We're Related

In the fall of 2017, something changed with the app and even clear lines of descent are ignored. My nephew is using my tree and they don't show us as being related. Contacting the development team with feedback is useless. The don't even bother to look at it. Typical of Ancestry - make a big splash about nothing...mess up the programming and then just ignore the end user. This app is next to useless as it is and they aren't even attempting to fix it.

Overall an entertaining app. You do have to have a facebook....I have one I literally never use, so it just mainly comes up with celebrities for me. I can't say for the validity of the relations, but the app is fun. I never have crash issues, but again, I have literally no friends on Facebook. And that connection may be part of the problem. Takes up a large chunk of space. I turned notifications off also.

*If you have any issues with We're Related, don't bother with sending a report. They don't read them or reply. 9 weeks and I'm still with an app that keeps stopping.* I really wouldn't bother with this app, unless they do an update and fix issues with viewing 'possible connection's with celebs. All I get is the message 'We're Related has stopped' everytime I go on to the app. Reported several times with NO response. I know the app is 'just for fun'...but it isn't when you can't even use it!

It's saying that I am not related to my siblings or cousins ( even though we are using the same exact information ). I am unable to edit or make corrections. I can't connect with relatives using the app. Not very user friendly. I have tried submitting feedback to the developers repeatedly, and they have not responded, nor have they fixed the problem.

This app doesn't recognize my sister as my sister only as a 2nd cousin?! I have a strong family line that dates back to the foundation of the United States. It use to give me updates everyday on a new relative everyday. But it stopped and I haven't gained a new relative on the app for almost a month.

I am very happy with the app so far. It is important that you take the info from the suggested possible relationships and then research further to validate the accuracy of the information rather than just assuming it is correct. The suggestions have also enabled me to uncover ancestors in my own direct line that I hadn't been able to identify previously.

All but about 6 of the people that it said I'm possibly related to deleted. It no longer tells me how I'm related to people. And originally it said I was related to a friend through our 5th great grandfather, making us 5th cousins, and it now shows that were related through a different person and are 6th cousins. Also for a few months the app refused to let me open it and would crash as soon as I opened it.

Needs Facebook to work, 1 star. Also clear sign in the reviews that they've bolstered their high reviews with bots or paid reviewers or something. A bunch of 4 and 5 star reviews with little to no input all clumped together.

Too many crashes. As for match quality, I'm more interested in the common ancestor, so I find it useful. Several ancestors are strong possibilities, some definite, & the rest , idk, needs further research. Overall, great app, if the crashes didn't happen.

Worked for my wife, tells me there is an error communicating with server, try again later. Tried next day, error again before I could even get to my name, got passed that point, error again. Could not load tree.

This app is really fun but not only that, it has filled in gaps in my own tree that I was unable to do on my own. This is a must have app. Thank you for creating it. I find there to be zero flaws in it.

While there are some questionable connections, like ancestors for an unknown grand parent, it is fun and does allow you to tell it that the app is wrong. If they keep improving it, I think it could get to 5 stars

Basic premise is good. However, it ignored my tree and based a connection to celebrities on incorrect trees. Not impressed so far. I should be able to reject those suggestions.

I have a very large family tree that I've been adding to and actively searching on for over 10 years. I also completed a DNA kit, and since I've installed this app, it's produced no matches and encourages me to "add to my tree."

It's basically for fun. If there is an error in a tree of one of your possible relatives or an error in your tree you may not be related. Also seems that it has not been sending anything new lately.

I don't use Facebook so this is a useless app. Facebook is useless as they automatically disable my account as soon as I try to make an account. Facebook has no way to actually talk to a human so that makes Facebook and this app useless if one can't use it.

What happened to this app, it was working great and now all the sudden you cant see the line that links you to the person. It closes every time you hit the button to see the links

It's fun and interesting. So far has given me matches that I have seen before, just wasn't sure of the connection. This helps for that reason.

Uses an old ancestry tree that was deleted. It will not use data from most recent corrected tree. Lots of false leads. Yes it's for fun but wrong.

Love the idea of this even though it's not necessarily accurate (would be nice if it was). I would really like to be able to search the results so I don't have to scroll through the list to find a specific person.

Finding famous people I'm related to is awesome. Also it helps with blood lines I didn't have information for before.

This is awesome! Not sure exactly how accurate it is, but I do know it has some accuracy! Its exciting to learn of so many famous people I might be related to!

After last update, I can't switch off an active tree. Please fix! This used to be an awesome app.

Pure silliness, based on my early ancestors. Still fun shocker for the family!

THIS APP SUCKS IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK ALL I WANT TO DO IS FIND MY BROTHER'S

Very interesting to see who you are related to after research I have found the information contained accurate

Doesn't work. Won't select tree. Just keeps going back to list of trees to choose.

The app has all of a sudden crashed and a lot of people i know who also use it tell the same story. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Not always accurate but certainly gives you something to work with. Great fun!

It's frustrating when I have no matches for 3 to 4 weeks at a time and then I sign out and sign back in in a matter of seconds and I lose everything I had and then I have to start all over I wish there was a better way that I can get more matches more frequently and not lose the ones I have

I had an issue with incorrect Facebook account linked. I reinstalled and now, regardless what I do I keep getting communication errors.

Fun app. Possibly related to Marilyn Monroe & the Obama's. Even if none of this is accurate, it's still cool to know that there's a possibility to be related to famous people.

Not sure if there is an explore feature where you can search for certain people, but documented link to a president doesn't show up as being a relative...

Interesting. I'm pleased that it says "possible" relative as it depends on the accuracy of what others have submitted. It does, however, point to some possibilities, though to verify them would take some time.

Everyday I find a new ancestor through my new found father's bloodline. Very impressive I love this application. I have found life changing connections that I never knew were there. I highly recommend this application.

It used to work Now it crashes all the time and won't connect.. Very disappointed

This program helps me with my family tree. Sometimes I get hints or connections I haven't found yet because I was missing some ancestors records.Enjoyable and helpful!

It's fun. Haven't had any problems and wouldn't bet money on accuracy, but it's fun.

Update: 1/12/18: This is an absolute joke to Ancestry! They just don't care that their products don't work (I STILL have trouble with the Ancestry tree app as well). It's RIDICULOUS!! The app simply cannot communicate with servers. PLEASE FIX IT!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SEND FEEDBACK ON THE SAME ISSUE?!?! 11/25/2017 this app hasn't worked properly in a year!!!!Went from five stars to just one. Just got off the phone with customer support because a relationship path wouldn't update. Was told this app is "just for fun" therefore there is no help with this issue. What?! She went on to say that this app is not intended for research at all (even though the documents used to build an ancestor profile are legitimate documents), yes I understand there can be some mistakes but it is most definitely a research tool. I can't believe they don't care to help or make improvements?! What's the point then? If I wanted a fun only factor I would download a meaningless game... PLEASE FIX "RECALCULATE" IT DOESN'T WORK. IT HAS REMOVED OBVIOUS RELATIONSHIP CONNECTIONS THAT WERE ONCE There and continuously crashes when trying to recalculate (12/10/2017) please take the app offline if your company doesn't care to have customer service nor fix the problems that are apparent in this app (12/16/2017)

I signed into my ancestry account an d it won't allow me to choose a family tree to find relatives through. It does absolutely nothing
