Ancestry: Family History & DNA App Reviews

Perfect...

Great tool.

Great app, but please put the subscribe sign away

The main disadvantage is that there is no possibility to view all tree at once, which is highly desirable. In all the rest, app is pretty fine to me.

Use this app constantly. Some ways easier than on my computer! Can work your ancestry on the go, from anywhere. Have found so much and helped others too!

I love Ancestry. And the DNA may be leading me to an aunt I did not know I had, a big surprise to my father!! I have about 5000 people on my trees so far, and have gathered so many facts on them. Family history is my favorite hobby and one of the most worthwhile things a person can do with their time.

I would like to request that three features be added: 1. In Search, Id love to be able to search by residence location, birth location, and burial location. 2. Id love to be able to see an interactive map upon which one could color-code the origins of their families, track color-coded immigration, and track color-coded residence locations. If each surname could be color-coded by degree of most recent generation, or by longest documented line, that would be very interesting to see the data represented differently than simply the tree itself. 3. Id love to be able to see where different branches of my tree interact with different branches. For example, my matriarchal grandmother was a Sawyer, as was my 10th great grandmother on my patriarchal grandfathers line, many generations back. Id like to be able to see those interactions in a more concrete way.

User friendly! I love the way it will Sync everything I work on to all my devices. I use my Cell Phone, my iPad and my Laptop. Theres never any problem with all my information syncing between all three. Thats a giant plus in my book. I also enjoy all the green leaf hints and its so easy to make a comparison to check everything.

I am pretty pleased with your app-a few minor difficulties that I will deal with, but all in all I am quite pleased with it.

I have been using versions of this app for years. I love the flexibility and the additions to the functionality over the years...

I am continuing to enjoy the ability of interacting with my Family Tree via the Web, MacBook, iPhone & iPad!

Upgrades have improved functionality.

New ancestry user. Great app to start an ancestral search. Cannot believe what I have been able to find! Thank you

Updates pretty seamlessly with Ancestry on computer. Great to be able to work on family trees anywhere and update when unexpected information presents itself.

I have really enjoyed this app. It is easy to use and I have found a lot of useful information. I am so excited to be building my family tree. I love the record hints to help me get additional information about my ancestors.

The app is obviously not as robust as the website, but adding photos from your phone and doing searches is quick and accurate. Its easier to zoom into images on my phone. I use the app 98% verse the website. Only thing lacking is a merge function.

Im familiar with the desktop and new to the mobile app. I recently received my results from AncestryDNA which has renewed my excitement in genealogy. The info provided is very detailed and highly interesting. While on the go, I can do more research and contact possible family matches. To learn more about my ancestors and gather more connections so exciting. This app will be a great tool while traveling or away from my desktop.

Great app good syncing of realities

Great app.

Generally an easy to use and comprehensive family tree application. I think it is hands down the best genealogy app I have found. The only two major drawback I have found is one, the inability to merge duplicate individuals and two the fact that duplicate individuals can be added without a warning of some sort.
