Too Nice!

I’m hooked to this app. Great ancestry app!❤️

It’s not a free trial

Esbejade on

South Africa

As soon as I opted for the 2 week free trial it immediately took money off my account.

Great App

Han008 on

South Africa

Love it so much, but wish that you could more clearly indicate adopted people as well as add their bio family

A good app, but it has it flaws

Willemlab on

South Africa

I've enjoyed this app since it became available. Their “hints” I find valuable. Really a lovely app. However, I much more preferred it when Family Tree was software you loaded onto your PC or laptop. What a pity they stopped it.

Unable to unsubscribe

Merfox Turtle on

South Africa

I have been unable to unsubscribe after reaching the limit of records relevant to my family tree. I was redirected to ‘contact support ‘ Contacting support through the app has led to no response. Second month payment due soon and I can’t find a way out. Loved the app until this experience but I really hate being stonewalled and unable to cancel an expensive subscription

The ancestry application helped me and my relatives to be able to identify how we relate. We are a big family, and we always assumed how we related, and not knowing precisely how.

I often find that additions made on Ancestry via the browser often do not reflect on this app, unless I delete the app and then reinstall it?

Good App does everything it needs to do

Need to be able to cancel /backtrack

Makhulu on

South Africa

I mistakenly touched on a linked tree and it started to download into my phone app. As it had 15,000 people as as I did not want to see it then anyway I would have liked to be able to cancel. Instead of this I had to completely delete the app and start again .
