I was charged $19.99 on the first day of use. Currently pursuing refund via Apple. ### 1/5 — Why is it limited to the states. *2024-03-29, version 3.1.1* I hate it when apps and sites do this. Where is the option for other areas of the world. Only the United States. Yes. That’s it. That’s the whole world. ### 1/5 — THIS IS A SCAM *2023-09-28, version 3.1.1* Do not download this app, after downloading it I was hit was multiple viruses and had my Apple ID hacked. They tried to charge my card close to a $1000. This app is just a way for hackers to get your info ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-10-23, version 2.9* Couldn’t find any obits from any relative. ### 1/5 — Useless without a city and state *2021-09-25, version 2.9* Just to test this I put in Edward Van Halen, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg didn’t put in the city or state - got no results. What if you’re looking for a loved one and you don’t know what city they were in? ### 1/5 — False advertising imo *2021-05-14, version 2.9* Can’t get notifications u less you pay 0.99/month. Not right to list that as a feature and say it’s a free app. Deleting. Glad I didn’t give them any good info in their account creation process. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2020-02-08, version 2.2* I tried using it but when I type my text it appears invisible. Impossible to use if your text doesn’t appear when you type. ### 1/5 — Purchased? *2019-04-05, version 1.6* I downloaded this app, pressed the button to open and it tells me “thank you for your purchase “. What purchase? I merely wanted to go in and see how this app worked , I didn’t want to purchase anything! And what did I purchase? The .99/month option or the $35 option? This app doesn’t tell what you bought and I didn’t want to buy anything. Now, how do I get out of this mess???? I don’t want this app and I don’t want to be stuck paying for something. Beware! This app is very sneaky and deceiving! ### 1/5 — Joke *2018-12-06, version 1.3* It’s a joke I typed in one name and Immediately responded with no obits found. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Subscribes you to monthly fee *2018-10-05, version 1.1* I just wanted to see if this app was worth the effort and entered a search term into its obit search form. Up pops a message that I have subscribed to the unlimited obit search option for 99 cents a month. I didn’t create an account and there was no option to choose no, I don’t want to subscribe. I also can’t find any menu in the app where I can op out or stop the subscription. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Idk *2026-04-16, version 4.0* My dad made it ### 5/5 — Very solid app *2019-08-17, version 1.8* App does exactly what it says it does. The ability to easily create and share obituaries is super useful. Being able to purchase obituary services via the app (like sending flowers) is great as well. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-08-06, version 1.8* Easy to create and share. Nice feature is being able to edit...everyone makes mistakes but with this app, you can change it, unlike the newspaper. I’ll share with my friends who may need this in the future. ### 5/5 — A Much Needed Solution to Posting Obituaries *2018-12-06, version 1.3* I’m glad that someone made an app to ease the process of creating and listing an obituary. I’m not the most tech savvy person but even I found the app to be easy to navigate through. I was able to post my obituary for a much lower price than what my local newspaper was asking for. I loved that I could share my obituary with my friends and family who live in other states. It’s a difficult process when losing a loved one but this app made part of the process much easier, and for that, I am thankful. Highly recommended!! ### 3/5 — Please help *2020-07-16, version 2.7* I liked the app, until I went back to update details and add service information, and it keeps shutting down on me. I feel like there should be a customer support line because now I cannot update people as to the details of services to come, and I already paid $20 for a posting. Please help. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
