"Works pretty well, except the arrow back option seems to confuse the app sometimes."

"I love the app, along with the computer online version. It`s a great way to pass the time, asking with helping others learn their genealogy. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because some places aren`t available. For example, within the United States of America, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa are not there. I`m sure there are more, but these are the ones I noticed. Otherwise, great app."

"Why not tell us which countries are available BEFORE we install? It is just irritating to install, and then find all the countries available are ones that use a different language from me, so I`m more likely to be wasting my time looking."

"I`m not sure how to rate this. I love the idea, and want to help where I can. However, the app is huge and takes up way too much space on my phone. It`s easily twice as big as the next biggest app. I`m planning to delete the app as soon as I finish helping my favorite state`s census project. There are a lot of other things I`d rather have on my phone."

"Love the idea but it is frustrating when it has you review the same name 3 or 4 times at the same place on the page, without moving to a new highlight. It would also be nice to have more instruction before starting. I only found I could say incorrect highlight or not a person because I was curious what the flag meant. A lot of people probably don`t know. I would also like to be able to edit the name while zoomed out so I can see the whole name."

"For a time, this was a fantastic app. I was able to review hundreds of names. The only issue was when something other than the census came up for review. But in the last couple of weeks, it`s barely working. I`m wondering if all or almost all of the 1950 Census names are finished. I would love to think that now we can search the census, but that`s not yet the case."

"If social media cannot remember your saved password and keep it secure from breeches caused by being compromised on social media platforms by other medias sincing or copying your passwords on every website you sign-in to; The demand more ways to ascertain all of your private information by alledging they cannot remember your passwords, is a farce to cover up the facts that it is META and Google, as well as all other media, is gathering all persons identity to supply The Mormon Temples for Satan."

"I appreciate FamilySearch for their unique, interesting & entertaining ways of gathering and building one`s genealogical information; as well as the ways they motivate others to get involved gathering more information through crowd-sourcing opportunities. However when considering the vast amount of data they continue to gather through the hard-work of people outside of their organization, it would behoove them to offer some sort of `credits` to those who volunteer their time to help them grow."

DESCRIPTION
Historical records—like immigration papers and birth certificates—can help people learn interesting and valuable insights about their family.
Problem is, many of those insights are locked away in documents that are not easily searchable.
FamilySearch Get Involved provides simple tools to unlock the family names in those documents so they can be searched online for free.
How it works
FamilySearch 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.
• Help people find their ancestors online.
• Focus on a country that is important to you.
• Give back to the genealogy community.
• Use spare time in a meaningful way.
Even correcting just one name makes a big difference. The names you will see in the Get Involved app are real people that have been lost to history until now. With your help, these people can be reunited with their family across generations.
