### 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.

### 1/5 — Obit App

*2024-01-17, version 2.2.2*

Worst app ever!

### 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.

### 1/5 — Limited cities

*2022-10-08, version 2.0.4*

This app has a limited amount of cities. The medium and small cities that I wanted weren’t available. 
This app also wants your birth date to open an account. You have to scroll through the calendar to find your birthdate so the older you are the more scrolling you will have to do.

### 1/5 — It’s hard to even log in

*2021-11-08, version 1.0.17*

It says successful & then doesn’t even actually log in. 🤷🏻‍♀️

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Works poorly

*2022-10-14, version 2.0.4*

The only cities I can search are one that start with the letter A

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-09-29, version 2.0.3*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Great job!!

*2019-07-26, version 1.0*

This app is easy to load, configure, and navigate within. Very well done!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-07-25, version 1.0*

I’m a pastor and this app is very helpful. I can access needed information in seconds on my iPhone. Thanks for a job well done!

### 3/5 — Needs Better Organized

*2023-12-23, version 2.2.2*

Search results are not related to actual search.

### 3/5 — Too many duplicates

*2020-01-22, version 1.0.2*

Nice looking app with all the right stuff. Loads obits slowly because of too many duplicates. Does not allow contacting support without your phone number even though they show your email address. Ok otherwise.

### 2/5 — Names

*2022-10-31, version 2.0.4*

I don’t like not being able to see the whole name

### 2/5 — Crappy App

*2022-08-19, version 1.3.5*

I have added two obits
And can not find them
