Fraudulent billing

advertised as $.99/month billed monthly for unlimited filters. I was charged $19.99 on the first day of use. Currently pursuing refund via Apple.

Why is it limited to the states.

I hate it when apps and sites do this. Where is the option for other areas of the world. Only the United States. Yes. That’s it. That’s the whole world.

THIS IS A SCAM

Do not download this app, after downloading it I was hit was multiple viruses and had my Apple ID hacked. They tried to charge my card close to a $1000. This app is just a way for hackers to get your info

Useless

Couldn’t find any obits from any relative.

Useless without a city and state

Just to test this I put in Edward Van Halen, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg didn’t put in the city or state - got no results.

What if you’re looking for a loved one and you don’t know what city they were in?

Response from developer

We also did the above searches and came up with no results. The only reason we can come up with is most celebrity or national figures get front page stories written about them. So their obituary rarely appears in the “obituary” section of the newspaper. We take our obituaries from the obituary section daily. We will be coming out with a celebrity death section soon and an “on this day” section…soon (optional, of course.). Hope this helps.

False advertising imo

Can’t get notifications u less you pay 0.99/month. Not right to list that as a feature and say it’s a free app. Deleting. Glad I didn’t give them any good info in their account creation process.

Response from developer

We are sorry you feel that way. It was not our intent to mislead. Singular searches of our database are free. In order to notify you of particular deaths of interest we had to charge for the cost to develop that portion of the app. We do not and will never sell anyone’s information. We are also as free to prevent tracking and present a tasteful product. We appreciate your opinion. Thanks for taking the time.

Please help

I liked the app, until I went back to update details and add service information, and it keeps shutting down on me. I feel like there should be a customer support line because now I cannot update people as to the details of services to come, and I already paid $20 for a posting. Please help.

Needs work

I tried using it but when I type my text it appears invisible. Impossible to use if your text doesn’t appear when you type.

Response from developer

Thanks for your input, because of it we have discovered a glitch with the newest OS (13.3.1) update while in “dark mode” a number text boxes are not visible. We will address it immediately. Good call !!

Very solid app

App does exactly what it says it does. The ability to easily create and share obituaries is super useful. Being able to purchase obituary services via the app (like sending flowers) is great as well.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to review MyObits. We are happy you found our app useful during your time of need.

Great app

Easy to create and share. Nice feature is being able to edit...everyone makes mistakes but with this app, you can change it, unlike the newspaper. I’ll share with my friends who may need this in the future.

Response from developer
