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 am always being sent possible ancestors from the distant past. Their names seem familiar but the I see I have about 400 people wrong. Too old to be alive the or too young to be the parent. I have no idea how to rectify this as I don't know who they are?
Also, I have seen information on my own parents family that somebody has added. Their facts are completely wrong and I have no idea how to rectify this. These are my parents therefore I know their facts.
I still think this site is the best, ease of use and packed with information.
Why do you make it impossible to contact your company when I have a problem where I need human help? Trying to renew my subscription was a nightmare. As far a FAQ's are concerned, somebody just does not get it. Real users have situations that you do not contemplate with your FAQ's! DO NOT misunderstand me when I say that the real live person who finally helped me was a God send. I mean it. He was very good but I thought talking with a live person was never going to happen
The program is so very amazing, it helped all along the way to finding more ancestors. To the point I am often embarrassed to tell people how far my tree goes back. I also often thought that it could not possibly true, how could there be records from so long ago.
Today, I am just enjoying it I just wish I could get all this on one chart as it is very hard to visualize the enormity of it. My grandchildren have just accepted that they "men of the world".
I have been recommending the program left and right and anyone that wants to listen.
As an occasional user of MyHeritage, I was planning to cancel my subscription. However, the offer of a discount made the subscription affordable and I am pleased to be able to access this website when I choose. Thank you for this.

Fees keep rising and long time subscribers like do not get any real advantage... Just access to sources of little use. I maintain a tree with thousands of people and I have not had real advantage in doing so. I am really thinking to keep my tree locally.
Iinformation the site offers is useful and clear; my problem is that I have more information than I can organize and use properly. Even though I'm now retired, I cannot find enough time to deal with the information, so I know I have a lot of inconsistencies which should be corrected. I also am sure that better knowledge of organizing processes would help, so I'm looking for resources nearby.
You can check back on what I had reported. I was without 2 important functions in the phots section for editing. I went a long time without the service because I was given inaccurate pop up messages for those functions. Now, finally this 2 functions have been corrected, another issues has arisen. I select translate to English and it switches to english. But never remains there. It seems that whatever I do it keeps switching back to the Thai language. I keep having to select translate to english repeatedly. It is not working correctly. I went to my settings but never changed them. But the problem was created after the other issues got resolved. Please check this. It's not the setting on my end. I have already tried and it doesn't fix the issue.
Ich hatte während längerer Zeit ein gröberes Syncrhonisationsproblem zwischen dem Web und dem FTB. Auch der Support konnte es zuerst nicht lösen. Eden vom Support übernahm den Fall und scheute keine Mühe, mir zu helfen. Nun ist das Problem gelöst. Ganz herzlichen Dank.
Sowieso bin ich ganz begeistert von MyHeritage, insbesondere von den Zugriffsmöglichkeiten auf Millionen von Dokumenten. Eine Anregung habe ich: Meine Frau und ich liessen eine DNA Analyse machen. Es ist schwierig, diese zu interpretieren. Hier wäre eine für Laien geeigntete Erläuterung oder auch Links zu solchen Erläuterungen hilfreich.

אתר מדהים, שירות תמיכה מעולה, ממליצה בחום לחבריי ומשפחתי ליהנות מכם. תחושת שלווה, יש על מי לסמוך. התמיכה היתה מועילה עניינית ומקצועית. תבוכו במעשיכם. יש מה ללמוד מאנשי המקצוע שלכם. החלפת כתובת מייל חשפה אותי לאילן שלי.
Eden hat mir über TeamView sehr gut geholfen und einen zum zweiten Mal aufgetretenen Synchronisierungsfehler "Fehler 11" beseitigt.
Nachdem wieder mal kein deutschsprachiger Mitarbeiter zu Verfügung stand konnte ir trotz extremer Sprachschwierigkeiten geholfen werden; Danke Maja
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: 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.
