Ancestry: Family History & DNA users say on Google Play
I love this app. I wish though that you would include a print function on the relationship to me page. It can be done in the browser version but that doesn't include the pictures of the people in the list. It makes it more interesting. please add that
just wish the monthly subscription wasn't so much
The app is great, but it glitches a lot. For example, photos sometimes like they're uploading but never show in the person's gallery. I can clear a person's hints, and the green leaf still shows even though there's nothing new. PDFs cannot be easily viewed in the app. Don't ask me how many times I've scrolled 200 pages just for the app to glitch and kick me out of the file. The app also doesn't have a way to upload source info - website only.
1) Record searches for the caribbean lead to alternate sites that need more money! 2) Searching with a specific date returns results that are over 100 years out of range, even when "Exact" option is used. come on ancestry, tighten things up.
Oops!! your latest update keeps telling me suggestions are not working. ooops!! didnt fix. update caused problems. New Problem: in the Gallery's when I click on my ancestors photos, unrecognized photos and documents pop up and NOT the photo I clicked on. all the photos and documents from all my other tree people appear. What have you done!!
