love finding out new family members that I had never heard of, love this app.
Good but it has a few bugs. The most annoying one currently is that I cannot upload media to a fact. Once I select the file it just takes some back to the fact page without adding it. It's still much better than Find My Past's excuse for an app though.
Most information is correct, but when it is wrong, it is difficult to correct.
it used to be a great app, but the last few days since Christmas eve, I have not been able to view my family tree at all. it just doesn't load anything when I go to view it. This seems to be an app only issue.
When they send a push notification for a new hint, clicking it opens the app and doesn't show the hint. if the app is already open, it restarts the app, losing your place while still not actually working. its been like this for years. they have no plans to fix this. Shut off push notifications if you install.
