    Only when I paid $40 per month did I ever get value out of this app. After years of spending $480/year, I decided to eliminate the subscription. I haven’t been able to grow my tree since. I don’t have access to anything!

  • Updates Always Introduce a Glitch

    Each time the app is updated a new flaw or glitch is introduced to the app. This last update, they brought back an old glitch that results in me having to download each one of my Trees again…. Not a lot of fun when each tree has 40,000 people ☹️. And just for fun they added another bug that requires the app remain open while the Tree downloads 😡.
  • Ancestry is a scam

    I already paid for the dna test. In order for additional information that I already paid for I have to get locked in to a fee that would be impossible to remove from taking my money directly out of my account at renewal time. I’m honestly thinking about using a different company for a new test and removing the app.
  • Ancestry taking away PAID perks!

    I understand with all the work involved why they’d restrict access of records for non-members, but I feel cheated that they also did that with Ancestry DNA. I paid for those DNA results. The way to know however we are related to people is to see what ancestors we have in common, and if they take that away, I feel like they took away what I already paid for. I find that very frustrating and I disagree with it.
  • Good but needs some improvement

    Everything on the app is great but when I was adding my new family tree members from oldest on the left to youngest on the right, the app was stupid enough to mix the order of them no matter what I tried to fix it.

    Why do you need my location data??? It’s amazing that you charge so much money for the privilege of us uploading documents to your system so that you can charge other people to access them in the future. This app is owned by an org with billions of dollars at its disposal. It’s even been investigated by the SEC. Stop giving them your money.
