### 2/5 — 要付费

*2026-07-20*

看了下付费功能性价比极低

### 2/5 — Плохо

*2025-10-14*

Вы напишите сразу что только 6 родственников бесплатно, а потом только за деньги. Еще и не единоразовый платеж а ежемесячный.

### 1/5 — Avis

*2025-07-29*

Nul, impossible de rentrer les lieux de naissances et l’arbre généalogique s’efface sans explications. Plus jamais !!

### 1/5 — No free

*2025-07-14*

This app not free

### 1/5 — Два года работы насмарку

*2025-07-02*

Больше года собирала информацию, вносила в это приложение. Куча затраченного времени. И в один день после обновления пропало все! Обнулилось!
Разочарование и гнев!

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2025-06-14*

Paguei e não consigo entrar no app, fica pedindo para pagar novamente

### 1/5 — Terrible app , I lost everything

*2025-06-12, version 3.3.0*

I spent months paying for premium and building up my family tree only for it to glitch and I lost everything and when I tried to get it back nothing work , it’s my fault for trusting and app and not backing it up , don’t waste your time on this

### 1/5 — Надо платить

*2025-06-02*

Без платной подписки можно добавить только 5 членов семьи

### 2/5 — Traurig

*2025-03-30*

Fünf Famielienmitglieder dann braucht man Premium

### 1/5 — Não Usa Mais

*2025-01-18*

Minha Árvore Travou De Vez

### 1/5 — Se você não pagar, não adianta usar o app.

*2024-11-04*

Só funciona pagando!!!!

**Developer response:** Olá! Agradecemos por compartilhar sua opinião. Entendemos que pode ser frustrante encontrar recursos pagos em um aplicativo. Oferecemos funcionalidades básicas gratuitas para você começar a explorar sua árvore genealógica, e as opções pagas ajudam a manter o desenvolvimento e melhorias contínuas do app. Estamos sempre trabalhando para oferecer a melhor experiência possível e esperamos que você encontre valor em nossos serviços.

### 1/5 — …

*2024-08-17*

C’est dommage qu’on ne puisse pas mettre plusieurs personnes sur la version gratuite 
On peut mettre que 6 personnes sa sert a rien de mettre 6 personnes…

**Developer response:** Bonjour, merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis. Nous comprenons que la limitation de 6 personnes dans la version gratuite puisse être frustrante.

Nous vous encourageons à explorer les fonctionnalités de la version complète, qui vous permet d'ajouter un nombre illimité de personnes et d'accéder à d'autres fonctionnalités avancées. Nous apprécions votre compréhension et espérons que vous continuerez à utiliser notre application pour construire votre arbre généalogique.

### 2/5 — 👎

*2024-06-15*

Man kann nur drei Fotos hinzufügen dann muss man premium kaufen

### 3/5 — Great if you have premium

*2024-04-20*

Ok so this app is AMAZING, i was so happy when i found it! But after adding like 6 people you have to get premium which i am not getting so yeah, have to delete this now as theres nothing more i can do with it unless i get premium.

### 3/5 — Good, but this:

*2024-04-19*

Why do you have to pay for more ancestors and people? And why do we have a max amount of pictures of people? This is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Muito caro

*2024-02-11*

50 conto por mês, c tá maluko

### 1/5 — PÉSSIMO

*2023-10-15*

horrível, tudo e pago no aplicativo. E possível colocar no máximo umas 3 gerações

### 3/5 — Bien mais trop cher

*2023-09-05*

L’appli est vraiment bien faite et claire.
Mais le prix est excessif, il faut revenir à des prix normaux… 10€ par mois sachant qu’on doit conserver l’abonnement à vie pour pouvoir gérer l’arbre…
Je comprends que vous deviez gagner de l’argent et que l’abonnement est la nouvelle ruée mais non.
Tant pis, Excel fera le job.

### 1/5 — O ti abboni o ti abboni.

*2026-04-28, version 3.3.8*

Una settimana per 6.99 o un mese per 13.99, per un’app di creazione di alberi genealogici.

Ma stiamo scherzando ?

### 1/5 — Не работает, глючит, ФИО полное не отображает

*2026-04-26*

Заплатила за платную версию. Часть сделала, потом начало глючить, вылетать, потом все сбилось (картинка ушла в бок и не возвращалась), потом вообще вышла картинка «политика конфиденциальности» и не входило. Верните деньги!!!

