FamilySearch Tree makes it easy and convenient to discover and document your own branches of the world’s family tree while preserving family memories, such as photos, written stories, and audio recordings.

February 6 2025--it's not syncing memories with the main server. None of the memories I've uploaded in the last 4 weeks have been added to the profiles of the people on FamilySearch so when I share files with loved ones--though they are marked as public it doesn't work This app is so helpful. It's getting easier to attach family history records to family members! Thanks! I love that I can see how I am related to other friends near me who also have the app open. What a fun update!

I've really enjoyed the ease and ability on this app to seek family info and attach sources. This most recent update though I'm not as fond with. If I want to add a picture the blue wheel just spins and never able to do anything further. Also my list of tasks has become very narrow - used to be based on the people I was currently working on - now I only see people from late 1700s and very early 1800s.

Worse than before... Now can't look at search info.. Goes straight to the possible person but does not allow you to attach it to the person. When you do a search, every time you go back to the search results you have to start over and put in all your search info. You can't select more than 1 photo at a time to put in Memories. Fixed... Can copy person ID.
