### 4/5 — Review

*2022-02-12, version 2.0*

I like this app it does take awhile to get used to but once you have it you can get a real life tree and as far back as you want to go.

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2022-01-16, version 2.0*

Just started using this app. Really like it so far!

### 4/5 — Minor changes

*2021-12-30, version 2.0*

I love this app!

I’m hoping to make a few suggestions as I would love to keep using this platform for my tree.

1. Adding a wedding date or year to married couples
2. Adding remarried spouses. For couples who have remarried after divorce and have kids with two different people. 
3. Add a non photo option. To be able to add a name of someone you don’t have a photo of. 
4. Most importantly, to sign in on an apple device not registered to you. To allow other family members to contribute to the tree. It’s hard because I only have my phone and everyone has to send photos to me. My husband can’t even log in on his phone
5. Fix the iPad version.  There is not a way to edit or view the full tree. Pretty frustrating when I want to show my family tree and I can’t display it on a big screen that’s interactive. .

Thanks! I would love to see these changes overtime as the app is very user friendly.

### 5/5 — Difficult to learn

*2021-12-28, version 2.0*

This app puzzles me many times. It is difficult to remove a person you think is in the wrong place. The information is correct in the history but wrong elsewhere. I think I may have another program of Family Tree  from the past. 

On the positive side, more information is being added that I did not know. Like dates of births of past generations. Betsy Greenway.

**Developer response:** Hey Betsy, thank you for the feedback. Please reach out to support@photomyne.com so we can assist.

### 5/5 — Great easy app to use!

*2021-12-07, version 2.0*

Using this for daughter's school project. Very easy to use!

### 5/5 — I’m just going

*2021-12-07, version 2.0*

If I could I would give this a 10 star review is the best game ever and if you see it you should really buy it or if I could’ve won hundred star review

**Developer response:** We're glad to hear you like the app :)

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2021-11-30, version 2.0*

This system is fun, but it has some difficulties right now.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2021-11-24, version 2.0*

The app has features that makes it easy to add family

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-10-29, version 2.0*

Great app ! You should get it !        Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Can you add pets?

*2021-08-11, version 2.0*

I’m trying to list my pets but its not letting me I’ve tried. But overall great app!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2021-08-09, version 2.0*

Love seeing who my babies look like and what all family members got from other family members

### 4/5 — Needed updates

*2021-07-29, version 2.0*

I think some updates you need to add are separate family trees that don’t have to be linked for you to make them, divorces, adoption And to Show that they are adopted put adopted on their line,that’s really all keep up the good work!

### 1/5 — Upload isn’t custom. It has to have a face to upload

*2022-03-28, version 2.0*

Update: app requires facial scan. Stay away. Developer responded saying the app is only made for family trees. I found a better app called Quick Family tree that doesn’t require facial scan and you can upload photos 

Im working on pedigrees and when I upload photo, the app wants to scan for a face. If there is no face , it won’t upload. This is weird to me and I shouldn’t have to have a face scanned. I’m doing this to manage horse pedigrees and I can’t with this app. Seems like they’re tracking faces to me. Stay away.

### 1/5 — Unrelenting request for ratings within 15 minutes of first use.

*2020-12-29, version 1.1*

I had to give a rating to halt the interruptions asking for a rating.   Having just downloaded and starting to use this app, I have no idea what I really think of it.  I just know the experience is starting poorly.  

Can we hold off the begging for approval for at least 48 hours?  One week would be better if you really want feedback based on the product.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this. I'll pass your comment to our development team! Can you please remove the rating now? 😞

### 2/5 — Only One Tree

*2023-03-10*

This app is poorly made. Once you create a tree of just your parents, spouse, siblings and kids the app starts shrinking everything incredibly after you’ve added cousins, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. God forbid you add your spouses tree to the mix, everything is already minuscule. You’re not permitted to make separate tree for your spouse or take separate app approved pictures of different branches of the tree you’ve made. This app costs money and it isn’t worth it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us. We will forward your request to our development team. Update: We'd love to hear more about your feedback. Please reach out to support@photomyne.com.

