## Review summary

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 Reliability is questionable, with outdated or inaccurate results reported.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- Reliability issues: results can be outdated or inaccurate, with dates from past years and overbroad ranges.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.
