Fantastic Support
February 20, 2018

I recently subscribed to MyHeriatge and downloaded their Family Tree Builder program. I had some issues trying to download and upload fliles and well as syncing them. Tech
A Alon was very helpful. She was very knowledgeable about the programs and was a great help in getting me up and running with my new program. Thank you Alon for your help.

Right away
November 9, 2015

They helped me right away without trouble and I didn't have to wait more than a day to get an answer. Within three days my problem was solved. That's how services are supposed to be.

How encouraging that they even have phone support, let alone a staff that one senses really cares. Got my questions answered. Will probably call back again later.

Top Notch helpline
October 18, 2018

Top Notch helpline. The help staff (who all seem to have Irish accents) have endless patience and good humor, even with an idiotic old codger like myself.

Terrible customer service
September 14, 2021

Several years ago, when I was a premium (paying member), I had numerous issues following an upgrade that despite many emails with screen prints went unresolved. I even uncovered a system glitch and reported it and never got an acknowledgement of receipt. The user manual index page numbers are grossly off making it even harder to find things and to help yourself. I cancelled my premium membership. I'm sorry that I built and put so much effort into building my family tree with their app. I should have used Ancestry. I still have an issue with email notifications being sent to family tree members about upcoming events for deceased people (I have clearly indicated in the app that they are deceased). This is very distressing to those who have lost their loved ones. Since you cannot get customer service help unless you are a premium member, I called the Sales office (of course they will take your calls there) and asked that this be reported to someone who could actually do something about it. So think carefully before deciding to use MyHeritage.

I would appreciate online help explaining the process of reviewing and confirming. For instance when you confirm and import to tree, where does it show?

Dear Lulu,

I'm sorry to read your low star review and I regret to find you were unaware of your country's policy on shipment and customs fees.

As you may know, MyHeritage has no control over the various local taxes involved when purchasing something online that is mailed from the United States.

If you have any questions on this or need any help, please feel free to e-mail me personally at rafael.vipsupport@myheritage.com.

Kind Regards
Rafael

Gives me Smart matches almost everyday. My family tree has grown more than ever than with any other program. It was the only one who found my Great grandmother and all her relatives from Sweden.

Dear John,

I absolutely understand how frustrating it is to wait to speak to a representative and I will do all I can to help.

Our aim is to avoid long wait times and we absolutely value every single one of our genealogy researcher's questions and request for assistance. I hope that you will allow us to make up for this disappointing experience you have reported.

I must clarify that MyHeritage informs all of any charge and its price on the automatic e-mail that is sent out after you enroll in a subscription and after every renewal or purchase a DNA kit. Also, one may view the status or cancel an annual subscription at any time when logging in to MyHeritage from the My Purchases page and incur no annual charge.

Your member experience is very important to us and we really do value the satisfaction of all of our members. This is why our terms and conditions read that If you are not satisfied with your purchased plan you may request a full refund by contacting Customer Support within thirty (30) days of the initial purchase date of the subscription.

I would be more than happy to assist you personally with issuing you a full refund. In order to do so, I’m going to need to locate your account.

Please send me a message from your registered e-mail address at shane.vipsupport@myheritage.com so I may assist you with this as soon as possible.

I will be looking for your e-mail.

Kind Regards
Shane, MyHeritage Team

OK, how can you fault something they are giving you for free? Easy when you are met with a page demanding payment to use advanced features at just about every click. "Enjoy FULL access to ALL historical records "FREE for two weeks? EVIDENTLY NOT. This site is so frustrating to try and navigate and input information that I can't last the remainder of my "Free" trial period.
