Ratings and Reviews
Amazed
I have been using various tools to build my family tree. I stared using this recently and found it to be fantastic. The amount of records and information found so far is great. Most amazingly its free of charge. I have been paying annually to have access to information and here I was able yo find it seeming less and free. The other app do have more functionalities such as smart searches and discoveries to link with records and other trees for insights into the past. Also the DNA options are available which allows for better in-depth searches. I would love the option to see some of these options come up here. I don’t mind paying for additional features as long as the access to the extensive database continues to be available. One feature yet to see in any of the platforms, is the possibility to request for images to be taken of certain specific records from within the platforms. At present I have to plan to visit certain locations to take such images my self for the records without images or not in the database. Great job guys. Thanks for this and keep it up. Try to minimise its brand commercialisation. The fact that access to a large record database is free is attractive enough with word of mouth being passed around and that could make it the one of the best platforms.
It has become a revelation
I must confess that at first it didn’t convinced me and for quiet sometime i would occasionally pop in. However I was facing a great deal of difficulties to follow up my maternal side of the family and I kept coming back. One day I went through some brief directions on how too and its huge potential started to show up, time after timel. The most spectacular side of it is that shows you the evidence, documents to prove the links to your ancestry which keep on opening new doors and ramifications in your extended origins…
I truly recommend this app to any person that is into genealogy….
Latest Update
The latest update has made this unusable on IOS, almost impossible to organise records now. 8 updates in one month is ridiculous; especially when the result is barely usable, how much do you pay your developers? This is awful. The app constantly provides pop ups telling me to update the app but it is already updated to the most recent version possible, I can’t make any research as this pop-up consistently pops up. The information addition screen has changed back to the awful clunky format not seen for years. It’s a massive shame because apart from a few bugs the design was basically perfect, and now it is ruined. After nearly 70,000 contributions, nearly 5,000 photos, and 12,000 new people added I will now sadly look for an alternative. Perhaps a good thing, as any proper early English research here is quickly destroyed by American fantasists, John Smith the English farm labourer quickly becomes Lord John Smith King of Londonshire, a majority of users do not care for the truth and are just looking to plug holes in their diluted mongrel heritage. Once loved but now hated, a tragedy for genealogists.
