Comments on Ancestry: Family History & DNA for Android

★★★★★ Desiree' Young-Nichols · Jun 8, 2026

This is a very good app for tracking your family history.

★★★★☆ Johanna Roberts · Jun 3, 2026

It's so cool discovering those bits of your heritage and seeing how it matches up with relatives. It really paints a clearer picture of who you are. Plus, you never know what interesting connections you might find along the way. It's like piecing together a fascinating historical puzzle. Definitely a fun journey of self-dis

★★★★★ Bryan Bussewitz · May 29, 2026

Ancestry be spectacular and best decision I ever made. I find out lots about the nation region and territory I come from. I hope to learn more soon. I was able to connect with my sister despite not having much information. Keep up the good work Ancestry team! -Bryan-

★☆☆☆☆ Erica Forbes · Jun 12, 2026

It's good in theory, but I don't like how I have to create my own family tree, rather than it automatically building it off the family members who have paid for their DNA test. Also, it's a bit of a scam because my daughter and I took our tests at the same time, and I paid for an entire year of a subscription, but now it won't tell us how we're connected until I renew my membership. Very disappointed and almost wish I had never bothered.

★☆☆☆☆ Eric Sullivan · Jun 6, 2026

Ancestry has become a joke. It's over $50 a month to unlock everything just to even be able to put together a family tree. Back in December, my wife and I took DNA test for Ancestry and my wife eventually got her results, but I never got mine. I have taken 4 DNA test for Ancestry, and they can never obtain a sample. This seems to be common. I give up after they sent test #5.
