However, if I look up the same ID on the website, it shows me that the ID is found but that the person is "deleted." I go to the surviving person, and I see that my reservations are still there. The app needs to have this sort of ability rather than saying the person is not found.

When my mom goes to the temple, she looks on her phone to see the status of ordinances. She is not able to do this if the person has been merged and the surviving ID is different than the one on the card. I suggest doing the same as the website, showing the deleted person and who is the surviving person. (Or... maybe just redirect to the surviving person and have some notification on the top of the screen saying that the ID was redirected to the surviving person and then have a link going back to the deleted person would be best, this notification would then only appear if you came to that person from the redirect).
