Ratings and reviews

I love FamilySearch! It has enabled me to do much temple work. Still, I've been experiencing a lot of technical issues, like things not loading or not saving, or getting spammed notifications. The notifications say "Unable to edit memory. An unknown error occurred. Memory could not be edited." I get around seven of these throughout the day, even when I haven't opened the app! They've been coming for a few months, ever since the app crashed when I was trying to edit a memory. Please fix! <3

Search is definitely improved. Can now go back to the search results without having to start over each time. There are nice pop-out arrows on the computer, but not on the app, that allows one to see siblings in the tree view without having to click on the parent and look at the Person, then view tree again. I really like the Groups function...but choosing a starting person shouldn't translate to "me"... Thx

App is buggy and not as user friendly as website. For example, I'll upload a photo and label the picture. After coming back from viewing another family member, the photo is gone. When I go to upload the photo again, it returns an error message saying the photo was already uploaded - but not visible in app or website. Another example is recently all children of family members are missing. Only after refreshing every family member do the children reappear. And how about passkey login?! SMH
