I am using this app to create a gedcom file for John of Gaunt’s direct ancestors, based on Wikipedia. The file consists on nearly 2000 names. This is the only app for the IPhone that I discovered that was up-to-the-task; thus the 5 star rating. It does have a few hitches: (A) There is no undo button (b) The x to clear a field is easily tapped when entering a long line into a field (C) If an person is the ancestor of more than one person on the Ahnentafel Report, the following two problems occur: (1) Although the person is correctly displayed at the first possible position, the highest possible ahnentafel number is assigned. The highest possible number is carried forward to subsequent generation, which ends up in a jumbled numbering mess. To overcome this problem, I manually enter the lowest possible ahnentafel number as part of the title. (2) Subsequent positions on the report the above person do not refer back to the first position. If someone has the gedcom file, they can use the electronic file to find the person by name. But with an extensive data base, this severely limits the use of the ahnentafel file as a stand-alone. The following problem is shared by programs written for the computer and IPhone: The ahentafael report can be printed as s hard copy or as a PDF file, but cannot be printed to Word or Pages. As I previously stated, this is the best app that I found for the IPhone, therefore, I recommend it.

Just bought this app this morning. So this may be a bit premature, but I am simply frustrated. I spent the money on this app and I don’t usually do that. So here goes. Upon seeing this app for the first time and adding a bit here and there, the first problem I ran into was it’s location/mapping addition. It took me forever to figure out that “Place” meant “As general a place as you can imagine”. I was putting in addresses and all it wants is the actual city. I can’t put in the address, but I can put in that it happens in St. Louis City, County of St. Louis, State of Missouri, country United States. If you were planning on plotting actual locations on that map site, like a church, home, or hospital; good luck! The location/mapping addition doesn’t do that. That was a feature that I was really looking forward to, so that brought it down to 4 stars right away. I decided to start entering pictures... this is what brought it down to a 2 star rating. It crashes a good 60-75% of the time I try to add pictures. It seems the first loads up ok, but when you try to add a second one, CRASH!!! Again... and again.... and again. If both of these were fixed, the app would be well worth the money, but right now it’s suspect. If I had to do it again, I would look for another. Who just wants to look at dates? If you can’t add pictures and the mapping function is so limiting, you’re just buying a place to store dates.

I love the app, both the iOS and Mac versions, and I love how they allow me to have a single database on all of my devices. I love all of the features the app offers, but the app runs terribly slow when syncing with FamilySearch and with my other devices. I don’t have too many issues with slow operation on my Mac, but on my iPad it runs so slow it prevents me from being able to use the app until it has finished syncing. Isn’t there something that can be done about this? I can’t even type in something as simple as a person’s name. I would give the app five stars, but I can’t bring myself to do this until this issue is addressed. This is an issue I would learn to deal with, but as this app is not exactly a cheaper app in the App Store, I would expect a little bit better performance for the price I paid. Please fix this ASAP. I would gladly change my rating if/when this issue is resolved.
