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 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!

Online site is better than the app version.

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.

At first I thought this would be a nice tool to help me keep track of who I competed in my other family tree, but it’s so hard to use! I accidentally create multiple profiles of the same people while I’m trying to add a parent, and I still haven’t successfully added a person’s parent. Plus I can’t delete the extra profiles. This isn’t worth my time unless all of that gets fixed.

Developer Response
Thank you for taking the time to review our app. We are committed to making it a useful companion tool to researching your family tree and release regular updates. We are working on the ability to delete nodes from a family tree just now, and that update is coming soon. We hope you'll consider returning to the app once those changes are made, and please continue to share your feedback with us.
