Good but could be better

Good but … 1 on

Canada

Great tool for working on your ancestry but the software itself has many faults. Eliminating duplicates is pain staking, producing a tree fan on you phone shows more that on your computer as examples Would also like to see more workshops offering tips.

Pour la version tablette, Dans « Arbre », les noms n’affichent plus les dates de naissance et décès comme auparavant. Pourtant, pour la même version de l’app., ces informations s’affichent dans la version téléphone.

Unhappy with DNA

I gave this a poor rating because DNA results are not correct compared to other places . Updates on DNA take way too long .

over priced.

Not recommended

1-Star Review I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received. I purchased my DNA sample kit in August 2024, and as of today, December 27, the status still shows “sample received.” That’s over four months of waiting with no progress or meaningful updates. I’ve sent multiple emails and received no response. When I tried calling customer service, they completely ignored my concerns and provided no resolution. The lack of professionalism, efficiency, and accountability is appalling, especially for something as important as DNA processing. I would not recommend this business to anyone.

DISAPPOINTED !!!

After years of paying, researching and attaching documents to my tree, and I reiterate years of paying, I decided I can no longer continue to pay. As a result, I can no longer access much of the documentation I attached. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!! I get emails telling me that they have information on a member in my tree but when I go to look I hit a pay wall. Be aware

My experience has been poor. 2 tries to extract dna and fail also they didn’t send a prepaid kit the second time so now I’m further out of pocket. So don’t bother with this at all

Ripping Off Customers

Removing features that used to be free like sorting matches by maternal or paternal. Trying to force you to spend $19 per month. Evil!

Even tho you’re the best?

Money grabbing, left right and centre for so many things, that customers don’t need. I’ve found what I’m able to over yhe 6 years, I’m done permanently at the end of my final subscription.
