Community Voice & Feedback
Ease of use, accurate hints. 5 enthusiastic stars!
I find the app a bit clunky to use and I don’t like that I have to sign in every time I use it on my own device.
Nevertheless, it is nice to carry my family history research in my pocket.

I’ve been doing family genealogy for over 20 years. And this is absolutely the worst app for genealogy. Start with one of the following two apps: Family Tree and/or Ancestry.
…laggy, and worse functionality. Not sure why this app even exists.
I have exactly the same complaint as MusicLoverSG from a year ago. Difference is in my tree you have placed a "Suggested Mother" for a Maternal GG Grandmother despite the fact that my actual GG Grandmother is listed as a person in my tree already. I cannot access this Suggested Mother, but somehow she has 5 hints, cannot delete her, nor can I add my actual GG Grandmother as a spouse to my GG Grandfather who is listed as my Great Grans father. My GG Grans when looking through list is connected as my Great Grans mother. It is absolutely ridiculous. It should not be this hard to add or the correct relationships in app and there is NO reason your system adds a person into a tree that has not been verified by tree owner!
Cannot see anything in the app anymore. Everything is oversized and can’t be resized. Boxes on top of boxes. iPhone 14 hopelessly broken on my phone.
I was able to use FindmyPast app without internet connection problems. I was capable of logging in my Find my Past account. But the app version is challenging to navigate and does not work like the online version. I cannot delete a family tree I didn’t want to make it seems you can only do that on the online version. You cannot view your actual tree only the alphabetical order of the people in it. So I recommend the online version as this is nowhere near the same.
Don’t waste your time downloading. It doesn’t work. Continuously keep saying no internet connection when I clearly do.
It says no internet connection but I do have connection. Won’t let me open it! Seems as if others have this problem too. Needs fixing!
I just downloaded this app. While it was loading I decided to read some of the reviews.
The first one I read said they couldn’t log in and it kept say no internet connection.
I go to the app after downloading and sign in and guess what??
It says no internet connection. I have internet in my home and it works quite well.
It’s not my internet connection it’s your app that’s the problem.
From the date of the last complaint until now you’ve had ample enough time to fix the issue.
I will now see myself out and delete the app.

Just added the app, unuseable. From Family Search to fmp, I found 5 family members but fmp won't let me see them. Limited time before charges accrue. I'll save myself some time and delete this waste. Will also let Family Search know what a sad site they are recommending.
