Excellent App
I use this app almost daily to participate in Family History work. This app’s simple interface makes it extremely easy to review indexed names so they can progress towards becoming searchable in the database. I can’t wait for other Family History opportunities to come out on the app one day!

It’s asome I love it except I wish it was like a computation so there was more motivation to do these others than that I feel my saviors love when I do these cause I’m helping others who cannot help themselves
Great app, but I have an issue :(
This is a great app, but I’ve been having an issue. I’m stuck reviewing documents in a different language! I haven’t been able to find a way to fix this, and would love some explanation. I’m pretty sure I accidentally selected Spanish as the language of the documents I want to review, but I can’t find my way back to that. Any tips? Thanks ❤️

Noice!!!
I really like this!!! It is super fun for some reason and it’s also like can you read that name.
Incredible App! A joy to use!
I love this app because of how easy it is to help index genealogical information. The amazing bonus is that you get to see how your contributions are used in family history and temple work.
Fantastic
Provides a fantastic way to help the world instead of scrolling on random YouTube videos
I Can Make A Difference
The Update is great. I like the addition of Standardized Places. Good that you dropped the Flagged-label of “Incorrect Highlight.”
Often, US Records with the State blank issues an error: No Records Found for this…”. Adding a State from the selection resolves this.
I do New Zealand records or Peorto Rico to help keep my mind sharp.
My Contributions for April 2025 are missing. April shows a blank for me.
My biggest complaint is the Apple keyboard when editing: press-and-hold spacebar to move the cursor.
Great work! Dan Peay

My review
Amazing, just a little hard if you don’t know cursive like me
6/5 stars
This app is a great tool! It is something that I try to substitute for mindless scrolling or while I have a few minutes of spare time!
Overall 6/5 stars & am looking forward to them continuing to add new countries to the app.

Needs some work
Needs a place to flag issues and explain what they are. Had a document in French come up in the US docs (luckily I can read French) highlights were all on the wrong words, highlighting streets and words like “house” and “before” instead of the actual names in the document. Also had one document scanned in upside-down creating a similar issue where the highlights were trying to make names out of upside-down words but completely missed the actual names in that part of the document. It’s nice to pull up and work on, simple enough. Just needs some tweaks to allow for more accuracy.

Amazing
This is a great app for connecting not only us, but everybody around us
Unfortunately an error occurred
Every. Single. Time.
Also you used to be able to pick (in increments of 10 I think) how many names you’d like to reviews. Now it only lets you do 5 and then you get and error every time you finish the 5. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just like your main app this one has been ruined as well.

It is missing most countries where my ancestors came from so I am unable to do research.

Really needs a cursive reference sheet
This app is great! But I wish that it had the chart with the multiple different ways letters are written, like indexing online does.
I also hear that it doesn’t contribute to your family search account index counter, but I haven’t used it long enough to check if that’s true, though I am not too bothered by that.

Easy to understand
When you first login it teaches you the basics of how to use to app. Although it doesn’t always have English documents, you can still do the other languages because you aren’t translating the document (all the words you need to understand are translated in your preferred language).
SO MUCH FUN
THIS HAS REPLACED MY SOCIAL MEDIA. In one month I almost quick indexed 1500 names. I feel so much more productive. It is also fascinating to look at all these documents. I am a young person and I love it. I have showed the other people in my Young Women class how to do it.
Meaningful! Needs improvement.
Feels like I’m doing something valuable with my free time! I also love that it shows the path of your contribution, like how you help index a name and someone attached it to a person and took that name to the temple, which temple, etc. So meaningful.
Improvements: I feel that each document zooms in too close to the name so you can’t even see the full name, making you pinch out to make sure you’re not missing a middle or first name when confirming. I also think there should be a way to flag that it’s an incorrect highlight and fix it, or marking that “Auckland Australia” is not a person without having it automatically skip to the next document because the rest of the document is a person, or mark that the computer skipped a first name and only highlighted the first and last name.
Hope that all makes sense and can lead to app improvements.

Great app (with a few bugs)
EDIT June 2024: Bug Alert: Clicking "Not a Person" causes a bug where the next name shown has the same incorrect name written in the suggestion box above it. Example: Clicking "Not a Person" on the word VICTORIA (referring to Victoria, Australia) then goes on to the next name. It shows someone's name, but the suggestion box above it now says VICTORIA. ---------- EDIT 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 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 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 March 2023: the edit counters in the "My Contributions" tab seem to be fixed now! (app Version 1.4.1) ---------- EDIT 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...
