## FamilySearch Get Involved Description
FamilySearch 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.

## FamilySearch Get Involved Reviews in United States

### *---- "Unfortunately an error occurred"
Every. Single. Time. 

Also you used to be able to pick (in increments of 10 I think) how many names you’d like to reviews. Now it only lets you do 5 and then you get and error every time you finish the 5. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just like your main app this one has been ruined as well.
-- It’s Just Me Not You, 2025-01-04

### ***** "i feel closer to god"
love the chance to help others receive the holy ghost in a powerful but simple way
-- que davis is w, 2024-12-20

### ****- "Really needs a cursive reference sheet"
This app is great! But I wish that it had the chart with the multiple different ways letters are written, like indexing online does. 
I also hear that it doesn’t contribute to your family search account index counter, but I haven’t used it long enough to check if that’s true, though I am not too bothered by that.
-- Goata33, 2024-11-10

### ***** "Easy to understand"
When you first login it teaches you the basics of how to use to app. Although it doesn’t always have English documents, you can still do the other languages because you aren’t translating the document (all the words you need to understand are translated in your preferred language).
-- Family searcher101, 2024-10-27

### ***** "SO MUCH FUN"
THIS HAS REPLACED MY SOCIAL MEDIA. In one month I almost quick indexed 1500 names. I feel so much more productive. It is also fascinating to look at all these documents. I am a young person and I love it. I have showed the other people in my Young Women class how to do it.
-- Marching_Band ❤️, 2024-09-22

### ****- "Meaningful! Needs improvement."
Feels like I’m doing something valuable with my free time! I also love that it shows the path of your contribution, like how you help index a name and someone attached it to a person and took that name to the temple, which temple, etc. So meaningful.  

Improvements: I feel that each document zooms in too close to the name so you can’t even see the full name, making you pinch out to make sure you’re not missing a middle or first name when confirming. I also think there should be a way to flag that it’s an incorrect highlight and fix it, or marking that “Auckland Australia” is not a person without having it automatically skip to the next document because the rest of the document is a person, or mark that the computer skipped a first name and only highlighted the first and last name. 

Hope that all makes sense and can lead to app improvements.

### ***** "Great app (with a few bugs)"
EDIT June 2024: Bug Alert: Clicking "Not a Person" causes a bug where the next name shown has the same incorrect name written in the suggestion box above it. Example: Clicking "Not a Person" on the word VICTORIA (referring to Victoria, Australia) then goes on to the next name. It shows someone's name, but the suggestion box above it now says VICTORIA. ---------- EDIT 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 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 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 March 2023: the edit counters in the "My Contributions" tab seem to be fixed now! (app Version 1.4.1) ---------- EDIT April 2023: the "My Contributions" counter is broken again... my contributions are not being counted, so my total number is starting the sa

### ****- "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!
-- pocketnbeautyy, 2024-04-08

### ****- "Great 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.
-- We1776gone, 2024-03-26

### ***** "Finally, 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.
