I love this program on my iPad. I see it has not been updated in 9 months. Is the program still under active development?

Terrific app

I've been compiling genealogy data for years, but this app is a tremendous addition for my research. It allows you to load a GEDCOM file and easily zoom into any portion of it. It has allowed me to spot inconsistencies and possible lines of further research which would have otherwise been difficult to spot.

So-so

Usable for reading a GEDCOM file, as long as it isn't huge. Downloads erroneous/outdated info from Family Search tree, for some reason, which doesn't match what's currently posted there.

New Perspective on the Old Family Tree

I love the perspective on my large tree this app gives me. It's easier to see the relationships among people including collaterals. It's a different view than the standard tree, makes you see things differently and may lead to fresh insight. And ALL your information is right there, every piece, as well as the sources. It a viewer, not an editor. I've had it about a year, find it very useful. I also have the PC version.
