  • Deleted it!

    It assumes that you already have a family tree somewhere else and won't allow you to build one from scratch which makes the program pretty useless.
  • Very nice!

    I'm still not sure how I was able to upload successfully but after reloading the browser window after pressing submit the file was indeed on the iPod.

    I'm using this to help with a local history project by connecting persons in family groups that are buried together in a pioneer cemetery. PAF creates the Gedcom file.

    This will be a big help when I visit cemeteries or the library. No more written notes to decipher when I need a reference point.

    Many thanks for writing the program.

  • Brilliant!!!

    Excellent App. I downloaded a Gedcom file from Legacy 7.5. Navigation between detail, pedigree, and ancestor views is a breeze. Screen layouts and content are excellent. Down load of Gedcom is a little tricky, but the help was sufficient to get it done. I am using this strictly to view the Gedcom contents.

  • Cool

    Good application. I only wish I could print something from this app.
  • Great app support

    This is a great app. I've been using it for a couple of years now and they are still updating it and adding features. Recently I decided to upload an updated gedcom complete with a huge file of images and kept getting an error message. Emailed support and they got back to me within a couple of hours having found and fixed the error in the file and now it's working great. I like it because I can use it offline on my iPod touch when there isn't wifi.

  • Get this!

    Use this every day. Great for holding conversations and doing research on your tree as my tree is internet based and i cant always get to it when i need to. Brilliant.
  • Wish I had the option to give more than 5 stars!

    I'm in complete awe of this little app! It is amazing! I have over 9000 individuals in my tree and am well used to carrying my laptop around when I'm in need of checking data. In future I won't need to do that... as long as I've got my phone with me. I can search for individuals or families in seconds, see pedigree charts and all of the copious notes and data that have included on my tree - all in a really user friendly format. I gather you can even edit the data... although I haven't yet worked out whether you can then upload the edited GEDCOM back to the master file on the laptop. It's fast, efficient and impressive. Would give it 10 stars if I could!

  • Nice app

    I have only had this programme running for less than a day. So far I have no issues. It downloaded and installed quickly. Loading the Gedcom file from an email was super fast and easy once I figured out how to do it. Read the manual;). I have my research and data on a laptop computer. I would not want to work primarily from a phone or IPod etc. So this works well as a handy mobile reference. I think that to expect more is impractical. I have over 5,000 names now and no glitches so far. I would like to see more tree options, especially direct descendancy and compression of the existing tree. The family group sheet also displays initially in the corner oft screen. Full screen would be nicer. I would give this a five but not until I see further refinement. All in all a nice little app.

  • Fun while it lasted...

    I only had this App on my phone, not on my computer... For people who are new at this, a warning would help. Last updated erased everything, need to start over. Boo :-(
  • Terrific!!

    I cannot believe how easy this was. And dirt cheap for what it gives you. I bought the app from my iTouch - installed within seconds. I am not that savvy with this stuff so I was a little concerned on how I would get my existing Ged format database onto the iTouch and into the app. I followed the instructions and went to "Select/Import Gedcom file" and chose "Upload to Device". It invited me to type an http:// IP address in my web browser on the Mac and then to choose the file. I selected the Gedcom file from my backup memory stick and there it was!! It appeared of its own accord on the iTouch as a new database!! I have checked through and everything seems to have imported perfectly, and it does more than I expected reading the reviews. Wonderful. As a simple and handy file to carry around it is exactly what I wanted. I can't recommend this highly enough.
