User Reviews

Users praise FamilySearch Memories for ease of use, mobile capture, and strong integration with FamilySearch Tree, making it a strong tool for preserving and organizing family memories. However, recurring issues include sign-in and password reset problems, memory-to-person linking failures, sync/upload limitations between app and website, editing/viewer navigation bugs, and performance slowdowns as the library grows. Addressing login reliability, memory association, stability across platforms, and UI responsiveness would improve the experience while preserving its core strengths.
Pros
  • Easy to use and user-friendly.
  • Mobile-friendly; capture photos and upload from anywhere.
  • Strong integration with FamilySearch Tree.
  • Great for preserving memories and organizing media.
  • Flexible for creating projects or books from memories.
Cons
  • Sign-in/login issues and password reset problems.
  • Memories disappearing or not linking to the correct person (identity/association issues).
  • Sync issues between the app and website, plus file upload limitations.
  • Editing/viewer navigation bugs; cancel/back button not functioning; cannot exit to the gallery.
  • Performance slowdowns with large memory libraries and cross-user deletion constraints.

For many, many years, I fretted over the idea that all of the fun things we had done as children would not be told to future generations. Sure, they would know our names and would know us as adults, but they would never know who we were during those form of the years. Our family used to sit around and talk about these stories as a means of entertainment when the lights were out during storms, and I wanted our family to always be able to see them as well. I’ve been trying to gather the information to turn the stories into a book for about 25 years before my father introduced me to Family Search Memories. I couldn’t believe it! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Now the entire family can look at these memories whenever they please.

So far, this is quite easy and I would recommend it to anybody to begin to write their history before they kicked the bucket.
