Family tree research is becoming an ever more popular past time. Normally all of your genealogy information is locked away on your computer at home which isn't much use when you are out and about researching local records, or visiting locations such as graveyards, ancestral homes, or family reunions. This is where GedView comes in. Carry around your entire family tree on your iPhone, iPod, or iPad and have all the data about your ancestors and even current descendants at your fingertips. You can quickly check up on family relationships, dates / locations of events, and record new information. Despite the name GedView is not just a viewing tool. This includes taking photos, or video anywhere and anytime you like without needing to worry about a potentially costly internet connection. If using an iPhone, or a cellular enabled iPad you can even record your current location to add to any event. If your tree contains lots of images you can even use GedView as a slideshow, showing all the pictures related to a given event, person, source, family. You can also play back any home movies you have in your tree. Media support is not limited to photos/video. Support is also included for any other file type your iPhone, iPod, or iPad is capable of opening. This may be PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, mp3 files. If you have an app installed that supports a specific document type and have a document of that type in your tree you will be able to view it via GedView. Do you have some separate branches in your tree that you haven't connected yet? GedView allows you to store multiple trees so you can easily switch to view distinct branches. Unlike other apps no specific computer application is required, nor is a subscription to any website. Instead standard GEDCOM files can be imported, These can be encoded as ASCII, ANSI, ANSEL, UTF-8, or UTF-16 and can be added to GedView via WiFi, downloading from a website, via iTunes, or even opened from other apps such as Mail, Safari, Dropbox etc. While GedView is targeted towards GEDCOM 5.5.1 it will read in any version, and will also support many custom extensions used by other genealogy applications, and because GEDCOM hasn't been added as an after thought imports are fast and efficient. You can even export GEDCOM files for sharing with family members or other researchers, or to transfer new information to your main computer. A sample family tree containing the British monarchy is included. If you have any problems, or suggestions please get in touch via the support email address.}

Not quite sure why previous reviewer has criticised it for being buggy…if you are unsure and don’t know how to use it, read the manual first before criticising it. This is simple perfection. You can enter as much or as little as you like, no unnecessary boxes, bells or whistles. No it doesn’t automatically fill everything for you, you have to do the work, no automatic source generators here 😂 .. learn genealogy correctly from the start and this little gem, that packs an awesome punch will see you right every time.

I am very disappointed in this app. Full of bugs on the iPad version. Input is not intuitive and unforgiving if you make a mistake. For example if you link the wrong parent to a child by mistake (easily done if the same family name repeats) you cannot delete the wrong name and add the right one. You create a second mother or father! Names disappear. Reports don’t work - pedigree reports continually close the app when you try to run them. Save yourself a fiver. This is a total waste of money.

While adding a person with surname Roberts, the iPadOS keyboard autocomplete inadvertently changed it to Robert’s. After I edited the saved person to correct the surname, the name Index still lists the mistaken Robert’s below Roberts. There’s no person with that surname, so I cannot select and delete it. There’s no way I could find to remove this data entry mistake.

My old viewer died and I needed a new viewer on my iPhone for my GEDCOM file. Uploading the GEDCOM file is easy. The author will respond to your question(s) very timely. BTW, my GEDCOM file is 13 years old and an older format. This app read the file with no problems.

Number one issue: this app does not have a tree view, just a list view. I bought and downloaded this app to allow me to view and edit GEDCOM files so I wouldn't have to completely reconstruct a part of my family tree in order to share it without exposing more than just one branch. Unfortunately, this app does not allow for trimming branches, you have to go in and delete families (actually, one couple and their children) one at a time or remove people individually. I may as well start a new tree from scratch and reenter everything! This app is utterly worthless.

This program works as described, is very easy to use and has a great manual. Ancestry dot com is getting too greedy, I had occasionally bought a subscription to get extra info but mainly used it without. Now they bombard you with advertisements. Downloading my Ancestry data to My Files on my iPad and GedView uploaded all 3,200+ records seamlessly. I'm a retired software developer and I am not easily impressed, but GedView impresses me. Thanks, Tuffsy.

The program doesn’t to be able correctly map people from a GEDCOM file. I’ve tried using a file from my computer software program and also from the ancestry.ca site with still finding people combined and looking like it’s one person. Maybe I’m doing something wrong ☹️

Excellent tree app, for my iPhone and iPad. Professionally done and very easy to use. I've never had any problems with it, yet it continues to be updated and improved regularly. Great tech support.😃👏
