Take a Name LDS Family Historyの評価・口コミ・レビュー [iPhone]

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.

I got pretty involved in family history a couple of years ago, but after floundering through Norwegian records from the 1600s for several months I felt lost and discouraged and eventually quit. When someone recommended this app to me I was skeptical of finding any names, but I tried it. It took several hours and 20,000 records, but it found 5 people who need ordinances--and perhaps more importantly, it got me excited about family history again.
Now, when I get stumped in one branch it can show me holes in other places--in addition to saving me the weeks or months of manually combing my family tree. Thank you to the developers for creating such a useful and time saving tool for family history!

Take A Name searches FamilySearch for your ancestors with incomplete ordinance work. Tap a name; tap to reserve; tap "print" to print name cards. Boom. Done. Almost too easy.

I come from long LDS lines and had never done ordinance work for my own ancestors because I couldn't find any available. In seconds, Take A Name found my 8th great-grandfather, born in 1660, and today I began his work.

Take A Name really shouldn't be an app. It should be a feature of FamilySearch. But since FamilySearch doesn't do that, Take A Name fills the gap and provides essential functionality.

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

I have long felt I needed to get involved with researching my ancestors. This app has truly helped give me the motivation to get started and commit myself to this project. I urge all to "purchase"(donate to) the app. I can only imagine how taxing this app must be on its servers. So if people can donate they can increase bandwidth and speed up the app. Overall though great work!

Thank you for this app!!!! Family temple work for millennials is going to boom! It will make my life easier too when I need to grab a name before I head to the temple. I've already got my names ready for a trip to the Houston temple next week. I LOVE that this connects straight to your Family Search account. Doesn't get any easier than this.

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."

I'm a stake temple and family history worker and am familiar with many apps and tools for finding names for the temple. This is the best. Everyone with a full or partial tree can now bring their own family names to the temple. If you are LDS, get this app.

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!

This is what FamilySearch is missing - an easy way to find names to take to the temple, and being able to say you only want to find people who are missing certain ordinances is a great feature. They really nailed the workflow.

I've wasted my life trying to find names to bring to the temple on family search. So once I tried the app, I found names reserved them, and printed them out, all within 30 minutes! Hallelujah!!!

Everyone needs this app!! All your excuses for not taking names to the temple will fly out the window. This makes it so easy!! No more guilt in not doing the work for your ancestors!!!

You guys really nailed this app! It's perfect and efficient! I'm very happy to pay a few bucks to support your development and server costs, keep up the awesome work!

I always thought my grandfather had done all our names, this app found dozens for me to do. I am not an expert and wouldn't have found these names by myself.

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.

This saves hundreds of man hours…that's if you know what you are doing. My wife was flabbergasted. It is well worth a donation!

Such a neat app, I have spent hours searching for names at the family history center. This app does all the work for you.

This has been really useful and has made searching for names so much easier, even exciting.

This app is a perfect example of technology making finding temple names easy. Phenomenal.

So easy, just know your username and password, click go!
