Leave a Review GedView
Almost perfect
Really like this genealogy app. I have been using it for some years. I have tried several more expensive ones but I keep coming back to this one. It is easy to find the person you are looking for even without using the search tool as the index is divided by family name. You can also export a gedcom by email which is really useful. It may not offer as many features as other apps but sometimes that is a good thing. The app is also very stable. Never crashed in all the time I have been using it.
The only thing I would like added is the ability to sync between my ipad and iphone rather than doing it manually.Show lessErmintrude61
Best genealogy app I've used
Admittedly, I haven't used many, but GEDview does what I need. I can carry my GED data with me, update and add records, and it's pretty easy to use. I can even add photos and take notes while in the field. Works offline, which is important. Imports GED files easily. What more do you need? :-)umiunchu
Excellent App
This is a high performing family history mobile software, that is much more than a viewer. I converted a FTM 2006 version 16 file running on Windows XP to a GED format, and transferred it to an iPAD 2 wireless via a Windows 7 based wireless laptop. This used the "upload to device" wireless server method built into GedView. No problems. My file is a text only format with a large number of notes, and it all transferred. GedView appears to have all of the editing/revision tools that would be needed to maintain a working family history. I have only taken a quick look at the family tree graphs, and the traditional genealogical display seems limited to a "pedigree" chart, and this is generation limited. This is noted in the user manual as having a memory constrained limit. Perhaps an iPad is less memory constrained than some of the other portable devices, and could have a more graphic features version. Thanks for this great app and its very reasonable pricing.Show less37 Cord
Waste of money
I feel robbed, I want a family tree and this is a confusing pointless app. It doesn't even have a family tree. I want a refund.Bbcj6565659
Works Great
Would have gone 5 stars but there is one little problem. When I try to view descendants, with quit a few it bounces me back to the start screen, like right out of GedView.DougMurdoch
Impressive
I am impressed with this app. It imported my file with over 4000 records quickly and without any issues. It does need a few tweeks that I hope will be fixed over time, but so far I am very satisfied with this app.ThirdBase
Great app!
I have used this for 5 years. Originally it was just a viewer, but extremely handy to have my family history information with me all the time. It does a lot more now, including being able to add information. Those who rated it low must not understand what it is for, and failed to take the time to figure it out. Their loss.Show lessBB in AZ
Excellent
Is it perfect? Probably not, but I've found nothing better. If you check the manual, does exactly what it promises. From a wish list point of view, I would prefer that Events & Facts were chronologically sorted, rather than separately.arrow347
Take your ancestral history wherever you go
For many years I have been maintaining
family trees using Generations Deluxe 6 Windows software. Initially, I used MyRoots to keep the information on my Palm, but after migrating to an iPOD Touch and iPAD, found this app. It's very easy to use. Just export a GEDCOM file (mine is GEDCOM 5.5) and transfer to device over WiFi - no iTunes is required. Multiple Family Trees can be imported into app - just use a unique name for each separate tree. GED files can be reimported into app and will overwrite existing file. There is an extensive User Guide on the website. Great app.Show lessCathieLB
Wow!
Loved this on my iPad, now really love it on my phone. This is the only app I ever paid for and have not regretted it. Thank you so much Mr. Knight, you have made my genealogy so much easier to work with.
This app is not just for when you are away from home either. I use it to look at multiple individuals while I'm on my PC using my genealogy software.
Love that I can access multiple trees with minimal hassle!Show lessGarden was fun
