### 1/5 — Junk

*2023-11-11*

Tried a 90 day subscription. The app itself, was unusable since it kept shutting down intermittently. When it stayed open, it was of no help. Save your money

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2023-10-12*

Won’t let me sign in to my account.  And the information is if French.  Not helpful at all.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2023-10-01*

Not sure what has or has not happened with this app, but it is totally unusable. Every time you click anything or attempt to edit a tree, the app crashes and closes 👎

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-03-10*

Can not log in just like everybody else

### 1/5 — Fixed?

*2022-12-19, version 2.20*

When I opened the app I put in my user and password and suddenly it let me in? And this time the main screen was not in French. Still a little laggy though and not as promising as ads and friends have told me.

### 1/5 — Geneanet app

*2022-12-13, version 2.20*

Cannot sign. Can sign in from search engine. Try to start new tree it's all in French. Not for mr

### 1/5 — Unable to Login

*2022-11-25, version 2.20*

Same problem as reported by others. I log in on this app and the app tells me on not logged. I log in using a Windows 11 laptop and I get logged in using the same user name and password.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-11-10, version 2.20*

Accepts your username and password but then says You Are Not Logged In. Based on another review this has been happening for a couple of years. Don't waste your time with this useless app.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2022-10-26, version 2.20*

Desktop version works great, but this app will not let you log with the correct user and password.  I do not read French, and that is the only support available. If you are going yo offer this, why can’t someone at HQ do quality assurance BEFORE they waste your time?

### 3/5 — Good idea, poorly executed

*2022-09-06, version 2.20*

The software is free. Thumb up.
The app is difficult to use and crashes often. Thumb down.
