Obituary
With a simple interface there is no better way to browse, read, and share the beautiful stories of the ones that came before us.
Browsing: By condensing the stories to the names of the deceased and a few headlines, you can find stories that are important to you much quicker than you can in paper or online. Each snippet of an obituary is linked to the larger story so that you can continue reading at the click of a button
Sharing: Many of us read the obituaries so that we are aware of old friends or distant family members that have passed. With a touch of a button you can share the story through email, Facebook, or Twitter so that all your friends and family can stay informed.
Coverage: We currently are covering obituaries from over a hundred of the largest newspapers in America and Canada. Our current coverage is listed below, and we will update as we add more cities each week. So if you don’t see your location covered keep checking back or shoot us an email and we will be sure to add it.
We also are proud to cover all of those brave American soldiers who have been killed defending their country. It is these individuals who pay the price of maintaing freedom, and we feel it is the duty of every American to know the names and faces of these soldiers.

Loved this app but as of October 1st 2015 it seems to have stopped working. Won't refresh. Don't know what the problem is
Only displays partial statement of deceased. However, on the celebrities list it shows who passed on of famous people that I did not even know that had died such as Wes Craven. So it is informative in that sense.
I couldn't find to globally search a name. Useless if you ask me.
Just shows some obits from city newspapers that aren't up to date and has no way to search or sort them. Good idea but pretty much useless as it is now.
Every time i try to open the full obituary it keeps saying error. Great idea but only great if it works.
Good app, but it doesn't update the Today in History section. Every time I try the update button an error occurs and the app forcecloses. Needs to be fixed.
Like it but Toronto Star does not appear... More Canadian content would be appreciated.
Update! Don't create a app of this statue if u not going keep it update it's not a game. A application like this is sentimental and touchy
At least add the major cities. Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, etc.
Kept getting connection errors. When I got on I couldn't search by name. Then it crashed. Un-Installed!
Last posting was from last year, and you can only select certain newspapers to get information from. Forget it if you are from Small Town USA and/or live past 2015!
Works but having problem downloading information.
How about having an article. Not having the ... after. Bad app
This app sux.
Although the entries are sparse, I like this app.
Awesome just what I was looking for keep it up
You need to add Beckley or Charleston Herald.
Can't search or view other than the preselected ones.
My state must not exist to the owner of this app
Crap. Wast of time
Can't open them when I click on one. Can't sort. Can't search.
This app dnt have nothing Frm several places I asked it
Deadly
Where the hell is Wisconsin or do they live for ever???????
Love it
It would get a lot more stars if this was no more than an rss viewer connecting different news sources. Lazy developer. Search, show the whole article, bring up in browser, share, save, make place/bookmark, landscape mode, tablet support, font size for sight disabled, copy, search should/could have many options/capabilities, alerts... These are just common sense ideaa, and without these no one should give it more than one star IMHO I'm afraid. So much potential, utterly disappointed for me and many others for such an importent app subject matter .
