Ratings and reviews

I used this app on my phones for several years and thought it was very good. It's easy to link new relatives, but 2 months ago, I upgraded to a new phone running Android 14 and I'm unable to use this app on it, which is very disappointing. I see the last update for this app was in 2018, it looks like the developers have abandoned it and it won't be upgraded to work on Android 14. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for this.

I have installed the full paid version of FamilyGTG 2 years ago and have been using it until 2 weeks ago. But when I changed my device, the apps would not automatically reinstall it in my new device like other apps. However, I have just installed the beta version for free. Otherwise, the apps is excellent, very convenient for collecting data and sharing it online. Rooms for improvement might be to enable the apps to be used on laptops to facilitate printing in many layout options.

I love the app, even recently paid for the full version. I have questions but the support email address is not working, all my emails are bouncing back. For the free version, the app could warn users when they're about to reach the limits and not after, when it is too late to save their updates. Why is it both free and paid versions have the same name. After paying for the full version, why do I still have access to the free version? Very confusing. Is it possible to auto save of the database?
