription verification and directory refresh continue in the background.

Eligible new subscribers can now try live Planning Center directory access free for 7 days. This update also makes subscription setup and restoration more reliable, continues directly to Planning Center after purchase, and improves the search clear button. If subscription access ends, the app disconnects Planning Center and removes locally cached People data while keeping saved prayers available to read, export, or delete. Temporary verification problems preserve local data.

Added an Everyone directory option for permitted Planning Center People records. First-time offline setup is now more resilient and gives clearer status. Directory source options stay responsive during background updates. Also fixed an issue that could leave the search bar misplaced after returning to the app. Lastly, settings in dark mode is a lot more readable.
