User Reviews

Users find the Family Tree Maker Connect app easy to navigate and useful for quick viewing of family trees, especially for privacy-conscious users. However, the app has major issues including frequent failures to load trees on Android, lack of editing and research features, synchronization problems with desktop updates, crashes, and limited record integration. Many users express frustration with poor app functionality and unresponsiveness from support, though it works better on some devices like iPad and certain Android phones.

Pros

App has a good layout and is easy to navigate.
Useful as a quick viewer to access the family tree on the go.
Works well on some devices such as iPads and certain Android phones without crashing.
Does not upload the entire master tree to Ancestry, appealing to users wanting privacy.
Provides a basic summary view which is intuitive to navigate.

Cons

App frequently fails to load or display the family tree on multiple Android devices.
Lacks editing capabilities—only a viewer with no option to edit or update tree data.
Synchronization issues where updates from desktop do not reflect in the app.
No connection or integration with Ancestry hints or records, limiting research functionality.
App often crashes or freezes and has navigation bugs leading to unrelated tree sections.

Recent reviews

It's got great potential but it doesn't work properly. When you select a person's tree expansion link, it will take you to another section of your tree that is totally unrelated.

I have followed all the instructions to the best of my ability and discovered here that I'm the daughter of people who were born in the 1700s. I can't edit, search, fix... Was going to resolve a login issue with the tree vault on my computer but it's hopeless. I wish I hadn't bought either service.
