BillionGraves App
The BillionGraves app is wonderful app to use it does all sorts of things by finding the nearest Cemetery and research the person name into the app and the GPS it great help for those who can’t find there relatives at the cemetery and it will help them to pin point there family relatives.
Found great grandma!
We spent an hour searching the cemetery for my great grandparents’ graves and could not find them for the life of us. The app was slow and the search was super buggy (for some reason her full name showed no results, but we found her full name result via searching last name only) so you should try a number of combinations if you can’t find your person, but eventually it WORKED! The gps map wouldn’t load on web which is why I downloaded the app but it finally loaded and we found her right near the map pin. Thank you to the developers and volunteers of this service.

Frequently crashes
Crashes half the time when I click on a photo request. Can’t see the name of the grave requested unless I press and hold in the blank space under the barely visible heading “Names Requested” (problem supporting light/dark modes?).
Great when it works
It keeps freezing up on my iPhone. After looking at the photo of the grave marker, I am unable to get back to the main page without shutting down my phone and restarting.
BillionGraves App
The BillionGraves app is wonderful tool to use when you take photo of the headstone it has GPS Marker on it and help the relative to find there love ones and there family relatives and to search out there Ancestors to and there generation to and there family to and loved ones to.
Uninstalled
Apparently my relatives graves don’t exist, but of course I know they do. This app is no longer worthy of space on my iPhone.
Interesting!
I found the Billion Graves app on the Just Serve app a couple weeks ago. It is so interesting who to the cemeteries. There are so many in my area that need photos taken. It’s easy to use. Just taking photos like you normally would.
The good and bad
There are many things to like about building Graves. Their GPS is fairly good although I’ve gone to one cemetery and looked for the gravesite and it says I’m standing but it’s not there. I have a paid subscription and I have to watch. Let the app has me as advanced rather than basic. This causes a lot of wasted time and grief if you are advanced, it should leave that alone. If you’re standing in the cemetery and asked for directions, it should figure out where you are and not give you directions from your home.

Great Mission
Great software, great mission protecting the history that is rapidly disappearing. Multiple ways to get involved. Give it a try!
Worse UI than graves
App can be used, i had no error in that. But that UI is just TERRIBLE. Chaotic, old. Sometimes things doesn’t make sense. The flow of adding images to the cemetery is really stupid. You have to take photos of headstones IN THE APP. Why can’t i just assign the cemetery? Or why app don’t read location from my photo? It’s in the metadata.
Please work on that UI/UX part, i understand that this is not Instagram 2.0, but this is just terrible.

Can’t ever get signed in!!
Every time I go to this ap & put in my password it tells me it’s the wrong password. When I requested that I forgot my password so I could change it it wouldn’t take the new password either. Finally I just delegated the ap & today gonna try to download again from ap store! I’ll let ya know what happens!

Clumsy & useless
Why does this have such a good rating? I’m not an idiot, and I’ve spent an hour trying to figure out how to work this dumb thing to add photos of headstones. If you rotate it too many times you can’t turn it back and it’s stuck sideways. Once they’re uploaded I can’t see any way to transcribe them. Uploading took forever because the “upload” button is hidden until you tap on the background. I’m deleting this app and sticking with find a grave. Billion graves is on its way out.

Bad
Don’t waste your money!
Annoying
Needs a lot of work.
Problem z przesyłaniem zdjęć
Cały czas jest problem z przesyłaniem zdjęć. Trzeba zaznaczać p po 2-3 zdjęcia, bo w ogóle nie chcą się wysyłać. A i wtedy często się nie wysyłają. Niby się kręci, ale nic się nie wysyła.
Bird’s Eye Bonkers
If you zoom out to place a large region in view the app will load every reference location instead an aggregate counter like RE apps, this slows the app considerably—just basic usability oversight.
Kompletna porażka
Nic nie działa, ciągle się wysypuje, kompletnie nie intuicyjna, kompletnie nieużyteczna, utrzymywanie tej aplikacji zatrzymało się chyba w momencie gdy ona powstała i nie jest dalej rozwijana.
please get ai
chat gpt would help cuz then you wont have to transcribe then just take and upload
Upload
Some of my photos didn’t upload but otherwise good
Catch the past before it vanishes!
Visiting the odd cemetery from time to time I was surprised how many memorials were lost, fallen over or ‘recycled’. Many had inscriptions that were fading or the underlying stone is being eaten away and becoming unreadable. BG manages to capture these memorials before they suffer oblivion and can let you see them (usually) in a better condition than you would today. Check whether you can help and cover your local Cemy before it is too late - it’s great exercise and you’ll help many people trace their ancestors!
