I loved the app, but with this new update, it's really difficult to follow hints and add them semi-quickly when deeper research isn't necessary. Not intuitive at all.

so far it's like Pokemon but for ancestors! I wish there was more records on my dad's military service.

Amazing details

I have recently joined after a gift of a dna kit at Christmas. It has been fascinating and I also took up the offer to use world wide at a discounted rate. It is well worth it as I have discovered some interesting relatives abroad . Highly recommended as a tool to discover family history .

Lots to pay for

Additionally you have to pay for additional access and information. Very expensive

Is this accurate

Is this accurate as a lot has changed. My wife has done a test several years ago and her updated results are completely different.
