Comments and Reviews

Checked out many other genealogy programs. Used Gramps for a long time. But this one is better than any other I tested. Why?
Give it a try! While I still use Gramps because of its vast plug-ins community and the possibility to extend it with my own python routines I constantly switch to Ancestris. Just faster to work with.
TESTIMONIALS section is completely fake, reverse image search for the people providing the reviews are from an eye website; "ALICE" who is supposed to be a historian is actually a blogger named Deinah Storm; guillaume de morant does seem to be ligit, another woman on there is a stock image. Not sure why the fake testimonials unless there is a data miner or something else hidden in the software. Just be cautious.
What was the idea behind reverse searching those images? What had been suspicious?
My opinion: It's not fair to tear down the reputation in such a way without referring to any of the real software features!
