I used to love this app now its full of bugs. You used to be able to see the tree expand when you clicked on a person's profile, now I keep getting an error. You can no longer see what percentage of YOU came from each parent (was free now it's pay for). It doesn't feel as easy to use anymore when looking up potential ancestors. It feels too jumbled. Previous versions of this app were much better.

Every time there's an update I'm not getting the notifications that there has been updates. I have to wait until my app breaks and I can't load anything to then go find the app in the app store and manually download it. not sure why...Same issue as I had before. One minute all my trees are available, the next minute none of them are loading. New bug: Can't save alternative info as alternative anymore. Even checked, it still saves over the original.

This app barely lets you sign in. Then every single time you click on a potential relative it tosses up an error that it isn't available and you need to add it manually. Useless. **EDIT: I am not on an older version, as there is no update available. This app is awful. I am not going to email you when you tried to gaslight me into thinking it was my fault that your app is faulty. Work out the bugs and release the update.

Used to be useful. They ruined it when they made it so you cannot navigate to the person's information and gallery by clicking on the person. Instead, clicking on the person in the tree takes you to a screen that only offers you the option to research further. You know, sometimes, I just want to see the people and read the information I already have. It is awful now. Useless, and I am afraid of their next great idea.

Update--reached out to support for the issue I've described here, and though they haven't been able to replicate the issue, they've been very responsive so kudos for that!! Seems to be buggy now that I've updated the app. Doesn't load the tree, makes it seem like there are 0 people in my tree (I have just over 5,000 in my main tree alone). Once I try accessing the tree, the refresh icon (whatever it's called) just keeps circling and circling and won't let me do anything else in the app.

I started paying for the app after the initial free period. As soon as I started paying, things went downhill. Family lines started getting crossed with each other and I'm no longer able to see potential relatives. If I click on someone's potential mother or father, it says I have to add it manually but never gives me a name to add. I no longer use the app because of these issues. I go on just to check if the issues are still there. As of September 6th, 2025, the issues are there. Fix this.
