However, concerns arise regarding customer service, particularly related to billing issues and the difficulty of reaching support. Some users have reported feeling overwhelmed by the volume of information and have encountered challenges in verifying data. Overall, while the service is praised for its features, improvements in customer support and communication are necessary to enhance user satisfaction.

Feeling confused
February 13, 2025

Site is a little underwhelming. Struggling with keeping my tree organized. Whenever I find a link I feel is beneficial to my search they ask for more money.

Too much informations
February 13, 2025

I'm buried by the amount of matches, so I'm going to restrict the number of ancestries I follow. To focus only on those, too few, that concern me directly.

Judd's gripes
November 22, 2024

Having to get a verification code every time you log on. It would be helpful if the number was valued for 24hours say from 0001 to 2329.
In the Discovery column can the numbers go from the least as well as the most as I prefer to go that way as it makes it look as if you have done more.

Renewing account
February 13, 2025

Disappointed at way renewal figures suggested:
Price was reduced at least 3 times before "final" amount was quoted.
When I didn't "bite" at the amount it was a rude hang up!

Cannot understand
February 13, 2025

I asked why My Heritage annoyingly refers to my grandfather as 'mother's uncle's niece's father-in-law' and my uncle as 'mother's uncle's niece's brother-in-law' and if they could use the simple one word description. The response that I received on 14.01.2025 indicates that there is a 'floating branch' on my family tree! I have no idea what that means but unfortunately it sounds like I am stuck with the complicated My Heritage way of describing people?
