User reviews

Great for beginners and long time researchers

I consider myself an experienced genealogist. I started the German course to kick up my skills. I wish I had this app when I was just learning, I would have been more accurate and gleaned more from the records. This app makes it easy to just learn what is needed in the language to “Decipher Ink” for genealogists and not how to hail a taxi or order dinner at a restaurant.
