User reviews

A very poor offering of a mobile app and getting worse

I reviewed this app previously and its shortcomings are still evident - it’s just a very basic viewer really and not much functionality. But now it won’t load my antenna tree at all - I get an error to say the process was not completed. I logged out and back in but same result. I don’t know if it’s to do with the forthcoming (maybe!) improvements to the mobile experience but I have had constant trouble with FTM on Windows seemingly losing connection with my antenna tree, not syncing, and only remedy is to keep replacing it. So maybe the whole backup system is breaking.

No stars

This app is pointless very disappointed.I don’t have time left in my life to wait for it to even open.
I got it to allow me to add to my family ancestry on my Ipad anywhere I am but it doesn’t do that it’s just a list of what you have on your main Family Tree Maker software.Such a shame.

B

I like being able to access the basic information from anywhere, and adds a layer of protection by being in the cloud. I can edit at home, no problem. Allowing family members access to my work is a plus.

Does not work on the latest IOS iPhone

I just updated to iPhone 15 and this app does not work at all.

Waste of time

I upgraded to try out the new item, Tree Vault. To try it out one must have a subscription, which I didn’t know that before hand. What you get without the subscription is a program called Connect. And all that does is enable one to have the tree of their choice on their phone or IPad. Cannot edit add or anything else other than delete it. If one wants to pay a monthly fee to be able to do anything then upgrade to FTM 2019. If not, then stay with FTM 2017 as there is not enough changes to make the upgrade worth it. For the first time since I have had FTM, which has been almost two decades, I am extremely disappointed.
