✓ So Easy and FastI like this new app for doing indexing of old records. It is amazing how good the computer is at reading this old handwriting, but it is not perfect, so they still need humans to check it. This app makes it quick and keeps it simple. I really got addicted fast and couldn’t stop. It felt like I was doing something useful in just one or two minutes..Version: 1.0
✓ Amazing:))Amazing:))!.Version: 1.4.5
✓ Impressive tech, uncertain UII was skeptical that technology could actually read 19th-century cursive, but was pleasantly surprised. I’ve run through at least 100 names so far just to get an idea of how well it worked, and so far so good. Two issues to raise, though: 1. When I edit a name, there’s no way to ensure that my edits are saved. No button, no “save” indicator of any kind. I made some significant edits, but did they take? Let your users know what’s going on, please. 2. I wish there were a way I could flag the name of the parish priest; his name shows up on every page and doesn’t need to, and that’s a lot of extra temple work. I’ll keep using this and adjust my rating accordingly..Version: 1.0
✓ So awesome!I’ve done over 2000 names on this app! Can’t wait to do more!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Great way to get youth involved!!!This opens up simple ways for youth to draw on the promises of family history without having to “figure out” formats for each indexing project! I hope this translates I to various languages and record types, because it’s beautifully simple!!!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Incredible easy to use, a little buggy.It’s incredible easier than indexing ever has been, truly. Should I do this regardless? Yes. But the gamification of counting how many names I had done helped, and it seems to never work anymore, my June never changed after hundreds of names. It used to work, but seems to be broken. Wish they had a little more rather than “unsure” but it’s overall simple enough. (Ability to add or subtract from what is highlighted would be nice) The church apps all having light blue icons isn’t helping the fact that this app has the same color as most the apps, and same symbol as the other family search one, isn’t helping. The fact that “living” is a branch, but not part of family search adds to the confusion..Version: 1.4.1
✓ THIS IS FANTASTICI know I am supposed to do Family History and I know that when I do I feel blessed but it’s still hard to do and take time for! This app is fantastic and now I want to take time to do it every day because it makes it - simple process! One thing that I think would be super helpful is to see how helpful this actually is to do! I want to see intro videos of how me doing this little thing every day helps in the whole process of things. how does me doing this make a difference in the big picture?.Version: 1.2.0
✓ So much better than indexingThis is brilliant and so much easier then the old way of indexing. Plus now it can be done over the app. I haven’t had a single problem with the app so far. It’s awesome!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Index (Review Records) from your phoneThis app allows you to get involved with the effort to index records conveniently on your phone. I like to index on my computer, and have tried doing it on my phone using the family search website and it’s just not very feasible. But this app simplifies the process and makes it easy to do from your phone!.Version: 1.0
✓ Teen friendlyLove this simple way to contribute to indexing..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Good app!So glad this exists! Can’t give feedback via the app because it keeps telling me to set up an email. Except I’m connected via my LDS account, so I’m confused. I wish that I could start typing, then pause to scroll around the record, then go back to typing. It erases what I’m working on each time which is annoying..Version: 1.0
✓ I Can Make A DifferenceReviewing the 1950 Census is fun and rewarding. By reviewing and correcting the computer-transcribed names allows others to find their family, friends, and loved ones. I go to my computer and Review Families which is the next step in the process. NOTE: If the Census line is marked, “Not Home” or “vacant”, press the flag icon (lower right) and select “Not a Person.” You often have to do this twice as it tries to pick up a first and last name.

