About LDS Plan

LDS plan is for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) to help manage their home teaching and visiting teaching. It will do just about everything for you except teach the lesson and drive the car. LDS plan will schedule your appointments for you, no phone calls needed. It will report for you, no phone calls needed. It also sends reminders to you, your companion, and your families before each appointment.

LDS plan is free service found at www.LDSplan.com. Your companion and families do not need this app for it to work for you. They can use any device with internet access and interact with you via LDSplan.com. The app is used for scheduling on a mobile device, but is not required for responding.

Scheduling -

LDS plan uses email to contact your families and companion. Each month you submit the days and times when you are available to go home or visiting teaching. When you click “submit,” LDS plan sends emails to everyone asking them to select dates and times within the days you have submitted. After everyone has responded, including your companion, LDS plan compiles that information to determine dates and times which are convenient for everyone. The goal is to get all of your appointments on the same day and at times when your companion is also available. Once it determines the best dates and times you receive an email asking you to confirm these times. And that is it! Your appointments are set.

Reminders -

A couple days before each appointment, LDS plan automatically sends emails out to you, your companion, and your families. This will happen without any effort on your part.

Reporting -

Reporting could not be any easier. After each appointment you get an email requesting a report. You can say you did or did not see them and add a note if you would like. LDS plan uses email addresses to identify people. All you need is the email address of the person you report to. When you submit his or her email address, that person is automatically given access to your reports from then on.

Leadership -

LDS plan can make life much easier and reporting more effective for those in a leadership position. When your companionships are using LDS plan to schedule and report on their appointments, you can log in at any time and see their progress. This means real time reporting. You don’t have to wait until next month before you know how this month is going. Effective leaders keep an eye on the reports to see mid-month who is likely not to be seen and then schedule their visits to those people rather than making duplicate visits. If someone in your stewardship does not want to use the scheduling feature, it isn't required. They can still use it to report and keep things all in one place for you!

I love this app! However, I am looking forward to an updated, cleaner, more user friendly interface and updated lesson ideas. I would also love to see expanded options for scheduling availability.

C70%

I can't sign in. It says emails don't match. Any help

S70%
by S####:

This app has a great concept and potential. However, it's not very usable. I found it impossible to edit the information on families that don't have email. The contact tool doesn't have a "save" feature...only a "send it" button and has a limit of three families. I got errors when updating my profile --- errors that indicated the Web app was attempting to create a new profile. Also, I have five assigned families. This app needs work.

X70%

It doesn't allow me to register there's always something wrong with my email apparently

U70%

Emails don't match. An error that won't let any further. Please repair so I can use it and rate it accordingly.

R70%
by R####:

I have tried to fill in the information to sign up for a new account and it says each time that my emails do not match. It would be a great app if I could just sign in.

W70%

Map it button doesn't pull up any address, UI is a little confusing. Doesn't play well with different phones. Plus I'd rather have this on my nexus 7 tablet.

Won't let me confirm appointment

U70%
by U####:

Good job. Excellent tool for LDS. To improve make possible to import info from LDS TOOLS, and the option to send text when email is not available.

U70%
by U####:

Not a true app. It's just a Web shortcut and browser. Easy to get logged out and very cumbersome to use.

B70%
by B####:

Great idea. Couple of suggestions : add a note section for each family. Stuff like kids names, birthdays, etc. Also, it is not available on my ASUS Transformer with ICS.

It's almost the end of April and the app is still showing home teaching message for March. Why?

Z70%

I have entered my email address 6 times. It still says "do not match". HELP!

Good AP

U70%
by U####:

First thing I noticed was that it only allowed for me to have 3 families, I have 5 I visit. There's a menu button which may have the solution, but it doesn't work on my phone. This ap is only for visit/ home teachers. I'm a route supervisor and would like to manage that aspect of my calling. This doesn't seem to have a place for me.

A70%
by A####:

The app is pretty good, but is very confusing on a key feature: It offers you the option to enter an email address and a phone number, and to choose one of those as a contact method. I didn't enter email addresses because most of my home teaching families are not that computer literate and are also less active. I suppose an email requesting a home teaching schedule might work for more active families, but I think this is inappropriate and a somewhat cold touch for less active families. What was not evident is that the software REQUIRES email addreses for each family. The app sends email to each family asking them to indicate their availability for a home teaching visit. So while the app accepted my home teaching family entries, it would not work because I didn't supply email addresses. (Seems like a bug to me.) When I attempted to modify the family's data, I could not because, the developer told me, email addreses are "secure". (Huh?) The only way I could modify the data was to DELETE the complete family entry and start over. The last negative was I once I figured out the above, I could not delete my LDS Plan account. I had to get the app developer to do it for me.

Is there any way to switch it to Spanish? I'd like to know how if so, there's not point on sending it if they can't understand the message.

Geez Louise Mormons, do you ever quit driving people nuts!

To study & focus daily to live a more Christian based life

S70%

I like the idea, but could never get it to load my families. Wish it did work.

Z70%
by Z####:

I don't think that the goal of home teaching is to have it automated.

N70%
by N####:

This app is such a great improvement for Home and Visiting Teaching. The fact that it actually schedules it for me is amazing. The website is great as well.

N70%
by N####:

I love everything about this app but can't get it to email my reports. Get "website unavailable" error. Is this app still alive?

N70%
by N####:

I love this because I have a horrible memory! This is a great way for everyone to communicate easily with no hassle and it reminds me right before my appointment times. LOVE IT!

H70%
by H####:

While a few things could definitely be improved, overall this app and it's web-based counterpart are excellent. They take a lot of the guesswork out of home teaching and visiting teaching scheduling. If the families you home teach use email, they can use this, and make your life much, much easier. Definitely worth trying out.

R70%
by R####:

Settings menu doesn't pop up for editing/adding contacts. Great idea; but uninstalled.

J70%
by J####:

It is an ok app. Would be better if there were an ending time for availability. This app needs the ability to edit the info for families and companions instead of making you go online, which you have to do from a computer as the website will detect your mobile device and request that you support them by downloading the app. It is a great concept but needs a lot of work.

T70%
by T####:

I was so excited when I found this app, I input my sisters I visit teach and my supervisor. I made appointment choices and it sent them just fine. However, when I manually set an appointment it didn't update my calendar. I sync it with my Google calendar, but it won't put my appointments in. If this gets fixed, I'll change my rating.

Logging in is a pain. Why not make it an option? Uninstalled!

The hardest part of doing my hometeaching is actually getting ahold of all my families to set up appointments that work with everyones schedule. This app seamlessly accomplishes this task with ease.

I have been using LDS plan fir awhile now and it works great. The mobile app is even more convenient

N70%

Have a Fascinate and was using the app a few months ago with no problem but now I can't enter the time to schedule an appointment

by N####:

This app will actually schedule my appointments for me, genius, I love it. I hope I can get more visits in because of it.
