Only geared to an American audience. Not very inclusive of other countries

Love this app but not all videos have captions so I get left behind as usual when this happens

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.

Very biased towards US users, some very basic omissions for people outside the US. This could be useful if it had been designed for all users not purely for American users. Some of the annoying comments in the presentations. On Irish research you can ignore the 1911 census data as this is after the peak of immigration, so Ireland was empty after this time. On English research the 1939 census is ignored as possibly very few people in America would have ancestors there at this time. The presenter also said that Coventry was in the North, shows a lack of research, yes it is north of London but it is in the Midlands. Also the occupation char lady was somebody who worked for rich people, I bet most char ladies didn’t know that. The comments in themselves are trivial but it showed a lack of knowledge but would be suitable for Americans but not for anyone else. Sorry this was a good idea but it could have been so much better if it had been aimed at a wider audience. I will not be watching anymore of these

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.

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!!!

I’m disappointed to see how heavily US-centric the app is. Minimal content for those of us who pay good money for Ancestry memberships in other countries. Try a bit of inclusivity.

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!!

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