Pointless. The app generates hints for me, I go in to see what they are. When I untick boxes to keep my details and not change tou your details on people's profiles and then hit submit, I'm given the "somethings gone wrong, please try later" message everytime but if I don't untick and accept the hint it works no problem. Why? It's like I have to accept everything the app suggests even if it doesn't match the profile.

I have always used FMP and I live there dedication to family research. I signed up after a long break and the website seems all over. I can find things I need. I am looking for a mug shot of my ancestors in Pentonville in Middlesex it is PCOM 2 it took for ever to find. there should be a separate tab at the top for images it would be much easier to find. EVERYBODY is interested in prison mug shots. I typed in the search bar and found crime and punishment but it just didn't work.

This App use to be very good, now it's terrible. When you try and look at your family tree, it's so spread out that you have to scroll and scroll to try and look at your ancestors. Awkful upgrade. I wish I could go back to pre-upgrade.
