Ratings and reviews

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!

This app has gone downhill bad in recent months! It was at first adding multiple instances of marriages no matter what hint I added to my person, it would just create a new marriage fact due each census or birth record. Now it won't load the entire image when viewing a census. I zoom in to read the writing & a big black section shows up. I zoom out & the image reappears but I can't read the writing. Stop breaking the app!!! I pay for this service, I want it to work properly!

The app is not as easy to navigate as I thought it would be. Also confusing on adding removing editing relatives. When I go to view documents , and try t to enlarge it. There's lots of blocked out sections, until I shrink it back down and then comes together. and then when I open it back up again it does the same thing so it makes it hard to read documents it doesn't seem to be real user-friendly
