My Content

I have my parents gravesite saved in My Content. I haven’t been able to bring it up since the latest update. The app just closes as soon as I click on My content.


App Not Working

Whenever I try to access MyContent, the app shuts down. Very disappointing. I need the information this app offered me. I hope you can fix it soon.


App designed by committee

There’s certainly lots of info and were I looking for a specific grave it might be useful, but for the average visitor it’s functionally worthless. The UX is garbage and the map navigation is worse. It’s free and worth every penny. Google maps does a much better job of getting you to the salient locations. Don’t waste your time.


Search does not work

Search for a grave feature would not work. Kept saying "You need to be connected to the internet to use this feature." I was connected to the internet. Deleted the app.


Works in some aspects

The app is very nice for searching for different areas of the cemetery and great for getting around. I just don’t like that there are features that seem to have issues in ALL updates; one mainly being the details section of the search results. I LOVE that I can locate my grandmothers location with the app as I don’t get to go here often enough to remember how to get there. But there is a feature that when you search a persons grave they show the tomb; when I got to see hers it was so nice to get to see it even though I couldn’t be there. However that only worked like once and always gives a network error message when I try since (multiple times over a couple years). I still recommend this app as it is still a wonderful help to get around and unless you have family (or someone specific) you want to see a picture of their grave; the problematic issue I seem to have won’t even effect you.

Found friends and family off of last names and year of death. Easy to use for navigation and planning routes. If you need to know the cemetery, this is the way to do it.


Search nonfunctional...

...therefore useless.


Notable Women incomplete

This was an easy and convenient way to find my way around the cemetery. However, please review the notable women list - if you are missing Jacqueline Kennedy, what other women have been overlooked?


Search Function is Garbage

Search function is absolute garbage.


Awful, especially since this is such a honored place!

Can’t view the map. Pretty basic problem. Fix this, developer!
