Complete 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!

I 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.

Just don't sign up. Poor functionality and underhand charging. Extremely limited functionality unless you put in card details and then they take a YEAR'S subscription if you don't cancel? Arguably it's my fault for allowing myself to fall into the trap, but it is still a trap. A monthly charge I could live with as that's quite normal, if still underhand, but £105 is completely unscrupulous.

Geni is one big cash grab Geni literally promotes itself as having one family tree that connects all of humanity, but to be able to join that one family tree, I have to purchase a PRO subscription (costs $119.40 per year). Their business model is about PAYWALLING the ability the join the one family tree that it is famous for, effectively making it a CRIPPLEWARE. Their goal is to not help people explore their ancestors in one giant family tree, but rather gather as much REVENUE and PROFIT as they can. Geni is a CASH GRAB.

Geni is what you may be searching for Geni is an incredible company. Their website is pretty old and rusty by now and not much have changed throughout the last years. But the Geni community is what makes Geni a fierce competitor and a great genealogy site. But all features of the Geni tree are working well and probably the best on the market. Since Geni offers a Wikipedia like approach and many unique ways of displaying information. The staff of Geni are also very supportive and will do much to satisfy their users. A symbiotic relationship is what you will find if you hop on Geni!
