### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2014-05-21, version 1.4*

Very useful app. Searching for obituaries is easy and effective. I don't have to rummage through old newspapers or buy no local newspapers to keep track of obituaries I want to read.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2014-05-20, version 1.4*

This is a great app. It’s really solving a need out there today. I’m able to view obits in my local area and don’t always have to come across a paper. They push new obits directly to my phone. Nice work!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2013-11-30, version 1.3*

Finally there is an app and I don't have to just happen across an obituary in the paper to know if someone I know or care about has passed away. There have been so many times in the past where I didn't know someone passed away until well after the funeral. Now even if that person doesn't live where I live, I can find out by just opening an app on my smartphone.

### 1/5 — Does not find all obits in Amarillo Texas

*2019-07-31, version 2.8*

This app does not bring up obituaries for all funerals or funeral homes in Amarillo or Canyon Texas. Obituaries that it pulls up are for only one funeral home and they are 6 to 12 months old.  This app 4-6 months ago it was always updated and listed current obituaries.

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2017-12-27, version 2.8*

This app sounded good in the description, but it doesn't actually allow you to search for a person's name. Without the ability to search by name, this app is nothing but a waste of time. Don't bother to install!

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2017-06-21, version 2.8*

Very time consuming to use. It could not even find obits when I knew and input exact information.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-04-15, version 2.8*

My dad died in 1978, app found nothing. Searched for dead ortho surgeon cousin with known obit. Zippo. Have to rate this as pretty useless.

### 1/5 — Use to be good

*2016-03-03, version 2.0*

Use to be good before they fixed it . Tried signing up several times , just is not user friendly

### 1/5 — 0903

*2015-06-03, version 1.7*

I tried to enter two cities, both of which were included in the list.  Both times it said "invalid response."  Can't use it at all.

### 1/5 — Invalid request

*2015-05-16, version 1.7*

Evidently Amarillo, TX is an invalid request.

### 1/5 — First impression not so good

*2014-03-20, version 1.3*

I added Chicago as the city and there is only one person currently that popped up. I assumed it might be all CURRENT obits active in Chicago but I was wrong. Perhaps it only pushes new obits out to my phone? I would like to see all current obits and be able to search them all. Maybe this app is not for me.

### 1/5 — Don't even bother...yet

*2013-10-22, version 1.1*

Definitely not up to any kind of useful level. I live in the sixth largest city and doesn't seem to pick anything up. Navigation isn't good and just leads you in circles without realizing it's the app that has no info. Felt like I was doing something wrong but alas it wasn't me. Saw a presentation at a convention and the presenter couldn't get any info out of the app either. This app has a lot of work ahead of themselves. They have potential but it isn't realized yet.

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT

*2017-06-20, version 2.8*

This is an awesome app! You simply type in deceaseds first and last name which pops up tap name and ob appears.I highly recommend!

### 5/5 — The Funeral App

*2016-12-09, version 2.6*

I think this app is a great idea!  I have been following it recently and fortunately I have had alerts on funerals in the town where I reside.  It looks like the app people are making improvements but it also appears that funeral homes need to get with this app to share the obits for their own clientele as well as the public.  I don't take the newspaper any more so this is a great service.  Everyone needs to encourage his/her favorite funeral home  to work with this app!!

### 5/5 — Very Useful!

*2016-09-04, version 2.6*

I often need to find out the details of a funeral at the last minute … like where and when it’s going to be. The Funeral App so handy.

### 5/5 — Regional Director Child Nutrition-SFE

*2016-06-19, version 2.4*

Easy to use. Love the option of picking any City/State in USA, since I travel a lot and like to know if I can make a service in the area if needed.

### 5/5 — Friend and patron

*2016-06-19, version 2.4*

This is the best app...I would have missed many deaths in various towns if it weren't for this funeral app...it's awesome and thanks to boxwell brothers!!

### 5/5 — Marsha

*2016-01-25, version 1.7.1*

A month ago, when I would use the app, the city/state would be on the screen. But now I have to input city/state each time I use it . Why doesn't it hold the city/state in memory like it did a month ago?

### 5/5 — Mr.

*2015-04-07, version 1.6*

Several towns I have lived in have obituary listings and I can view them for free
Thanks

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2015-03-15, version 1.6*

I have friends and family all over the country. With this app, I am sure to get information that might not be passed on to me. Thanks again for this wonderful app!

### 5/5 — Great idea!

*2015-03-14, version 1.6*

Such a great idea. This app works great on my iPhone. I can now keep up to date info from my favorite cities.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2014-06-19, version 1.4*

I look at this app everyday! Helps me keep up with my hometown and send cards/flowers when I need to.
