They build on what FamilySearch provides - they don't replace it or even provide any information that could not be found simply by patiently using FamilySearch. But many members don't want to search through ancestry and descendancy trees apps such as Hope Chest or Take a Name or Find a Record will scan through extended trees up and down looking for temple opportunities or other research possibilities. They are shown in various ways - on a person's detail page, or on various tree views. Of course FS has a way to identify needed ordinances. One of my questions is this.doesn't FS have a way to identify needed ordinances without using a separate app? I have some questions about this, but the developers don't seem to have a help or service link.
