User Reviews

Most reviews say ObitFinder is plagued by intrusive ads and unreliable performance. The app often freezes, won’t open, or becomes unusable after updates. Core search features are limited and hard to customize (no easy country/paper selection, date range locked to 3 days, slow newspaper loading). Reliability is questionable, with outdated or inaccurate results reported. A few users do experience quick successes when the app is functioning, but ads and poor usability broadly mar the experience.
Pros
  • Easy to use with quick results.
  • When it works, it can locate an obituary quickly (e.g., found results in seconds).
  • Some users report finding obits that are hard to locate online when the app is functioning.
Cons
  • Intrusive pop-ups/ads overwhelm the app.
  • Frequent freezing/crashes and unresponsiveness; the app often won't open or is hard to navigate.
  • Search features are severely limited: date range fixed to last 3 days, cannot easily select country/region or specific newspapers, and newspaper loading is slow.
  • Reliability issues: results can be outdated or inaccurate, with dates from past years and overbroad ranges.
  • Redirection to Legacy site/paywalls and prompts to sign up or pay, hindering usability.

If you’re looking for an older obituary they say “Sorry our records can’t find…………”. And then they refer you to Legacy site. Just a way for you to sign up and pay $$$$$

Too many pop-ups! Couldn’t even look at one obit with being bombarded! Shame because I enjoyed this app for almost a year before it became unusable. If they ever clean up this problem, I would be very happy to use it again.

Warnings of deceitful activity and pop ups took over so I give up. Useless. Doesn’t deserve a star.
