MyHeritage is generally well-regarded for its user-friendly platform and extensive database, which many customers find invaluable for tracing their ancestry and connecting with relatives. Users appreciate the regular updates and the powerful search capabilities that facilitate discoveries. 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.

I buyed a kit on november 15 but never received it, then You guys said You Will send other one but the tracker of that one never updates. Just like first one. It is not fair I want My refund
They have great communication keeping you updated, good advice when required confirming connections to your family tree.
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.
Very good services offered from tracking family history, dates, names relatives, ancestral places, family, official documents, offering various great packages to choose from Thank you to my héritage maria Sinicropi
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.
Great service. Great, company. Would not use another company
Had a problem in trying to reconnect into an old account and the Team literally pulled out all the stops to get me reactivated
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.
The program is super and MyHeritage is constantly making it better.
Mainly good but at times the extended families are too far out from the person being texeatchef
Happy with you so far the only problem i do experiance is when i send message to people they either do not or choose not to reply they also take a long time to do so
Since being a member the amount of information i discovered has let me to find out a lot of family i didn't know about
I have ( still due to lack of interest) a problem adding a person to my family tree as a member. Sent 2 requests for assistance and no response.Thank you.
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!

I paid for more...I was showed it could be done...for another fee of course. I paid, now nothing weeks later.
I got right back to the 14th century!
I always heard about being related to sis lady's dukes and earls now I have historical proof right up to modern times where mansion houses are still standing..
I appreciated the customer service I receive during my recent renewal.
You can always count on MyHeritage to have the best ways to build your tree with all your ancestor's. So easy to achieve all possibilities to find and love the family tree that you have always wanted to have. Thank so much for the help you give to all your costumer's.
Data handling is excellent, but some bells are missing especially with regard to displaying the resultsThere should be other tre form like direct lineage etc.
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?
Site is great. Loads of links to other sites as well. Still playing with it but am able to update my Family Tree.
Answer: My issue was the automatic renewal without any kind of courtesy reminder prior to the effective date, as other businesses do. Advising one year in advance is a poor business practice. When I contacted them immediately on the renewal effective date, they refused to cancel and offered me a 25% discount. They eventually gave me the full refund but it was due to me turning it over to AMEX to resolve. I do however agree with the advice to base your renewal on your own personal experience.
Answer: You can find your site subscriptions via MyHeritage homepage - pull-down menu on the right upper corner button "Settings". Then click on "My purchases", and button "Site subscriptions". Click "View details". The details contain section "Cancel subscription". Maybe you can get advice by mail from MyHeritage support team (support@myheritage.com).
Answer: If you are looking to get as many connections to your tree that you can, use My Heritage. If you want flexibility in who is added to your tree, use Ancestry.
Answer: Dear Jonathan, Yes I have the same problem, I wrote to My Heritage and they have still not responded to my request for assistance. They are highly Sloppy and unprofessional in responding to customer request for assistance. Even though they have and excellent Technical Team. Fortunately I have another Computer with Windows 8 as a result of which I am able to continue working with my Website. But recently a few problems have cropped up with the recent upgrade of the My Heritage Program and have sent in a request for assistance and till today 3-5 months later I have no response. Apparently the company believes that they can play games with the customers. I firmly believe that they have somehow gone into self destructive mode.

Answer: I believe a direct ancestor is someone without whom you would not be here. All your other ancestors are indirect.

Answer: Hi After posting my complaint about MyHeritage on here I got a very quick response from some one called Dave at the company. He told me to send an email to support@myheritage.com and add the subject Dave: sitejabber. He responded a couple of days later - I emailed on a Saturday - and the auto repeat on my subscription was cancelled and my money refunded within days. Hope this helps.
