Simple Way to Help With Family History
This 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.

So much better than indexing
This 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!!!
Simply Wonderful
Simple. 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!

Impressive tech, uncertain UI
I 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.

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.

Highlights
Thank you so much for this app! I like how you can type names from a phone. I just wish you can make your own highlights if needed because sometimes the computer misses parts of a name or mistakes a word for a name.
Index (Review Records) from your phone
This 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!

Super easy to use!
A fun form of indexing names! Easy and quick to learn and use!
So Easy and Fast
I 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.
