Review summary

Users find the TreeView app easy to use and helpful for starting and managing family trees, appreciating its desktop integration and ability to handle large trees. However, recurring complaints include mandatory birth dates for adding members, absence of print/export features, loss of data after updates, limited free photo uploads with aggressive premium prompts, and difficulties representing complex relationships. These issues significantly impact usability and cause frustration among users.

No options to print or export family tree data.

2024-01-03	Ma*****	Useless. Fiddly, awkward, and cannot handle adding someone already on the tree as a relative e.g. someone whose parents are 2nd cousins (not especially uncommon) cannot be properly represented.
