You captured every day of its life. Tamalogy turns those moments into a complete archive—from the very first photo to a family tree that spans generations. • Photo journal: post 1-9 photos from camera or library, or log a moment without one. Browse by day; filter by device, tag, date, and text. • Family tree: record every generation and spouse, with lineages and manual fixes. Pin a favorite photo as each node's cover and export the whole tree as an image. • Character dex: a built-in multi-model character library (DLC included) shows collection progress at a glance. Entries can be recorded from the family tree or checked and unchecked manually, with links back to your photos. • Device profiles: name, model, color, purchase date, and status for every device—reorder them with a drag. • Built-in guides: Paradise, Uni, Connection V3, V4, V4.5, School, ID, iD L, P's, 4U, Smart, and Original Gen 1/2/3—fourteen bilingual guides, always at hand. • Offline-first: your data stays on the device and can be exported anytime. Import from Uni via dual QR codes, with HD enhancement. Full Version is a one-time in-app purchase that permanently unlocks unlimited devices, multi-device data imports, and saving custom genetic appearances. It also includes all future updates.
