No longer able to see callings!

I was recently called to be a High Councilor in my stake. The Stake Clerk did something at the Stake level in the computer to give me more clearance on my LDS TOOLS account. Ever since that change, once I did a sync on my iPhone 4 cell phone, I lost the ability to view callings at any level. The tab for callings is still there, but nothing pulls up.

What was your prior calling?

All he could do is record your calling. There are no other settings. IIRC, High Councilors do not have as much privilege as they expect. So, depending on your prior calling you will see a lot of things disappear.

But you should be able to pull up a list of callings. I'd give it some time and sync again. The system may still be processing the change, or perhaps the system that stores callings was off-line just then.

2.4.3 has a problem and that might be why you cant see callings or reports

If you are still having the same problems a day or two later, it's possible that there's a bug affecting older devices (like the iPhone 4) that wasn't thoroughly tested by developers. Are you running iOS 7?

Yes IOS7
I deleted the app and reinstalled it - same problem.

Same problem for me too...I also can't see any reports either. I have a 5s with iOS 7.1.2 and this worked just recently. I hope this can be resolved soon, since as a Ward Executive Secretary, I use this all the time.

BTW, I deleted the LDS Tools App and reinstalled it and I powered down my phone and turned it back on and nothing made any difference.

Three other bits of information:
(1) I had my daughter login to her account on my phone and she gets the same blank screen for callings too, so it doesn't appear to be related to the individual who logs in.
(2) She also has a 5s, but is running iOS 8.x and everything works fine on this device for both of our accounts.
(3) Setting/Help doesn't work either.

As a follow up, is there any way to install a previous version of this app? That would at least give us a stopgap solution until this problem is resolved.

I have the exact same problem on my iphone4 iOS 7.1. It looks like its a render issue because if you pull the view down in the reports/callings view you can see some weird pixels. It looks like everything is displayed in the same row. By what others have said it sounds like a compatibility issue with older iOSs. I'm also hoping this issue can be fixed ASAP.

I see the same thing as well when you pull down the view.

The official way to send feedback is through the app (under Settings) – if all of you submit feedback for the same issue it will bring it to their immediate attention.

I must be blind, but I don't see how to do this under "Settings". All I have under "Settings" are the following:
o Update Passcode
o Calendar Months:
o Sign Out
o Help

If it's under "Help", then I can't see it because it doesn't work for me.

It is under Settings > Help, actually. When you click Feedback it creates a new email addressed to LDSToolsSupport@ldschurch.org, with the subject line "Feedback" – you can probably send an email directly to that address if the Help menu doesn't work. Be sure to include the version of LDS Tools you're using, the version of iOS you're on, and the type of device you have.
