## What is The Obituary App?

As funeral homes across America post obituaries to their respective funeral home website, The Obituary App organizes them all into particular cities. Now, a user can look at all the obituaries posted by multiple funeral homes in one place.
 
There are two obituary feeds within The Obituary App. Users can save multiple cities in either feed in the menu section labeled “Manage Cities”. Users must follow at least one city in a feed to populate obituaries.
 
We encourage larger towns to be placed in a user’s “Focused” feed.  Here users will see only obituaries from funeral homes in that city or deaths that have taken place in that city.
 
We encourage users to place smaller cities in their “Relevant” feed.  In this case, if an obituary mentions that town, the obituary will be in the “Relevant” feed. For example, if a descendant was born in XYZ city, or got married in XYZ city, or formerly lived in XYZ city, has relatives living in XYZ city, that obituary will show up in a user's feed if they follow XYZ city.
 
A feed consists of Obituary cards, similar to a drivers license; An obit card consists of the decedent's name, photo and age (if available), the city in which the death took place, and multiple functions for the user.  A user can express condolences, send flowers through the funeral home website, view the full obituary, share through email or social media, save to one's own personal memory wall, indicate an intention of attending the funeral or memorial service, or report the obituary for misinformation.
 
Users may claim an obituary we post and become the administrator. Being the administrator, our product now allows other users to make comments or share photos. The administrator can allow or reject the submissions from other users.
 
A huge historical database of who died “On This Day” is available in the menu for interesting reading.
 
Obituaries are a way that families summarize the life of a loved one or try to put it into words. The obituary provides an awareness of a day, time and place that a funeral or memorial service might take place.  
 
Through our app, the community of family, friends, business relationships and acquaintances can engage and be there for people in an often difficult time.

### 1/5 — Quit Working!

*2026-05-05, version 2.6.6*

This *was* a really useful app - but it’s totally quit updating! The last obituary it is showing was posted on 3/15/26 - and today is 5/5/26. Is this going to be updated?

### 1/5 — App not working

*2025-10-26, version 2.6.6*

App not allowing me to enter anything can’t even contact you on the app

### 1/5 — Signing Up

*2024-08-30, version 2.6.3*

The “city” field is not interactive. Therefore, the app is not allowing me to sign up. 
When I clicked on support or website, it took me back to sign up.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-03-22, version 2.4.0*

This is not a place to find obituaries from a couple years ago which is what I was looking for. All of the searches on the web what to tell you their entire life story and charge you for it. If I can get my money back for a 1 year subscription I would appreciate it.

### 5/5 — Thank you Obituary App

*2024-01-18, version 2.2.3*

I am grateful to have all of my local obituaries in one place. The Memory Wall has been a blessing for me to go back an visit often.

### 1/5 — Obit App

*2024-01-17, version 2.2.2*

Worst app ever!

### 2/5 — Unusable

*2023-12-25, version 2.2.2*

I downloaded this app. But it would not allow me to sign up. 

I was able to add information to each of the fields, except for the password field. For some reason it would not let me create a password. 

Sounds like the app has great potential.

Wish I could use it.

### 3/5 — Needs Better Organized

*2023-12-23, version 2.2.2*

Search results are not related to actual search.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-11-04, version 2.2.2*

Terrible search functions… annoying pop ups - just an overall terrible experience!!

### 1/5 — Can’t log on

*2023-06-07, version 2.1.5*

When I enter my username and password, it says use Facebook. When I use Facebook, it says my account isn’t connected.