### 2/5 — Not helpful- no half siblings or step parents

*2020-12-27, version 1.1*

I downloaded this app to try and make sense of my family since I’m adopted but it won’t allow me to edit complex relationships like step siblings or half cousins etc. it’s showing me as similar to a step parent and we are not related at all. Please fix

**Developer response:** You can totally add it all. able to scan and save freely without it. You can feel free to reach out to support@photomyne.com so we can assist.

### 3/5 — Please add some things!

*2024-02-19*

1) I have divorced parents. Can you add the ability to put in divorced spouses and the ability to add in additional spouses (re-marries, etc)

2) I have sooooooooo many photos in my phone that while using this app, I cannot search them my name, as I have my people labeled in Photos. I’d love to be able to search my photos from this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us. It is possible to add several spouses. They will be visible once you tap on the tree icon on one of the children. Feel free to reach out to us at support@photomyne.com if you have any other questions.

### 3/5 — Functional yet lacking options

*2022-11-05, version 2.1*

While easy to use it lacks family options like divorces parents adopted siblings and half siblings.

### 3/5 — Nice Fun App!

*2022-03-17, version 2.0*

This seems to be nice visual app for a small family tree. It might get unwieldy for a very large genealogy though! One thing that would boost the rating from me would be the ability to place/reorder the images in order of birth date. Currently the images get added with no regard to actual birth dates so if you add out of order your tree is wrong.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Will be passed onto our development team :)

### 3/5 — Separate family trees?

*2022-01-29, version 2.0*

I come from a medium to large family. And I would like to make separate family trees. Like for my sisters and brother, uncles and aunts, so forth. But, when I tried, it wouldn’t allow me to get past that circle of me. So, is there another way, or not?

**Developer response:** Please reach out to support@photomyne.com so we can assist.

### 4/5 — Good Family Tree App

*2024-02-03*

This app is very clean and has some very good features. I love how it’s shows many people at once. Although while putting in photos the app doesn’t perfectly put it into place, I think this should be modified by the person. Great App!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! If you would like to suggest a feature or an improvement to the app, please write to us at support@photomyne.com . We will try our best to integrate it and earn a five star rating from you.

### 4/5 — Linking trees

*2023-06-11*

Can we “link trees”? By link i mean show me people with a person(s) on my tree & allow our trees to connect those branches making our respective trees bigger. This will allow us to draw the lines between family members without having to know each person.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us. We will forward your great request to our team- thank you!

### 5/5 — Best free family tree app

*2023-09-18*

This app is very clean and I found very easy to put in my family’s information. I had a fun time sitting down with my family and figuring out my entire family tree, plus it’s free. I only have 2 suggestions:

- My family want to see the tree we made and I don’t think there’s a feature to share the tree with others. I’m not sure how that would work but if it could be implemented I’d appreciate that a lot

- I wish there was a setting to put a bio for my family members. Today I heard a lot of great stories abt my ancestors and I wish I could add them to the tree to I can look back and see their accomplishments, when they immigrated, and who they were as a person rather than just a name on a complicated web of people

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us and for your suggestions!  There is an option to share your tree by opening it in your device > tapping on the three dot icon on the top right side of the screen and tap "share tree". I will forward your second request to our team - thank you! Please feel free to reach out to us at support@photomyne.com if you have any other questions or suggestions.

### 5/5 — Super fun, helpful and free

*2022-10-21, version 2.1*

I am really enjoying playing with this fun Family Tree app!

### 5/5 — Need print options

*2022-08-01, version 2.1*

Being able to print would be nice

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review. You can print it ;) Please reach out to support@photomyne.com so we can assist.

### 5/5 — Family tree

*2022-05-16, version 2.1*

This app has help my cousin and I put together a family tree so fast and easy. Our grandfather had 26 kids and we are trying to put us all on a tree and this app was the best choice

**Developer response:** That is amazing! We are glad to hear you are enjoying our app :)

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2022-04-25, version 2.1*

I love this everyone has to try it.

### 5/5 — Updated Review

*2022-03-29, version 2.1*

I love how user friendly this is to make a simple family tree, but it is very limited in that I cannot add a divorce/remarriage. Especially considering how common divorce is, that seems a glaring omission. I would gladly pay to use premium if that were an option.

Update: There’s a way to do this! On each person’s profile, you can uncheck a parent. They let me know via email and I have since purchased premium and am loving it. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out. There is a solution for that! Please reach out to support@photomyne.com and we will gladly answer any question you might have for us.
