  • Unable to import GEDCOM

    So I can't even get started with the app. Very disappointing.

    If your GEDCOM doesn't import please contact support so we can identify the cause
  • Simple but powerful

    This is a great tool for doing iPad based research on the go. It is easy to use but quite powerful. I routinely transfer files between my desktop application (Ftm) and GedView and then export the changes so I can view those before importing back into my desktop app. A great tool at a very reasonable price.

  • Have had it for years

    This is a great and stable genealogy app. I have used this for years and never had a problem. My favorite feature is that my source details are all there. Really love this app for the road!
  • VERY GOOD!!

    So easy to set up and use. Opened my data from an email sent to myself and started using the program! It has a very complete instruction manual that, so far, has had the answer for ALL of my problem/questions.
    Great to now be able to take my info with me and work with it on the go!
  • Only app that can handle my database!!

    Definitely the best GEDCOM viewer for iOS! I have tried many genealogy apps from the app store. I entered the URL of my 153,500+ name GEDCOM file on the web, and this app loaded the file quickly and effortlessly. I am able to search and navigate the genealogical database very quickly. I would give more stars if I could.

  • Very very good

    This is the app I was looking for - It does not require membership a special service like Ancestry and it displays my standardized GEDCOM data beautifully without requiring a data connection. It’s very flexible in the import options, and I really like way I was able to import only part of my multimedia library. (I didn’t want my entire scanned document library on my phone, but I did want portraits of individuals.)

    The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is there is no automatic sync. To share data with my Mac app ( GEDitCOM II) I have to manually import/export. But I’d buy it again.

  • Great App!

    I find GedView quite handy for on-the-go reference. The data is easy to read. Navigation is quick though it takes some getting used to since there's no Back button. Uploading new files is a cinch!
  • Impressive Family Tree App!

    I'm finding this app rather useful for viewing the GED I exported from Family Tree Maker. I especially like the way it will show a map of birth locations and its search capability.
  • A Great Genealogy Aid

    This is a great way to carry your family tree details round with, if you don't want to trust them to the vagaries and insecurity of the web. Simply sync periodically with a Gedcom export from your main Genealogy program. It's great!
