App malfunction

The app does not open or display my information. It just displays a message about a server problem. My family members can open the app and view their information, (ie: DNA history, matches, traits, etc).

Everything requires a membership

This app used to be free, with only some areas that required a paid membership, but now you can only view your DNA results and any and everything else requires you to pay a monthly or yearly membership fee. Once you pay for the DNA kit, which isn’t inexpensive, you shouldn’t have to pay a monthly fee to view things (like “DNA by parent”) that used to be free. I gifted a DNA kit to someone and once they scanned the QR code to begin the test process a credit card was required just to sign up. We all know Ancestory DNA sells our info as it is. We shouldn’t be required to pay extra to view anything on the app.

Great App, BUT if paying

I love this app and was a member for several years. Paid a lot of money to create an extensive Family Tree. Now here is the BUT the minute you cancel your membership you lose everything but the raw data unless you pay an additional fee a month! Quite a shame, very disappointed. I’ve lost every document I spent my time searching for and connecting to my tree all because I don’t pay every month to retain access to something I spent many many hours developing.
