I just obtained the app and have been listening to the intros when I started getting the something went wrong message.


Great learning opportunity

Explains everything in detail, tells you where to look, and its teaching you something!


First video, bad advice
Beastiboo

The video regarding organizing leaves left me asking, “These are professional hints?” The speaker gave three hints and disqualified one because she already had the photo. But what about the person who posted the photo? What if this person is unknown to you and could have done research you could obtain? What if this person is a cousin from a branch of your tree you need help with? Don’t disregard a hint so quickly!!


Ancestry!!!

I have been able to learn new ways to research my family’s history and genealogy! I’ve been super surprised at how it gets broken down in the step-by-step ways! So EASY!!!


Why Only Videos?

Videos are not the only way to learn. Quality articles that can be printed or saved as a file would be valuable as well. If anyone reading this agrees, please send feedback to Ancestry.


Very helpful App
Wlweddell

I’ve been into genealogy for decades, but I still have a lot to learn. This app is quite helpful! I appreciate the short videos; I probably wouldn’t watch something 30 minutes or longer. These give me just the jumpstart I need on brick walls and missing info.

Doesn’t work
SeaWall430

I thought I’d struck gold when I found this app. Then I download it and every time I try to sign in I get an error that says I must be connected to a network to continue. Even though I am. And even though the main Ancestry and AncestryDNA apps work just fine. Disappointed is an understatement. For what Ancestry charges for membership I expect better.
