Ratings and reviews

Program hangs frequently !difficult to open file

This is a great app. Loads fast and has great features. Traditional tree view. Love the circle graph. Details view shows all gedcom tags. Simple setting allows it to see all my photos. I wish it had a relationship calculator.

It just works. I came from the RootsMagic app which never worked properly on either of my last two phones. This program just does what it claims and so far does it well. It's a read only app which is fine. I keep my full tree on my computer but occasionally need a quick look when responding to email.
