The app is very good, and we can keep track of the family quite easily including from registers found by ancestry. The onlybad and quite annoying issue I found is that I am not able to see the entire tree at once, only close relatives! That is not useful when you do not know if you have details from someone far from you, or simply to see how we are both connected.

This is not a very good app at all! Far too slow! You don't appear to have a person finder? When eventually you find the person you want, the view button is useless, as it does not respond! Where can you view other peoples family trees? When I do a search for someone, you list everyone except the one I want and even list another person with a different first name! Why? When are you going to improve this app? Not enough room to write a review as limited space!

Love how you can add people and edit events ~ perfect when I`m out and about. I notice people saying you can only see one child of a couple, but that's just in Tree view. Click on the parent to see his/her profile on the right, then click their family (the icon with the group of people pic at the top) and their relatives are all listed. Its a bit fiddly I know, but it gets you there! :)
