Very frustrating to use. UI is not intuitive and you are super limited unless you pay for the highest subscription. I joined so I can view a tree that my mom has done a significant amount of work on. I was hoping I could 'link' myself to that tree but I can't even view it, even after upgrading to the first tier of the paid subscription. Upgraded my subscription package to view traits, and now I can't even see the previous free traits! The page won't load anything.

Features that were included when I purchased the test are quickly being removed and hidden behind a paywall. Lots of bugs and random crashes now, too. I'm also constantly being forced to log in when launching the app. I've gone from using the app for an hour, or so, nearly every day, to perhaps twenty minutes a week. Very disappointing.

Every time they fix something, something else breaks, like the gallery to add photos stops working randomly. Can't view all trees on the overview on the app, which would be fine if there was a search button. Only way to get into a tree on the app that you haven't opened in 30 or more recent trees, is to make it a recently edited tree by logging into the desktop site, opening the tree and making an edit. This is bothersome when you just want to view a tree that isn't currently on the list of 20!
