Zoiets simpels als het veranderen als het rekeningnummer waar je automatische afschrijving van gedaan wordt werd omgedraaid naar het verplicht moeten doen van een nieuwe aankoop, omdat anders het account onbetaalbaar zou worden, aangezien de lopende regeling niet zou gelden bij het veranderen van rekeningnummer. Dit heb ik bij geen enkele andere ondernemer ooit meegemaakt.

Muy mala experiencia
August 21, 2025

Compre un par de Kit, que nunca llegaron, me renovaron una suscripción que no uso ni voy a usar, supuestamente me van a devolver 99 dólares y a enviar nuevamente los Kit, conclusión perderé lo invertido en el par de Kit y los seis meses de una suscripción que no utilizare.
Para terminar de rematar como dice un refrán popular, "tras de corneado, apaleado", hoy que me llega un reporte le banco el saldo de mi deuda no corresponde al valor que tengo en mente, consulto las transacciones y MyHeritage ha realizado el cobro doble, me dirijo al banco y ellos me certifican que efectivamente la responsabilidad es de ustedes.
Si hubiera posibilidad de dar cero estrellas lo haría.
Que pésima experiencia.

Como melhorar
August 20, 2025

Tenho algumas críticas ao suporte com relação a aprimoramentos que podem ser implementados no site e aplicativo. Deveria haver um canal para que os usuários pudessem apresentar sugestões para o aprimoramento do My Heritage. Eu mesmo teria várias sugestões de correções e aprimoramentos e desconheço a quem ou a que setor do My Heritage devo me dirigir para apresentá-las, e entendo que outros usuários também gostariam de propor correções. Cabe destacar que o suporte em português nem sempre está disponível para os usuários que tem esse idioma como básico. Não se trata, necessariamente, de erros, mas de aperfeiçoamentos que seriam úteis aos usuários.

Outstanding
August 20, 2025

Overall the experience, support, data passed onto your journey or proposed for your consideration sets the options or opportunities to dive deep into your family's search, and customer service is excellent. I look forward to those Monday emails.

Easy way to find relatives
August 20, 2025

MyHeritage is very helpful both in finding living relatives, and ancestors who have passed on. The Smart Matches make it easy to locate people in my own tree who are similar, if not exact, matches for those in another person's tree.

Subscription Switch
August 20, 2025

At renewal, I was contacted by MyHeritage, offering a subscription upgrade. I agreed to the upgrade largely because I was told a subscription to fold3 was included. After trying to utilize fold3 I found that wasn't the case and chatbot Eve told me MyHeritage doesn't have fold3 folded into MyHeritage. Not happy with the upgrade that they sold me on just so that they could set me up with automatic renewal of my subscription.

Olen ollut tyytyväinen DNA-testiin ja sen tuloksiin, joka on auttanut saamaan selville paljon uusia kaukaisiakin sukulaisia ja terveysraportti sekä muinaiset alkuperät ovat olleet mielenkiintoista ja opettavaista luettavaa.

Hyper déçue
August 20, 2025

J'ai sollicité votre site à la base pour avoir le résultat d'un test ADN... me retrouve avec un abonnement jamais demandé négocié à prix inférieur sans avoir jamais eu les résultats ADN... hyper déçue... des frais payés pour aucun résultats.
