Your family tree on the go

MyHeritage is the mobile app of the popular genealogy app bearing the same name. This program brings all the services that the website offers to your mobile device. With this, you can make family discoveries, find relatives, and explore your ethnic makeup, all in the convenience of your smartphone. Not only that, but it comes with the new Deep Nostalgia feature, which allows you to animate old photos. However, the mobile app is less intuitive compared to the website.

What does the app offer?

MyHeritage is a well-known genealogy service, which allows people to find out more about their family history. Introduced in 2003, the software started as a reference tool that lets users build and upload their family trees. Years later, the company leverages its position to its users by adding more features for users to enjoy. With the addition of the mobile version, you can now experience all these features through your smartphone.

With the mobile app, you can bring your family tree wherever you go. Moreover, the software allows you to build it up by adding family members and relatives. You can also make instant family discoveries through the Smart Matches and Record Matches features. Smart Matches connect you to other family trees with matching ancestry, while Record Matches provide you with new information about your ancestors. The app has an advanced historical record search engine, called SuperSearch which has a 13 billion global historical record collection. In using this, you can explore the lives of your ancestors.

The program also helps you enrich your family history by allowing you to save family memories, old and new. The software comes with an AI-based technology that automatically colorizes black and white photos. As noted, it comes with a new animation tool called Deep Nostalgia. The feature brings to life your old pictures by making them move. However, this function is not free. Animating more than five photos requires paid subscriptions.

Convenient family research tool

MyHeritage is a great research tool that you can use for studying and exploring your family's ancestry. And with the mobile version, you can do so using your smartphone. The app brings all the helpful tools that the website offers and even comes with photo enhancement and animation features. However, if you are used to the website, you might find the mobile version hard to use. There are bugs to the program that you will have difficulties logging in to, let alone use its features.
