Ratings and Reviews
Disappointed
I don’t mind that FTM Connect is read only—this permits family sharing without anyone editing my database. I like the info tab that includes earliest and most recent births, average lifespan, etc. However, navigation is clunky and the data displayed are limited. To see any useful information (for example: relationships, facts, locations, sources) I have to go to my MacBook and use FTM 2019, which renders FTM Connect mostly useless. I am especially disappointed that I have found no way to see relationships in FTM Connect, and this is one of the most frequent things I search. Unless Mackiev updates FTM Connect to access and display much more information, I definitely won’t pay for a subscription once the free membership expires. After all, “Connect” suggest that one is able to connect to the entire FTM database.
Basic
App is pretty basic and very similar to Ancestry one if you use that. FTM connect however, will cost you when trial expires.
On the other hand, since connect, Ancestry sync stays Orange with big warning not to sync again if it fails (it does) so looks like your forced to use connect now.
Pretty good for view only purposes
I like being able to access my tree on my iPad or phone to show off my tree. The bad reviews seem to only complain because you can’t edit. I like that it also keeps my main tree in a cloud to backup. The only thing I would change is that I agree it needs a relationship calculator and I would like to see being able to add guest login. I want family to have access without having to give out my personal password.
I get having to pay for media upload because it can take a lot of space but perhaps the basic without media should be free and not a trial.
