How to Use the Ordinances Ready App

The members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are slowly becoming aware of the availability of the relatively new Ordinances Ready app. The app was first generally announced back in September 2018. See "Ordinances Ready: FamilySearch App Feature Helps Find Temple Ordinances for Your Ancestors." Because the announcement was made in the venue of a FamilySearch Blog post, those who became aware of the introduction of the App were primarily people using the FamilySearch.org website who had subscribed to the blog posts in their individual "Settings" menu. Since then, instructions for the use of the App have appeared on ChurchofJesusChrist.org. See the following:

Ordinances Ready is part of FamilySearch.org and the FamilySearch Tree apps on both iOS and Android. On all three, you will find it under the Temple links when you sign in with an LDS account.

The Ordinances Ready app is designed to be used by individuals who are going to the Temple within a relatively short period of time. It is not designed to add names to a Reserved list. For youth who are planning to attend the Temple, it is important that they register for FamilySearch.org and obtain their own names so that their name appears on the card or cards they take to the Temples.
