### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-06-13, version 1.60*

Tribal Pages has served me well over the years. It is easy to use and my family love to check in every so often to see if I have updated our family history. I also like the privacy, well done everyone .

### 3/5 — Getting frustrated

*2023-12-08, version 1.60*

I have been using Tribal Pages for about 20 years as a way of sharing my tree with others. It has been a useful tool but is getting more and more frustrating.

1. The app doesn’t use tree diagrams. You can look for a name and then click on a parent or child to move through generations, but this doesn’t give you an overall picture of the family line.

2. To view the family line I went to the web browser on my iPad and logged in. The site asked me to login (as it should) but every time I clicked on a name or the guestbook or reports it again asked me to login without actually giving any information. I hope family members are not experiencing this same problem when I am spending money each year to keep the site alive for them!

3. The site is clunky to use. There haven’t really been many performance changes during the years that I have been using (and paying for) it.

4. It’s annoying that you can only add one census and one occupation per person. We now have the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901, 1911, 1921 and 1939 censuses and during that time people grew up and moved around a lot. Only very limited data can be added to TP which makes its value also very limited.

5. Importing a GEDCOM from Family Historian used to be very simple and could be done weekly or even daily if necessary. It is now a very complicated process. Not sure whether it’s a TP or FH problem but, suffice to say, my TP tree doesn’t get updated via import very often. It’s easier to update records manually - which is duplicate work and, with over 10,000 names, is a real chore.

6. Technical support from TP is very poor. I get the impression TP is a one man band.

Having, said all this, despite the popularity of family history, TP is still the best software and app for doing what it does, so I continue to use it. It has many really great features, but sadly an increasing number of frustrating ones.

### 1/5 — Help!…where are you?

*2023-11-26, version 1.60*

Been trying to contact you via forum, email and messaging for months, no response, web site seems to have been left in limbo by developers, where are the developers of  TribalPages ?

### 1/5 — Not impressed so far

*2022-06-11, version 1.60*

I have tried twice to create an account and both times I get a message that says error: unknown error. What’s going on?

### 2/5 — Hanging up

*2021-01-27, version 1.60*

The whole program is slow and hanging up.  iPhone want show any names. Please fix

### 1/5 — This app

*2019-11-26, version 1.60*

Piss poor

### 4/5 — Fix Birthday List

*2019-02-14, version 1.52*

Love the App am able to update on the fly using the app - However Birthday list is not showing all birthdays as matter fact not showing most birthdays - Please fix

### 1/5 — The app is giving http status 404 message. Please fix it immediately.

*2016-12-26, version 1.52*

The app is sending a http status 404 message and is completely unusable.

### 4/5 — Need to fix name search

*2016-09-09, version 1.52*

Still a fan of this app, but a previous update caused the name search feature to show first names when selecting a letter from the alphabet menu. Needs to show last names like it used to. I can use the search option to find all last names, but then it only shows those with first names starting with A thru G. Please fix this glitch.

### 2/5 — Tribal Pages

*2016-06-25, version 1.50*

Names need to be listed alphabetically by LAST names, not first names!  What happened to the color and the home page photo? Not very attractive any more and being able to see relationship charts is important.  All in all the updated app is not at useful as it used to be.  Please improve!
