Way too much money

Already paid for DNA and other things , I don’t think you should be locking us into more money to find more about ourselves it’s naughty really! Maybe you should do it on a £1 basis per request or for one day or something like that if you are still making money but not taking loads of money for hardly any reward for your customers

Deleting incorrect Spouse

Almost 2 months into my subscription I deleted an incorrect spouse to a family ancestor and as a result I lost family hints and saved siblings…I also lost the desire to view Ancestry and continue tree building which until then had been an enjoyable pastime.All ver frustrating!!

Not as useful as the website

I wouldn’t bother using the app. On my iPad it is slow and clunky when compared with the website. Searching the tree is difficult.

App will not open after latest bug fix

Unfortunately the latest update for Ancestry on iPad will not load. I have paid my regular access all UK subscription but I have been downgraded to ‘guest’

Deliberately runs you round in circles to avoid account deletion.
