I love this app so much! After a tough day, I love to unwind with looking up people on here.I love how I would look someone up, and it would give you a brief synopsis of the last name, where it’s predominantly located, and meaning. HOWEVER, Since you’ve done the update, it’s made my queries […]

The New Search is better in many ways but worse in the most important way… please fix. I appreciate the better categories for search and the integrated results. BUT search only returns one genealogical record before going into other items. For me, it’s almost NEVER the right person unless they have an obscure name and […]
Hi, I just want to express a concern. I don’t know if this only happened to mine. But I was writing a story in Memories and It was already very long and full of my thoughts and feelings when I accidentally tapped on the back button of the phone. Immediately everything I wrote was gone. […]
February 6 2025–it’s not syncing memories with the main server. None of the memories I’ve uploaded in the last 4 weeks have been added to the profiles of the people on FamilySearch so when I share files with loved ones–though they are marked as public it doesn’t work This app is so helpful. It’s getting […]
App is great, support team struggles. It’s church service missionaries that aren’t very technical. I had the “no capable browser” issue. They tried to help but just couldn’t figure it out. I fixed it by changing the default browser in Android back to Chrome. I had it defaulted to DuckDuckGo. App dev team should fix […]
Unstable and frustrating. Won’t load most of the time. No longer syncs w/website. Terrible for editing and research. For merge or detach, half the time, buttons are below the phone screen, w/o the ability to scroll. Slow, full of bugs or glitches. I use it for quick reference, but must use the website for research […]
I just installed this & started with a basic search. It found records but they don’t open – I get a brief “loading” spinning thing & when it stops, just an empty page. A message flashed at the bottom of the screen but it was gone so quickly that I couldn’t read it even if […]
When I first downloaded this app a little over a year ago, I admit, I wasn’t too sure how to work everything, and I was just sorta feeling my way around. Yet, as time has passed and more updates have come along, I find myself very much enamored with FamilySearch overall. This is a very […]
I spent over 3 years working on my family history on this app, and now I can’t even access my tree with well over 300 people on it. There is no technical support to reach out to. I have to start all over and add people again and merge them. My memories are even removed […]
Love the app! Helped me go all the way back it 1400’s on half of my maternal side, as others have mentioned in their reviews, there are a few glitches, and some inaccurate things that will take some time to sort through, but to me that is a small fee to pay, for NO ADS, […]
I love this app, but when I’m reviewing record hints where a name isn’t aligned with the person in family tree, it pops up with a message when you try to move it saying to ‘click and drag to realign with a family tree person’, but you can’t do that on a mobile device. Only […]
LOVE THE SITE, NOT THE APP! I’ve been trying to use this app for several months. I get notifications of birthdays and things, but when I open the app to see them, it only shows the old notifications from months ago. I get the spinning wheel and it never changes. I even left the app […]
I really like it for the most part. It is sometimes hard to get back to someone you are researching without starting from the beginning. An x would be nice rather than an arrow so you could return to the one you are researching. And there needs to be a way to add or delete […]
Changes have made my research harder. The feature I’ve used the most was find a person. If there is someone I know is in my tree and I don’t want to spend ages trying to get to their profile, I use that. Even if I have the name entered exactly like it is in records, […]
It is a great option for working on your family tree from anywhere right on your phone. But the download doesn’t work, it doesn’t give enough options if name at beginning isn’t same as who you want to connect to the source and even when the names of family members are already listed it only […]
Overall, I have found this app much easier to navigate over going straight to family search. The setup makes it easier to correct information and to compare information. The way the record search changed on the last update made searching more difficult due to the way it is on screen. It is crowded together in […]
Love this app and use it all the time. The photo and document memories for mobile are bugged to hell. I have been trying to upload several photos and documents and find that while they appear loaded for me, they don’t show anywhere else (the settings are not private, already checked). I also can’t upload […]
It’s a pretty good app. There are inaccuracies, but you can get a place to begin. If you locate info that’s isn’t there, and for example, add it to the wrong place or person, it’s almost impossible to correct sometimes. The app itself is buggy lately and I have to sign in again every few […]
Ever since the latest update, I can hardly complete one small task before it asks me to sign in again. There’s a check box marked “keep me signed in for two weeks” but it’s a total lie. It won’t even keep me signed in for two minutes. I’m editing my review after the response from […]
Definitely a learning curve when developing the family tree, though once you stick with it and are very detail, the reward will be great. The layout and the features are actually very clean, friendlier than other sites. I happen to go big, so my wife’s tree is way over the top compared to many other […]
