App

Dempsey myles on

New Zealand

Good app but there could be some features like what the desktop has and then would be even better

App is worse than ever!

you've gotta be kiddin' on

New Zealand

Years ago it was great, now this version of the app has a frequent error message pop up, that causes issues! I have loaded a lot of information, that I now find has dropped off! So frustrating!!

Buggy and costly

QuigonNZ on

New Zealand

Latest mobile version as of March 2024 full of annoying bugs. Too many to list. Paywalls everywhere even for those who’ve paid for DNA tests long ago. Through Lines and other DNA search tools now behind a paywall.

Ui is great but each update more restrictive

Cordyceps on

New Zealand

The app is most powerful for subscribers but access is tighter after each update for free members the had a DNA test done. It still allows tree navigation but looking at matches is almost useless. Updates focus on allowing you to upload richer information that they then can sell to other members.

Can be expensive

I’m enjoying the interesting content, but put off by the constant reminders for more investment.

Great to record so many connections for future generations.

This is clunky and hard to navigate

Scam

I had a horrible experience with ancestry. I signed up for 14 days free trial but I was charged $77 and the team is not responding to my emails. Not recommended at all!

Life Changing

Bexxoo on

New Zealand

Thank you Ancestry for the opportunity to see what my DNA and Traits markers are. It has been a revelation for me and my siblings, and relatives. I am so happy I had my test done. I highly recommend to friends and family to get your DNA checked to give you a better understanding of yourself and your Whakapapa. Nga Mihi 💯
