MyHeritage: Family Tree & DNA

Quickly tried several searches common information, freely available online. I was offered same info for 127$ add-on subscription… after already paying 149$ I hate to say NO —- but really 💩💩~~no smiles!

Wonderful app and easy to use! I wish I could have a slower speaking voice all my ancestors are Southerners. It would give them a more natural voice.

I signed up for the free trial , to see if it was worth paying so much for this app, and my account was charged the full yearly amount within minutes and they would not refund my money thru PayPal .

This app is a scam I canceled before the free trial was up and I was still charged. Little to no options to find out more about your family it’s sad

Let me get this straight. You want to charge me to use the basic functionality of the app then charge me more to use the most desirable feature within it- the AI photo alteration? I did the two week free trial, refusing to pay. Then I did pay the $5 to use the “AI Time Machine,” thinking I was getting photos of myself from different eras. Instead, I got cartoon versions of me because it defaulted to the avatar option when I purchased. Ok, no problem. I’ll just go back in the app and select the other set. Nope, that’s an additional $12. Scam!

I Love finding new info on my family!

Their algorithm brought me to tears when I learned so much about my relatives o never got to meet

Just like most apps, they don’t give an option to decline the automatic subscription renewal easily. Now I was charged $170 before I realized it and had to Google how to stop the future payments. Thanks for stealing my money!

Be careful if you are purchasing this expensive app. It comes with alot of errors “something went wrong” every single time you try to edit any pictures. I regret purchasing

I’ve been working on an pretty extensive genealogy plus I’ve gotten my dna done by ancestry and 23andme. I know these are just ethnicities and every company has its own algorithm but I have a pretty decent idea of my ethnic background. I know that I’ve got a decent chunk of English, Irish with some Welsh, Scandinavian, Scottish, with some German. My Heritage says I’m almost 70% Scandinavian 25% Welsh,Irish, Scottish and about 6% Italian No English!!!!!! . I’ve heard MyHeritage ethnicity was off but this is really off. I thought it would give me a ridiculously higher amount of English or something but they gave me none. I also heard My Heritage was great for people who are in Europe and are Jewish I assumed because I’m of European ancestry my Great grandmother was born in England it would be helpful… NOPE. Their Ethnicity is a joke and the Matches are joke too. Because the ethnicity is a joke and their matches are weak the tools are kinda useless.The genealogy YouTubers who recommend my heritage must be getting some kick back or something. Plus from what I understand My Heritage are not that big with updating their results. The app itself is ok. While you should understand dna result are just estimates no matter what company you used I would highly be suspect of your results from this company. Do your tree research your results should make sense with your tree NOT what necessarily on what your grandma says. Edit Oct 8: A few days ago I wasn’t allowed to see my DNA results cause I got this “we are updating your DNA results” to check back tomorrow I thought great maybe they’ll fix my DNA results but when I saw them nothing changed. I got the same banner yesterday and it’s still there today. From an internet search this is a big issue a lot of people are having for the last month or so. What heck is going on? Edit: July 17 2024 My heritage at rootstech Said they were going to update their DNA estimates ( Mr Horowitz) stated their dna ethnicities weren’t that good and that in late June they were going to update them. Needles to say that has not happened for most people. And those few who did get the update a lot of them where really wrong, like African Americans getting 98% African and 2% Portuguese. A lot of people including myself are angry all we have since around June 28 is a banner saying Coming soon New improved ethnicities coming soon. 3 weeks IS NOT new! We have been inc waiting for months for nothing!!!
