### 4/5 — Its okay

*2026-04-27, version 2.0.22*

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.

### 1/5 — Sign in FIRST

*2025-08-16, version 2.0.22*

Nope, deleting…

### 2/5 — Awful

*2024-08-29*

Please get rid thanks

### 1/5 — 2 Issues Resulting Low Rating

*2024-08-24, version 2.0.22*

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.

### 2/5 — Can’t add collaborators

*2023-11-22, version 2.0.22*

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!

### 3/5 — Ok.

*2023-08-11, version 2.0.22*

This is the best family tree software I’ve found so far that I can use on my tablet. However, it’s not nearly as good as ones you can get for a PC. The process of adding more information to each individual is much more laborious than it needs to be. Also, I would really like to be able to choose to make some of the extra facts I enter visible in the main tree view. It will show the person’s name and date of birth and death, but I would like to select things like nickname to be shown. If there is a way to do that, I can’t find it.

### 4/5 — Useful to use

*2023-06-17, version 2.0.22*

Useful to use but would like to suggest it being possible to use the app without creating/logging into account first, the whole tree to be shown without having to click onto people individually, it being made easier to add people from different relationships such as half sibling and their other parent, it being easier to remove people from the tree, it being possible to add sibling before adding at least one parent first.

### 2/5 — Images

*2022-12-26*

Wouldn’t upload images from my iPhone 11

### 5/5 — It great but

*2022-09-09, version 1.1.0*

I love the app and but the problem is how can I download the family tree that I made to my photo image to my mobile other than that the app is great.

### 5/5 — Okay

*2021-11-22, version 1.1.0*

I’m using the app for my made up story. The only problem I have is the siblings is not in the right order. I don’t like it as birthday order.
