User reviews

Junk

App won’t open gedcom file that other apps open successfully. The file is greyed out in the app

Völlig unzulänglich

Gedcom Dateien mit Endung .ged werden nicht erkannt. Ich konnte keine einzige Datei öffnen. Darstellungen sind auf 8 Generationen beschränkt. Ich hab 15 in meinen Gedcom Dateien

Schneller und übersichtlicher Viewer

Keine Probleme beim (extrem schnellen) Einlesen meiner GEDCOM Datei (über 4000 Personen). Sehr übersichtlich: Direkter Zugang zu einer Person über die alphabet. Liste und die Suche. Schnelles Navigieren über die verschiedenen Ansichten. Sehr hilfreich: Die geteilte Ansicht (zwei verschiedene Ansichten gleichzeitig). Somit für mich ein nahezu perfektes Hilfsmittel (Wünsche gibt es immer), um schnell die Daten zu einer Person oder zu einer Familie nachzuschlagen.

Works fine

I have a gedcom file that with 2000+ people that I built with genJ. This read it fine.

Waste of money!

This app won't upload my GEDCOM data. Worthless!

Response from developer

Sorry about the late reply! (Replying to reviews is a recent addition to the app store) What exactly is your problem? The app can't upload data, only download. Did you have a problem downloading from iCloud Drive?
