Ratings and reviews

The app is lacking significantly compared to the website. Hints appear and disappear seemingly at will. The tree view has been in "beta" for way too long and continuously shows nothing but an "unknown" blank profile. There is no way to navigate to a known person. You can modify but the functionality is severely limited. Overall, it is not particularly useful as it is right now and pales compared to other genealogical storage apps and even to the FMP website! Please make this app useful!

The app is grate if you wanna create a family tree. It gives you the knowledge you need.it is more for knowing when your grandparents got married or when a relative was born ect. Don't downloaded it if you are looking for pasifics of who is in your family. It's more of a I am board let's find a bit more on my relatives.defantly has more potential,but other than that grate app

it's a fabulous collection of records. Easy to use and search for information. only down side I have found are military records can be a bit hit and miss. everything else is brilliant.
