GBI paid for a Geni Pro Account and have… I paid for a Geni Pro Account and have been locked out for the past 6 months. I get no response. You have somehow managed to Wipe out my correct e-mail address so that is one issue. With no phone number to contact you I feel that this is one big scam! It is now 10:43 pm I still can not get into my Geni. I believe your answers are computer generated and no one is actually looking into my problem You keep telling me you sent instructions to reset pass-word yet I get nothing! FINALLY help has arrived. I am able to log into my account.

FRComplete rubbish and just money making Complete rubbish and just money making. 'Hints' to records that make no sense or match anyone. Other users 'hijacking' my tree and adding people, facts, records etc. which are of no relevance to me and my family. I wish, wholeheartedly, I had never seen it or got involved. I would delete my tree if I could find out how to do so. It is an incredibly amateur and difficult, confusing site to use. 'Help' and 'Customer Support' is non-existent. Don't bother with it!

GBOutdated Technology: MP Profiles w/o Sources While this review is present-dated, it represents long-term thinking. Geni.com utilizes long-outdated technology, which makes it cumbersome. MyHeritage (Geni's parent company) has shown no interest in upgrading the Geni.com technology—especially Overviews formatting plus the add/detach aspect. About three years ago, a MyHeritage rep once told me the company planned to roll Geni.com into MyHeritage. Nothing has changed since. I test-trialed MyHeritage and didn't like its appearance or functionality except for the processing speed, which is faster than Ancestry.com. Bottom Line: MyHeritage needs to upgrade its Geni.com ASAP or sell it to a company that will upgrade Geni.com's technology. If you're thinking of subscribing to being a Geni Pro member, don't expect all MP profiles to be sourced. In fact, too many have no sources included. It is a workplace site dependent on Pro members to help supply sources. That said, many MP person profiles starting ca. 1750 in British Colonial America going back to the early medieval era are quite helpful and sourced.

GBSpeeds similar to dial-up circa 1995 I started a tree on the free version of Geni years ago but ignored it. Yesterday & today I began adding data and the site is extremely sluggish. Profiles won't open, pages freeze for more than 3 minutes, words typed in appear only after significant delay and the data isn't accepted by the site after lengthy 'processing' times. I tried over two days - 5 hours or so, but Geni is flat unusable. It's a shame because I like the interface, and I absolutely LOATHE Ancestry - who once tried to sell me my own images, the creeps. But if the 'lite' version of Geni is this bad, I def don't want to see the other side of the paywall.