### 1/5 — 垃圾汉化

*2026-02-28*

这个软件的汉化是谁做的？名和姓都翻译不明白？

### 1/5 — Very limited options

*2026-02-04*

You can’t add any notes. You can’t add step parents. A lot of things you can’t. But the most weird to see on main screen last name and only one letter of the first name

### 1/5 — Услуга не предоставлена

*2026-01-14*

Оформила подписку два дня назад, но встроенную покупку обновить не получается…не могу зайти в уже созданный аккаунт

### 1/5 — ?!?

*2025-10-05*

Очень много ошибок

### 1/5 — Пол дня вносила данные зря!

*2025-10-02*

Приложение вылетело и всё данные пропали, зря подписку подключала. Слава богу пробный период был. Бывшего мужа добавить не получается, слетает ветвь нового мужа. Бред в общем

### 1/5 — Нерабочее приложение

*2025-09-18*

Активно предлагает оформить недещевую платную подписку. При этом даже анкету в части города, где родился, заполнить не могу, потому что бесконечно висит. Это фиаско.

### 1/5 — Ingannevole e invasiva

*2025-08-28, version 3.3.1*

Ci sono app che ti fanno decidere per abbonarsi questa decide lei nel senso che si prenota per fregarti se uno non è attento si ritrova con un app acquistata che alla fine non serve  che poi sono 18€ al mese  per fare cosa secondo me è meglio che la togliete fate più bella figura

### 1/5 — It’s doesn’t work

*2025-08-19*

The family tree is not displayed in its entirety. The map won't load. Wasted money

### 5/5 — Can’t get refund

*2025-06-29*

I literally just tried to get refund in the first 30 minutes of the subscribe and it didn’t work

### 5/5 — 评论

*2023-01-11*

看着挺好的，用用再说。

### 5/5 — I can't add my wife.

*2021-12-25*

After the upgrade, there is no wife add-on and wedding anniversary cannot be added. And in the case of a large family (6th generation), it is difficult to print because it is cloudy if you save the image. I subscribed for a year, so please supplement it.

**Developer response:** Dear 쟁기잡이, thank you for your review.  We are sorry that this happened, and we are working to fix this type of bug and we try to constantly improve our application.
Best regards, Daily Discovers Team.

### 5/5 — 뭐하러 만듬

*2020-07-04*

앞에 뜨라고 별 5개 주는데 맘같아선 별 0.1임,,,
아무리 먹고 살아야 해도 그렇지... 무슨 프로필 사진이랑 배경 적용하는데에 3만원으로 구독해요...  광고는 구성원 하나 추가할때마다 뜨고.. 참.. 뭐하러 만듬
진심으로 조언하는데 광고 좀만 더 없애고 옵션 자유롭게만 열어놔도 두배 세배는 더 돈 많이 벌걸요.. 앱이 이따군데 누가 사용해요;;

### 5/5 — App

*2020-01-28*

Achei ele muito bom só é meio confuso

### 5/5 — Best app🤩

*2019-01-31, version 2.5.0*

I really liked this app!
I think it’s awsome, everything worked perfectly and I really enjoyed it!

### 5/5 — It’s has some bad and good things

*2017-10-27*

You can not edit so you know but otherwise it is good ask them to fix that

### 4/5 — Good luck

*2026-06-01*

Good luck do not put the name unknown 3 times it crashes ur game thank me if I saved your storage

### 4/5 — Can’t download

*2023-05-29*

I CANT EVEN DOWNLOAD THIS STUPID APP

### 4/5 — Есть возможность стать лучше

*2023-01-25*

1. Невозможно создать старшее поколение, не заполнив всех членов семьи (всего дерева) текущего поколения. Пользователя обязуют сначала заполнить информацию "вширь" (даже если у него не хватает данных для этого), чтобы иметь возможность уйти "вглубь".

2. Невозможно заполнить просто "год" или "примерные годы" рождения и смерти. Пользователь обязан ввести дату, даже если точная дата неизвестна.

3. Невозможно пропустить "имя".

4. Отсутствует опция добавить краткую биографию. Приложение хранит только паспортные данные семьи: "имя, когда родился, когда умер, фото". Вероятно это такой концепт, но ощущается что чего-то не хватает. Для хранения полной информации и древе, пользователь должен использовать это приложение в комбинации с другими приложениями или медиумами.

5. Экран не поворачивается? Дерево очень широкое, ничего не видно; невозможно растянуть или сузить картинку.
