United StatesFamilySearch International uses sophisticated scanning technology to find ancestor names in historical records. Most of the time the computer can recognize the correct name. But it can’t always get it right. Using FamilySearch Get Involved, anyone can quickly review names in historical records and verify what the computer found or flag any errors. Each name that gets corrected is a person that can now be found by their living family.
Please add not a person button
Great app. Super easy to use and allows zooming into documents. Something that can be upgraded is adding a single tap button for “not a person”. Thank you!
United StatesGreat app
Love the app keeps me more motivated though out the day. The only thing I think would be nice is to add a button for duplicated highlights.
United StatesFinally, simplicity
So many of my fellow church members still find family history boring and unappealing. Most of them don’t know this app even exists. They take the amount of work and resources required to make it, for granted. From a temple and family history leader…THANK YOU for making this simple, easy to use app that helps us contribute to the foundation of family history work.
United StatesAmazing:))
Amazing:))!
United StatesTeen friendly
Love this simple way to contribute to indexing.
United StatesOne minor thing
I absolutely love this app!! I just have a hard time because it won’t let me go back to change a name I’ve finished :/ but other than that definitely 5 stars!!!
United States"My Contributions" is FIXED!
EDIT 5 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 11 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 9 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 28 March 2023: the edit counters in the "My Contributions" tab seem to be fixed now! (app Version 1.4.1) ---------- EDIT 2 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...
