Take a Name is a family history app for LDS Church members who want to take their own family names to the temple. It requires a FamilySearch account with access to LDS ordinances. • Find temple ready ancestors—Take a Name searches the FamilySearch tree for your deceased ancestors and double checks that LDS ordinances are ready for the temple. • Request LDS ordinances and print temple cards – from your phone! • Try before you buy, pick your price—Try Take a Name for free! You can purchase the app when you're ready via in-app purchase. • Less time searching, more time serving—Take a Name typically delivers dozens of temple ready family names in a matter of minutes. It’s genealogy, but easier! • FamilySearch Certified—Kinpoint is a FamilySearch partner, authorized to submit names for temple work. • Data integrity—Take a Name performs a detailed set of data checks to provide confidence that an LDS ordinance is temple ready. It also excludes names of ancestors with unresolved duplicates. Take a Name does far more than simply scraping the FamilySearch website for green temples! Spend time in the temple with your ancestors instead of outside trying to find them. Genealogy has never been so satisfying!
I guess it’s dead
Been using the app for a few years and today it decided that my session expired and no longer connect. My wife had the same issue. I figured an update happened. But it looks like there hasn’t been an update in 5 years. It’s too bad really, it was a very useful tool and helped find available names with ease. Now it’s time to go back to a limited search. I hope the dev can find the time to come back to this and make updates. 5 years is a long time without an update for an app people use a lot.
Constantly crashes
Every time we try to print a name on any of our 4 up to date iOS devices, the app crashes. Also, the form fields don’t work when we try to submit a help request. This app is great in theory, but very buggy when we go to use it. We called Apple and they said it was a developer issue. Hopefully it’ll be fixed soon.
