Its okay

The app is generally okay I’ve had it for about 2 weeks it does well however I don’t seem to be able to export it. It works pretty well but there are definitely improvements to be made like it can be a bit confusing. There aren’t really any videos online that are under 6years old. One of my main problems is that I cannot see the whole tree at the same time and I’m unable to export it which is annoying as id like to share it with family members. Overall it’s not the worst but it’s not terrible and there are no major problems.

Please get rid thanks

2 Issues Resulting Low Rating

The app is good, it has both Ancestor & Pedigree Chart maps, and stores names neatly,
unfortunately this app DOES NOT PROVIDE SHARING OR EXPORT OPTION on the IOS.

fix that, you'll have the #1 Family Tree Creator App available in the AppStore/ or on IOS.

There is no use of storing data or syncing data if that data is NOT AVAILABLE to be transferred externally.

Can’t add collaborators

Two main problems:

1. You cannot share your trees with others from working the app. You have to login to the Genealogist website. This is not obvious.

2. When you invite collaborators to your tree, they can only view and comment suggestions. They cannot make edits themselves. Seems very pointless!
