The Genealogist website struggles to match the competition

I've rated The Genealogist at three because it might suit others more than me.I have used Ancestry in the past but as that membership has lapsed, I thought I'd try The Genealogist instead using a free trial.Positives: Search result groups are good (though a pain to collapse), Census records are clear (though 1939 images are not available), maps are great, with layers for vaious years - very nice, great date serch ranges.Negatives: Very England and Wales focused, it's hard to drill down and shorten the list of results, far too may results for searches, even with wildcards.I tested The Genealogist with some data I already knew and it struggled with immigration (mostly departures, very few arrivals), even when adding a date range, results lists are huge.I've just cancelled the free trial after 24 hours and all appears easy in terms of cancellation so no issues (hopefully) as reported by others on Trust Pilot. Now off to try another website (e.g. FindmyPast) before deciding whether to revert to Ancestry to complement free sites such as FamilySearch, which is great by comparison.
