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.

- 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.
