Excellent application
I have family tree maker on pc with over 6,000 people included. Instead of having to buy mac software, as other applications require, this one works direct off a gen file. I uploaded my gen file very easily to the application and everything works great. All the info I require to use during researching at historicial societies, libraries etc is in the palm of the hand instead of carting folders and books etc about. Set out well, easy to search, all info there. Compared to the price of others and the requirements of buying their software this is a great application which I will be using a lot. Thanks.
An addition in later updates could be the ablity to search place names. This would be very helpful. Great app.Show less0722marty
GEDVIEW ON THE IPHONE
I bought an IPhone on a whim but have really enjoyed looking for apps and this is the best I have bought by far. I like to take my research with me and this is brill. The only way to upload the Gedcom is by WIFI or through your own site, I did not have either so emailed Gedview support and they gave me a simple free solution (the next day!!) through setting up a free website on Google. Their instructions were easy to follow and spot on. It would be handier if it uploaded the gedcom file through itunes. But the solution given worked well just a little time consuming. I have only just started using this app and it seems to be a great handy app for the Genealogist. The only reason I gave 4 not 5 stars is I have not had chance to use it much so I will come back and update it!Show lessSnoozi

Very very happy........
I was not initially happy with this app on first installation as I didn't believe it was as functional as indicated. Round of applause to the developer as the most recent updates have addressed the only real flaw in the original version. This is now truly a standalone app and as such stands alone in apps of it's type. Well done!!!Show lessRhonapony
A great app!
I use The Master Genealogist on my PC and another product on my iPhone for a handy, go everywhere reference. After acquiring my iPad that other product just wouldn't cut it anymore. I downloaded GedView this evening and imported a fresh Gedcom. Wow! I cannot believe how easy it was to import it across my wifi network. I was up and running in under ten minutes. Thanks for making it so easy.
The only problem thus far was when I clicked on "descendants" on a way-back ancestor without thinking...I received a "not enough memory" message. Sigh...I guess I will have to wait until I can buy an iPad model 10 that comes with 8 GB of ram and a terabyte of flash memory.
On a more practical note, the only items or things that I miss so far are caused by the nature of the gedcom exchange format itself. This is a great app and I can not recommend it highly enough!Show lessold dba
Excellent
I have never posted a review before. This app is absolutely awesome. It looks wonderful on an iPad. My old eyes need the extra help. That's the reason I bought the iPad in the first place. Beyond that, the app is exactly what I would have written if I had the time and expertise. And it has a help function that REALLY helps. Well done...Show lessStan in TN
Still has some bugs but getting better
I've added another star since the last release and my last review.
It is now possible to create family trees as a standalone app. As far as I can tell, this is unique on the iPhone if you also want to be able to export your work to desktop apps on a PC.
The sexes of the people in the tree still change on their own when you edit other data. There's bug in the program that makes me nervous.
There's a tree view feature in the manual but I can't seem to get it to work. Might be me...
The list of what should come next is very long but my immediate requests would be:
- the ability to attach pictures to people
- auto calculation of ages
- relationship names between people in an easier way
- import, export, or sync info from the iPhone contacts database per individual
Keep working on this. I think there's a lot of potential here.
Or, if the competition would unlock their apps from their Mac apps, that would work too...
Thanks.Show lessDavid 164678
Great App
One of the few genealogy apps available & IMO the best. I have used genealogy apps on windows phones, but this one beats them all especially with it's pedigree view. One enhancement I would like to see would be the addition of a 'home' person that is always shown at startup, however, this can be partialy achieved currently by using bookmarks so no great problem.
Excellent app & I look forward to future releases.Show lesstrainersbuk
Needs help file
When I first downloaded the program it took a while to figure out, since there no instructions. But it's a good program and does what it's suppose to. I wish it could import pictures then it would be worth five stars.Leng Jax
Blown away!
I read about this app through the Legacy Users Group. After looking at David Knight's website I decided to give it a try. Wow! This is a fully functional genealogy program. I downloaded a gedcom with about 4600 individuals and lots of data. It works accurately and fast. It includes individual, family and pedigree views. Easy editing functions, screen rotation, easily readable - I could go on and on. This will be so useful when interviewing family members, visiting libraries and cemeteries and for entertainment when I'm bored. Couldn't be happier! If you're into genealogy, buy this today.Show lessSatorione
