John Gwynn (ID: 0000008e57403fd2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/10/2024 Since my one star Nov 12, 2022 review things have changed. In 2023 the Hope Chest team repaired most of the problems I mentioned and I have been using it very successfully. It has completed descendancy searches accurately and quickly. I have found several hundred names of my ancestors needing ordinances and helped several friends do the same. Welcome back Hope Chest! HOWEVER, TODAY, MARCH 10,2024 it doesn't work at all so I am now on record as a 3 star user with hope for a quick repair. hERE IS THE PROBLEM! When I am doing a descendancy search Hope Chest stops at the first step. It does not advance the search to the next generation. However, I am able to advance it manually by clicking on the little left pointing arrow on the top person then on to the next generation then the next and so on until I have what appears a complete search and the results are in the Inbox. My name is John Gwynn and I am a Ward FamilySearch consultant.

Eric Adams (ID: 000000ca8e5ce5fc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/20/2023 It doesn't work. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY.

Ruth Anderson (ID: 00000003c2d4708c) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/06/2023 I enjoyed using Hope Chest until last week. I renewed for an another year, Had to upgrade from Plus to Pro because it did not give me the Plus option. It shows that I am enrolled at Pro level, but it will not search. I have sent several emails for support but have not had any response.

Kelvin Brewer (ID: 000000378e9fc0b5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/26/2022 I have been a longtime user. I paid for the 'lifetime' family license many years ago. When they switched to subscription, they offered me a discount on the annual cost to keep the family license, which I accepted. I work for a software company so I understand the need to get annual reoccurring revenue to stay in business. This software has valuable features that I USED often. I have not had access to the full features since the switch. I have emailed, including forwarding the annual payment receipt from PayPal, but still support has not restored my access and they have not responded to my most recent email asking for a resolution. I would like to keep access to the pro features and am willing to keep paying the annual fee to have it, but it is not honest for them to charge me annually and not provide the services. Once this is resolved, I will be happy to improve my ratings as the solution is valuable to my family history research.

Hunter Chapman (ID: 000000c66431a145) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/24/2022 Back when this worked it was great. Now the developers are trying to nickel and dime me. Even the free version/features no longer work for me. Pretty disappointed because this used to be such a great tool.