✓ "My Contributions" is FIXED!EDIT 5 December 2023: I am happy to report that the "All Names Reviewed" feature within "My Contributions" appears to be working again! The bar chart also appears to be working again. Also, the new volunteering stats (like the "People" section) are very cool to see. ---------- EDIT 11 July 2023: The "My Contributions" section is still completely broken in many ways. Doesn't even count your contributions. My number of contributions for multiple months is shown as ZERO. Very upsetting. Please try to fix this. ---------- Such a great way to volunteer my time! App is designed well. ---------- EDIT 9 March 2023: App suddenly stopped counting contributions towards the bar chart and the total number of names corrected. FamilySearch.org/GetInvolved on a computer still correctly adds to the "Names Corrected" counter inside the "Name Review" square. The app no longer adds to the counter! ---------- Also, please start counting Place-Name Correction/Verification, Indexing, etc into the counter/bar charts so that volunteers can see the number of things they have helped to correct (or verify) for all volunteering opportunities, as opposed to only seeing the number of corrections made for the Name Review volunteering opportunity. ---------- Review will change back to 5 stars after the major bug is fixed! ---------- EDIT 13 March 2023: I logged out, deleted the app, redownloaded the app, logged in, and reviewed more names. The bug is not fixed; My changes are not being counted towards the monthly or total "All Names Reviewed" under the "My Contributions" tab. Names I review on the app do not update the My Contributions numbers on the app or the website, whereas names I review on the website still correctly update the My Contributions numbers on both the website and the app. I believe this problem started with the newest software update (Version 1.4.0). ---------- EDIT 28 March 2023: the edit counters in the "My Contributions" tab seem to be fixed now! (app Version 1.4.1) ---------- EDIT 2 April 2023: the "My Contributions" counter is broken again... my contributions are not being counted, so my total number is starting the same and my April edits counter is staying at zero....Version: 1.4.4
✓ Actually pretty goodMakes indexing and family search super easy. They’ve essentially gamified family history and consequently made it more fun to get involved. Easy and not very time consuming..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Very goodI think this is a great project, and I’m excited to help. I like the app because I can do a few names any time I have a few minutes waiting somewhere. I also like that I can zoom the image in very close to make out tricky names, better than on the web site. My main complaint is that the app has not yet fixed the issue of filtering by state. This was fixed on the website to pull up documents from the state in question, while the app still pulls documents from any random state as long a one person came from the filtered state. One star loss for that. Secondarily, a minor issue is that marking an entry Not a Person requires two separate tap actions, while it is a single click on the web site..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Great accuracy!I’m doing 1950 Census and accuracy for character recognition is very close to 100%!!! I love it!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Everyone can help, a little or a lot.I help a little with family history with this app. I spend a few minutes every day reviewing names, maybe waiting in the car, or resting for a few minutes. I review 30 names a day, more on days that I can. The app keeps a total of each months names reviewed. It’s rewarding in a spiritual way, I feel blessings from it..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Beautifully SimplisticIn the first five minutes after downloading the app, I was able to match 30 names. The app is very well designed. I believe just about anyone of any age can regularly use this app to provide a great service in digitizing the names of our ancestors. The technology’s (likely AI models) ability to identify and suggest the names that match the written names is simply impressive. I’ll be using this app to do Family History work, knowing it is helping generations, past, present and future..Version: 1.4.1
✓ One minor thingI absolutely love this app!! I just have a hard time because it won’t let me go back to change a name I’ve finished :/ but other than that definitely 5 stars!!!.Version: 1.4.4
✓ Simple Way to Help With Family HistoryThis app is such a simple easy way to get involved in the family history and it does not take a ton of time. I spent probably 15 to 20 minutes today helping review names in Spanish and I was able to help review over 50 names. This is such a simple way to participate even for busy parents like me who hardly have time to participate. I hope the efforts we put into it are as helpful as they are easy to do..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Easy to use and a great way to do indexingSuper convenient bite-sized family history indexing sessions made so much more intuitive and kinda fun. Try picking a different state if you cannot read any of the names. Family history is another reason kids should still learn cursive ;).Version: 1.1.1
✓ Super easy to use!A fun form of indexing names! Easy and quick to learn and use!.Version: 1.0
✓ Simply WonderfulSimple. Wonderful. Brief. What a great way to get involved with genealogy! You contribute to others while also being engaged in the process! Family Search should have more apps like this one, where ONE function is the focus, and it’s simple and not too time consuming. My teens both saw me do it and said, “wow, let me download it too Dad!” That doesn’t happen very often. Keep it up!.Version: 1.0
✓ Finally, simplicitySo many of my fellow church members still find family history boring and unappealing. Most of them don’t know this app even exists. They take the amount of work and resources required to make it, for granted. From a temple and family history leader…THANK YOU for making this simple, easy to use app that helps us contribute to the foundation of family history work..Version: 1.4.5
