Take a Name LDS Family History App Reviews

Painless solution to an all-too-common problem. I thought all my familys ordinances were done, but Take A Name searches TENS OF THOUSANDS of your ancestors (surprisingly quickly) and dig up ordinances that it would take you years to find. DOWNLOAD NOW.

I love this app! I found 21 ancestors needing temple work done in 10 minutes. It is efficient and easy to use for those who may not be completely tech savvy.

This app found dozens of names that I had missed.

I am from Salt Lake City and live in Alberta. I come from pioneer lines on all sides and finding any ordinances to do is near impossible and if one pops up someone else grabs it fast. The app had to search over 2500 names before it came up with even 1 ordinance to do; in the end it searched 9,435 names and found 95 ordinances which is a thrill to someone who never gets to do family names. Glad I found it before the rest of my family or I would not have had a chance. : )) Would have never expected more than 5-10 ordinances!! Then tried it for my 84 year old mother and it searched 12,434 names and came up with 61 more ordinances!!! Didnt expect that! Thought I might have gotten them already. Great app. Worth every cent!

It takes a little while to find, but the names all 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. Ive 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. Doesnt get any easier than this.

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 ?

I love this app. I am in love. The TEMPLE!!

Great app! Totally better than anything else on the market right now. I got to meet one of the developers at rootstech and theyre really great people.

Im surprised someone hasnt 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 Cant Afford It."

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

Ive 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. Im stoked to finally be able to do family names at the temple!

Im 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.

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

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.

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!!!

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

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 couldnt 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 shouldnt be an app. It should be a feature of FamilySearch. But since FamilySearch doesnt do that, Take A Name fills the gap and provides essential functionality.
