BillionGraves

I am using iPad, in the front page after clicking into Records or Cemeteries, there is no way for me to go back to front page again unless I turn the app off and reopen it again. I don't know if this is because the app doesn't support iPad?

Some of my photos didn’t upload but otherwise good

I really wanted to like this app. But basic usability issues like white text on a white background (photo requests area) make it next to impossible. Icons/buttons that are placeholders to links but *not actually links* shouldn’t look the same as those that go somewhere. Clicking on a headstone image should take you to the associated record. These very basic issues should not exist on an app that *relies* on volunteers recording information. Add to that the fact that the company turns around and sells access to the information freely donated, and you have something not worth the effort.

Don’t waste your money!

If I could transcribe from the app, I would give this app more stars. Up your game. Make this an available option.

Billion Graves is a fun app with tremendous potential. However, its outdated design gives the impression of using a relic from 2008 instead of a cutting-edge app in 2023. Improved aesthetics and modern features would greatly enhance the user experience. At times, finding certain features can be challenging, like discovering the ability to effortlessly link images or transcribe inscriptions directly at the graveyard. Despite these usability issues, the app's incredible purpose shines through, and I find myself relying on it extensively. With a refreshed design and improved feature discoverability, Billion Graves could become an absolute standout in its field.

Great way to find relatives both known and unknown. Plus if found a GPS location will show exact place of burial and image of the headstone. I have entered many and helped thousands find their family. You can volunteer and record cemeteries nearby.

This app has never found a single family member. I even put in the names in my family’s graveyard. Nothing. Waste of space.

Amazing in so many ways

Have not used the app on a long while. Was at my family’s cemetery plot, took pictures and that is where the intuitiveness falls completely apart. I WANT to be able to take a pic and immediately input the headstone details. The app sat and spun for an hour. Waste of time! Great concept that needs a complete overhaul to be functional in the field.
