### 1/5 — Worst App, useless

*2026-05-31*

WARNING: The “Gramps” app cannot function. None of the icons work. It is the worst app I’ve purchased on the App Store since joining Apple in 2008.  
It’s unfinished, unmanaged and clearly has faulty programming/ scripting/ coding. 
Nothing in this app is functional and should be removed from the App Store.  I feel like this was either launched without reviewing the file or the entire file for the app is corrupt. I’m so disappointed in the lack of function that I can’t even begin to recognize I actually just threw away $1.99. 
This should be removed from the Apple App Store immediately. 
I would give this 0 stars, but Apple has forced me to list it at 1 star.

### 1/5 — Not a great Gramps!

*2026-05-18*

This was pointless. Stay with Gramps on a computer.

### 1/5 — I wanted to like this app but

*2025-12-16*

I’m afraid none of the links or buttons were active so I couldn’t actually do anything. I’m not sure what it was supposed to do but I couldn’t make it do anything. Big shame. Wanted to support a small developer. Will try another software option.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2025-07-19*

You can't upload GED files. Does not work. But will charge you $1.99 to use it. Currently writing to Apple for a refund.

### 2/5 — Schöner Versuch - misslungen!

*2024-12-31*

Leider ist diese App absolut unbrauchbar. 
Keine Möglichkeit, eigene Daten einzugeben.
Kein funktionierender Import.
Keine Übernahme von XML-Daten aus Gramps.
Selbst 1,99 € ist mehrfach zuviel.

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2024-12-16*

Nicht mal der Import klappt. Sehe nur diese Icons und das wars. Weine grad meinem Geld nach.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2024-08-17*

Dans le titre

### 4/5 — Worked Fine

*2023-12-10*

I was able to import the GEDCOM file. The app continuously loaded so after I while I closed the app and restarted. 

The file then showed up in the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-10-21*

This app does not let you upload your Gedcom. Useless

### 1/5 — Useless and primitive - a far cry from logo of making life easier

*2022-04-09*

This App was purchased on April 9, 2011, invoice id MLJL85WX26a0.
On receipt I tested by adding a couple of people to a tree. It appears to b nigh impossible to to add a spouse to any person in the tree. Can add a child to a person, but not to a family/couple because couldn’t add a spouse to any person. Threw my hands in the air and gave up. I know $2.99 is not much, but free versions of mobile genealogy apps perform much better and probably even allow new persons to be added in correct relationships.
My recommendation: don’t waste even $2.99 on it, it is simply trash. 
I have approached the App Store and PayPal to investigate. Hopefully I will get a refund from from one of them.
Now deleting App from my IPad - unusable.
