When Take a Name searches 24,021 names and only finds the 135 ordinances you already reserved... Lol I like this app. I would never have found the like 50 names I did without it - that would have been years of digging. Saved me so much effort.
Love But...

I truly love the concept of this app. I used it for the first time and was super excited that I could reserve a name, make the card a pdf, and get it printed at the temple in a couple of minutes. It made temple work feel so easy. BUT, it only works if you are sure all information is correct on your family search tree. I realized this when I told my friend about this app; she got her name printed only to realize that there was a possibility of a duplicate on her family search. Fearfully, I looked back at my family tree and noticed that the name I was provided by the app was actually one that had an unresolved issue. She had 3 different sets of parents written on her bio. So I don’t even know if I did the correct ordinance for her. I HIGHLY advice anyone using this app to verify on their family search before reserving and printing the name.

The take a name app doesn't work well for me. When I search up male baptisms and confirmations I get females and many males that their work has already been done. Also, it comes up with a random number of names, sometimes more and sometimes less names. Maybe it is just my device but only a few of the people's names haven't been done.

Makes taking names possible for the modern temple goer. Pros: - Removes need to manage physical temple cards. - Finds names for kids to take for baptisms the night before. - Finds a family name to take 5 min before leaving for a session and print the card from your mobile. - Reserve responsibly and with context. Improvements: - Search is slow. Family Search... you listening? - Add goal dates/reminders for reserved names. - Add calendar integrations. When will you do this name? Push a Name/names to a calendar event. - Add assignments feature to become a family facilitator of the work. Assign a name to anyone in your family via SMS/email. Set a timer on the delegated assignment and track whether they did it in the background by background polls to Family Search. Auto expire an assignment. - ....

So much of my family history work has already been completed by others (research & completed temple work) that it has been hard for me to know where to begin. Within one hour of clicking the search button, 17,000 of my ancestors records had been searched and Take a Name found 20 individuals that still need temple work done for them. With a few more clicks I printed the temple cards at home and had them in hand ready to take to the temple! I also now have 20 new starting points to begin researching from to find more of my ancestors ?
Great app

Great app! Totally better than anything else on the market right now. I got to meet one of the developers at rootstech and they're really great people.
Outstanding, useful, well-designed

I'm surprised someone hasn't solved this problem before. The app is easy to use and finding names is now a very quick process. I really respect that they let you pick your price to buy after you try it out (and they even let you unlock it for free if you check "I Really Can't Afford It."
Great app!

This has been really useful and has made searching for names so much easier, even exciting.
SO GOOD AND SOOOO EASY!!!

I've spent hours in the past trying to find family names and have never been able to find anything. In just a few minutes this app found plenty of ordinances for me to do. I'm stoked to finally be able to do family names at the temple!
