User Reviews

User reviews for Findmypast on iOS are dominated by reliability and data-management issues. The most frequent problems are sign-in failures and misleading 'no internet' errors, laggy performance, and limited ability to manage trees (deleting entries, handling duplicates, and correcting relationships). Several users note differences between the mobile app and the online version, and some report poor UI/UX and display problems on certain devices. A small number mention positive aspects like ease of use or mobile convenience, but overall sentiment is negative.
Pros
  • Easy to use with accurate hints.
  • Mobile convenience: carry your family history research in your pocket.
Cons
  • Frequent sign-in/login problems, including having to sign in repeatedly and account creation issues.
  • App reports no internet connection even when a connection exists.
  • Laggy, slow performance and overall buggy behavior.
  • Tree management limitations: cannot delete unwanted profiles, duplicates can be created, and editing relationships is difficult or inconsistent with the online version.
  • UI/UX problems: oversized UI elements, inability to resize on some devices, and landscape view issues.

There was a time when fmp was a wonderful site. Those days are apparently over. Just added the app, unuseable. From Family Search to fmp, I found 5 family members but fmp won't let me see them. Limited time before charges accrue. I'll save myself some time and delete this waste. Will also let Family Search know what a sad site they are recommending.

Ease of use, accurate hints. 5 enthusiastic stars!

I find the app a bit clunky to use and I don’t like that I have to sign in every time I use it on my own device. Nevertheless, it is nice to carry my family history research in my pocket.
