Ratings and reviews

Seems I might have had a beta version installed. I hooked up to computer after uninstalling again and searched both phone and memory card, found some more files tagged with billiongraves. Deleted everything and reinstalled, seems to work now. I did successfully bring it up, log in, and took a picture that was requested. No problem now so far. Normal uninstall will not fix if anyone else is having problems.

I love this app. However, when I've been trying to add photos lately it won't let me, it kicks me out. This has been going on for about 3 days. Also, when you do a cemetery search you have to type the name correctly, it doesn't help if you only go by some of the name. This makes it hard to find all cemeteries with certain last names attached.

The Transcribe feature needs some redesign. For one, the scroll wheels used to enter dates are cumbersome to use. A simple numeric keypad would be better. It would also be useful to be able to move the keypad/scroll wheels around so that it does not cover the photo. Also, it would be useful to resize data entry area height to allow more viewing area of photos.
