Attendance in LDS Tools

My wife and I have a problem with trying to record attendance for YW and YM. We both have Androids with the current Member Tools installed (no updates needed in the App Store).
Previously to the last tools update, it worked great.

Member Tools >> Reports >> Class and Quorum Attendance

However, when we tried today (13 Aug), my wife's phone only allowed her to record attendance between 25 Jun - 23 Jul.
My phone will only allow me to record attendance between 12 Mar - 9 Apr.

I do not see where we can change the date to record.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

When that happens click out of the attendance and back in again and the date range should change. You may have to do it multiple times to get where you wish to be.

I also have this problem. And have tried the above advice with no change

I can only get attendance up to Aug 6

I have tried the above advice off and on for the past week. There is no change in app behavior. I cannot change the weeks to be displayed. If anyone else has another method or if I am supposed to swipe or click something to change the dates, please let me know. I am at an impasse.

Try this: Log out and back in. Or, log out, delete all data (from Android settings) and the log back in.

No idea if it will work, but log out/in tends to re-download information rather than trying to sync it.

The latest Member Tools version (current 4.9.0 released 8 Aug 2023) is supported on Android version 6.0 and later. Any Android version earlier than that will experience issues. If you have Android 6.0 or later and are experiencing the attendance reporting issue discussed in this thread then send feedback using the in-app Help > Send Feedback feature.

Similar to russellhltn's suggestion I have found that when I experience issues with the app following and update of the app that signing out and signing back into it forces a reset of data. Others have had to resort to deleting the app and reinstalling the app.

Signing out and back in worked for me this time. (Android phone)

I frequently have this problem. Wish they would fix it. Right now, it's Oct. 15. For the last two weeks, the latest date in the app is Oct. 1. I end up having to record attendance on the website instead.

I wonder if the issue is related to syncing. Without a sync, the available dates may not advance.

No. I tried syncing. Over WIFI and over cell - no change to the behavior. The only thing that works (about ~50%) is logging out and then back in on the app. It is frustrating.

My wife is experiencing this issue. Pixel 7 Android 14
Happy to help provide more info or try some things to troubleshoot. Please reach out and let me know.

For those experiencing the issue, please send in-app feedback at the Help > Send Feedback menu item.

Until the issue is fixed, try signing out and then sign back in. That will force a refresh of data and force the date to update.

Church News today, Thursday 22 February 2024, announces attendance function in Member Tools for Sunday School. Not seeing the link for Gospel Doctrine. Is this a function that will be available only after the v5.0 release scheduled for March 2024?

For those leaders having access before this announcement the path to recording attendance is Reports > Class and Quorum Attendance > Sunday School > Gospel Doctrine. I do not know how a teacher will access the attendance. It may be the same or even a truncated form of that path. Sometimes the news announcing a release has preceded the actual release. As you stated, a new release of Member Tools may be necessary to implement the added feature.

For those interested, the newsroom article is Now Teachers Can Take Class Attendance in Member Tools App. Also note the article states only adult leaders, secretaries, and teachers will have access to record attendance in Member Tools.

This is an interesting development. I had speculated previously that the reason teachers couldn't see a list of their students was due to concern about privacy settings. (What happens if a member is set to "leadership only"? The responsibilities outlined in the Handbook seem to fall short of calling them "leaders" for legal purposes.)

I guess that got ironed out.
