Why do you have to change something that was good?
the gallery has changed, only a small number of uploaded pictures are displayed for people, which is annoying... Why do you have to change something that was good???? I have a lot of photos, so far I really liked that I just went to a person and all the pictures were there...😡😡😡
Nagyon jó
Egy év kihagyás után újra elővéve, immár iPad helyett iPhone-on használva, nagyon jól kezelhető, remek app - és még weben is (mondjuk a nyomtatás még nem jött össze).
One of my favourit app
Perfect design and user experience. However hints are not efficient in my country, have not got any match.
Remek családfa készítő!
Könnyű kezelés, átlátható. Ha szerencsénk van még ajánlásokat is kapunk.
What once was included is now subscription only
What used to be included with a dna analysis is now moved to a subscription even though what I bought included all of those features. They’re literally taking back things I already paid for. Terrible business model.
A whole new area of exploration!!
I have been subscribing to Ancestry for many years. It is such a fun hobby. I have found so many interesting lineage facts for myself and others, and I love it. It adds a great dimension to my own sense of who I am and it’s really fun to tell my, close family members how fancy they are!! The best part of this app. Is it connection to other research apps. I found some other good apps online, but I always go back to Ancestry because it’s stable, I trust it, and I can keep all my notes right there in the app. Thank you for a great job!!!
Doesn’t work well on iPad app
Costs are exorbitant compared to similar apps, but seems to give more information. It doesn’t always work well on iPad app!
Crashes when adding new relatives to my tree
Every time I add a new person to my family tree the app gives me a “Network Error” message and I have to close the app. Upon reopening the app it puts me back where I was prior with the relative I was trying to add, now in my tree. I move on to adding the next relative and I have to go through that whole process over, every time, without fail.
Refuse to refund $99.95 for forgetting to cancel free trial.
If I could give 0 i surely would.
I would never recomend ancestry to anyone. I am so broke and barely making enough to cover my bills and put food on the table for my children. Ancestry took $99.95 from my Paypal for a subscription on their app and refuse to refund. The second rep that I spoke with told me to contact apple for a refund because I have an iphone. The charge is not in my transaction history. They make it super difficult to cancel free trials. Everything is very misleading. I could cry, i’ve been hung up on this for 24 hours.
The Price is Too Much
The price is ridiculous. Whether it’s the $25 a month (which gets you nothing) or the $40 a month (do not upgrade to this if you have already paid $25 for the month as you will end up paying $65 for one month). The $40 a month promises access to things that it doesn’t provide. It’s not accurate and it even says it’s not. It’s just what others have put into the system and they just basically compile it together, regurgitating back to you for a fee. I also found it impossible to edit hints that I had accepted by accident, thinking they were correct when they were not. It’s sad because I actually love using this app for my family tree, and I still will, but I will NEVER pay them again.
