Save our Graves app can’t be downloaded from Google play for Samsung A71. It says it’s too new! I’d like to photograph some Graves in uk
Thanks Rosie
Answer from Geneanet: We are aware of this issue and are working to upgrade our app for the latest version of Android. Unfortunately, the patch will likely not be available before our Save our Graves weekend. It is possible to upload photos from your phone to your computer, and from there to Geneanet.

I search the google play store several times and cannot find the app GeneaGraves. Very disappointing as I really want to participate in this program and with the phone it seems easier then with the camera.Could you check and see if the google store still has the App. Thank you
