All the Wiggas in my house, I broke up with their “MUhLVnAH”

I’m not taking care of people who I left a home behind for “fight for that” peace and light grand rising. Others? Look if I care but the last time I dated was in 06.

This is kind of genius...

I’m not getting any of the app crashes other people are mentioning - iOS 18.1.1, iPhone 16 Pro. Works like a charm. Here’s my old review:

I'm often at a family event where we get seated at a table with someone related that we don't know. The way it works is that you fill in 2 blanks, such as 1) "if my X" is 2) "your Y" then hit submit and it shows you how you are related. It would be great if that's all it did, but since I sometimes don't even know that much, it's even better than that. For "X" I put in "mother's uncle's grandson" and it immediately reduces that down to "second cousin." Sometimes, that's all I want to know. If that is the other person's nephew "Y," it tells me that person is my first cousin once removed. That sounds counter intuitive somehow, but it works! Now I can imagine being at a wedding, and someone I meet says "how are we related?" And everybody whips out their phones... lol

Interesting to use

Interesting app to use and of quite use, however slightly unfortunate the way there isn’t more detailed and even simplified instructions for how to use the app that can be easy enough for a range of different audiences to understand, as well as being a bit unfortunate the way that there can be some in-app ads included.

Disappointed

I loved the original app we’re related!

Failure

Whenever I type in a relationship, it either doesn’t comprehend or it simply closes out of the app. When I downloaded this, I thought it would be helpful to quickly figure out relationships for my genealogy work, but it’s just a waste. One star.
