### 4/5 — Love this site but....

*2019-05-13, version 1.02*

Look everyday and love it! Scott you do great work! Apparently the app has stopped working a few days ago???

### 4/5 — What happened?

*2019-05-12, version 1.02*

I have been enjoying my app since my friend and I took the tour in LA a couple of years ago.  However, nothing has loaded in 2 days.  What’s going on?

### 5/5 — Great fun.

*2019-05-11, version 1.02*

I look forever every day to visiting with Dearly Departed.  Kudos to Scott and all the staff at DD. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — The Ol’ Death Hag Himself

*2019-04-25, version 1.02*

Scott has hit a home run with this podcast. My only criticism- we need them DAILY. 

Note-my demographic = middle age, bald, Southerner, White male, who is EXTREMELY conservative. Go figure?

### 5/5 — Perfect way to start the day

*2019-03-20, version 1.02*

I usually take a look at DD before I get out of bed… Somehow this app makes me feel thrilled to be alive!

### 5/5 — Please fix March 16, 2019

*2019-03-16, version 1.02*

You have Jerry Lewis death day as March 16,  when in fact that date is his birthday. He passed away August 20, 2017.  Love app

### 5/5 — FOR THE DEATH HAG IN ALL OF US 💀

*2017-12-28, version 1.02*

WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT D.D. HAD AN APP,I COULDN’T DOWNLOAD IT FAST ENOUGH 😄

THANK YOU, SCOTT 👍💀

### 5/5 — Mrs

*2017-06-30, version 1.02*

Love this app. We took the Dearly Departed tour and found it both fascinating and at times amusing. Upon suggestion we downloaded the app, it does not disappoint for people who are fascinated with star trivia beyond who is dating who.

### 4/5 — Great app!! Great guy!

*2017-06-22, version 1.02*

Love this app! I had the pleasure of meeting Scott and going on a Dearly Departed tour as part of my birthday present. Scott is a wealth of information! I have always been fascinated with old Hollywood and Scott is an expert! My dream job would be to work at Dearly Departed! Now I can get daily info with this app! Great job!!!

### 4/5 — Needs a search feature

*2017-06-22, version 1.02*

Great app.  Would like to be able to search for a celebrity.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-06-21, version 1.02*

Great app! Cool to see who departed everyday.

### 1/5 — This app does not work!

*2021-05-11, version 1.11*

Why own an app that serves no purpose other than to crash all the time?

### 2/5 — Wanna love this app but can’t....

*2019-08-04, version 1.10*

Many of the dates are incorrect.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2019-07-04, version 1.02*

Get your photos right. The man in the photo for June 28 is James Longstreet.

### 3/5 — Great idea...just has a few kinks

*2019-06-22, version 1.02*

Typos typos typos

### 3/5 — Needs a few things

*2019-02-15, version 1.02*

While great for information and reference, it still needs a few things. I suggest a search box for looking up a particular celebrity. How about listing a few credits (if any) of what the celebrity is known for? Also needs to have a link to your store and any merchandise you sell too.

### 3/5 — Neal

*2019-01-20, version 1.02*

Year of death is sometimes incorrect.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2018-01-17, version 1.02*

But seems to be too many mistakes in dates.

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2016-10-13, version 1.01*

I really liked this app, I used it a couple of days then it started crashing. I deleted it and reinstalled it but it still crashes, I am hoping an update will help

### 4/5 — Very Good History

*2020-07-13, version 1.11*

This app is excellent for noting a famous person’s passing on the given day. Great source of history. However, it needs a proofreader as there are typos in many of the entries.

### 4/5 — Waiting patiently.....FOR NOW!!!

*2019-11-09, version 1.11*

### 5/5 — Details and dead-ication - love this app!

*2023-04-27*

Thanks for your work keeping those who have passed in our present.  This is the first thing I check in the morning. It’s like the Pete Seeger song: “ I get up each morning and dust off my wits, open the paper and read the obits, if I’m not there I know I’m not dead, so I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed”. Scott is the best at what he does.

I love this site.  Went on the Dearly Departed tour last year with Scott.  It was awesome.  He has so much information.  
Today I noticed an error.  Danny Lochin wasn’t killed by Richard Speck.  It was Charles Hopkins.

### 5/5 — Love it!

### 5/5 — Really great

*2019-09-05, version 1.11*

I LOVE ALL THE VIDEOS YOU ARE ADDING TO THE DEATH A DAY !! IT MAKES THE STORIES VERY INTERESTING!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!⚰️⚰️⚰️

### 5/5 — Great app, some incorrect dates

*2019-07-21, version 1.02*

I got this app after hearing about it on the podcast and I love it. I have always found death terrifying, but fascinating. Thanks for a great app, Scott!

I noticed an incorrect date on Louis Armstrong and did not see a way to report it other than here. It said he was 69 when he passed, but the death date of 7/6/41 that is listed would make him 39. Maybe in future updates you could add a way to report issues. I hope I’m not coming off as a jerk. I just feel like with the respect you obviously have for these celebrities you would want to be alerted of a problem so it can be fixed.
