## Ancestry Reviews in Japan

### *---- "Seems to work fine except can’t build/link/merge family trees"
Super confusing how to link self other people’s family tree, e.g. my mother made one but they don’t automatically show up nor my siblings or grandparents even though they have built those up.
-- trix_wins_games, 2023-05-12

### ***** "Great app"
It is easy to use
And it help us find our long lost family connection
-- himlfec, 2019-12-19

### ***** "So much more inclusive and easier to use now"
I have ancestry in Asia as well as Europe, and as opposed to the early days of development before apps were a thing, I can type in bilingual labels for my ancestors, which is crucial in recording and passing on a huge part of my genealogy research. I can show my Japanese relatives, and as I travel anywhere in the world, I have it all at my fingertips whenever I need to show someone some information for any part of my tree.
-- Meliccha, 2019-04-12

### ***** "Beautiful"
This app is beautifully designed, easy to use, responsive, and all around amazing! You guys definitely set a high standard with this one!!
-- AuntieMame1, 2018-06-21

### ***** "Highly recommended!"
Excellent family history app. Highly recommended.
-- Pbatten, 2017-03-04

### *---- "本当に良かったのに…"
アップデートしてから、Treeでの画像をchangeする際アプリが毎回落ちてしまいます。本当に改善してもらいたいです。よろしくお願いします！それが直れば☆5です。
-- linlinryu, 2016-09-11

### ****- "使えます"
家系図が見易く、延々と書けるので遠方の親戚の確認がしやすいです。写真も入れれるので、Good!!
-- えへ子, 2015-10-05

### **--- "App bug?"
The app keeps crashing since the update. I've tried restarting my phone, closing app, everything. I can't open it any more...
-- Jace2010, 2015-03-07

### ***** "Convenience"
Very convenient I can do this research from both smartphone, tablet and PC.
-- Jonokun, 2014-02-02

### ***** "Great App Despite what T. Y. T. Says"
This is absolutely the best genealogy app out there. 
So simple to use. Despite what T. Y. T. says in his review. You do need to have an online account (that is free by the way). But this just ensures your data is saved and accessible anywhere you go. Most apps out there have some form of online account that you need to sign up with. Not sure what he spent $30 on? Unless it was to buy the PC software which is worth the price. 
I do wish there was a way that you could merge/remove duplicate records like you can on the PC app. 
I use this app daily and absolutely love it. In fact something's I like better than the PC app. 
It would be nice to be able to merge/compare entries from within the app itself. 
Keep the updates coming. Keeps getting better and better.
-- Rockin' Ralph, 2013-02-12

### *---- "Absolutely poor"
This is a waste of time.  Do not buy anything in app, it is a scam.  You have to add everyone manually... I dont know anyone's name above my grandparents, this wont help you. $30 gone, do not be fooled.  The app will keep hinting that you are connected but that persons tree is private.  It keeps accessing their website to safari making things too small to see.... Plus your relatives name will only show up on census if you are lucky!  Then use initials for you family and birthdates and you get the same documents... Check it out but do not spend any money
-- T.Y.T., 2012-10-09

### ****- "On the road"
I use the PC software and online website interface for updating my family tree and this app offers that extra touchscreen convenience. For all versions I would like to see a drag and drop upgrade feature as there's a fair bit of cumbersome manual work involved that should have become obsolete. Overall a great app.
