GedView is a viewer and recording tool for your genealogy database when you are out and about researching local records, or visiting locations such as graveyards looking for information. GedView acts as a way to quickly ...
So I can t even get started with the app Very disappointing     Unable to import GEDCOM GVLBob
This is a great tool for doing iPad based research on the go It is easy to use but quite powerful I routinely transfer files between my desktop application Ftm and GedView and then export the changes so I can view those before importing back into my desktop app A great tool at a very reasonable price                     Simple but powerful Lb
It hasn t even allowed me to submit a review     Review Pjfay
This is a great and stable genealogy app I have used this for years and never had a problem My favorite feature is that my source details are all there Really love this app for the road                     Have had it for years Schnarpsel
So easy to set up and use Opened my data from an email sent to myself and started using the program It has a very complete instruction manual that so far has had the answer for ALL of my problem questions Great to now be able to take my info with me and work with it on the go                     VERY GOOD Lmbie
Can import GED files from other programs and makes it very handy to use without carrying a laptop to fimaily get togethers                     Very nice app Blue-92
Definitely the best GEDCOM viewer for iOS I have tried many genealogy apps from the app store I entered the URL of my 153 500 name GEDCOM file on the web and this app loaded the file quickly and effortlessly I am able to search and navigate the genealogical database very quickly I would give more stars if I could                     Only app that can handle my database Baehrpfeife
This is the app I was looking for It does not require membership a special service like Ancestry and it displays my standardized GEDCOM data beautifully without requiring a data connection It s very flexible in the import options and I really like way I was able to import only part of my multimedia library I didn t want my entire scanned document library on my phone but I did want portraits of individuals The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is there is no automatic sync To share data with my Mac app GEDitCOM II I have to manually import export But I d buy it again                 Very very good bocajojo
I find GedView quite handy for on the go reference The data is easy to read Navigation is quick though it takes some getting used to since there s no Back button Uploading new files is a cinch                     Great App iron0037
I could not access a 1 1MB or larger gedcom file Smaller ones worked fine     Size limitation OzarkAquifer
This program met all of my expectations EXCEPT I now find out that I cannot print out the descendant or pedigree charts This is very important to be able to distribute this information to others in the family who do not have a computer             Gedview Aldotty
Imported a GEDCOM file received as an email attachment to my iPad Mini using GedView then exported to my Geneanet genealogy account All transfers went immediately and flawlessly My family tree is now on the web                     Incredible Turbo2T
Admittedly I haven t used many but GEDview does what I need I can carry my GED data with me update and add records and it s pretty easy to use I can even add photos and take notes while in the field Works offline which is important Imports GED files easily What more do you need                     Best genealogy app I ve used umiunchu
Does what it claims It s a snap to import your GED format file view and edit information add photos and videos generate pedigree and descendant charts It s a great tool                     Very good Yoshiyahu262
This is a high performing family history mobile software that is much more than a viewer I converted a FTM 2006 version 16 file running on Windows XP to a GED format and transferred it to an iPAD 2 wireless via a Windows 7 based wireless laptop This used the upload to device wireless server method built into GedView No problems My file is a text only format with a large number of notes and it all transferred GedView appears to have all of the editing revision tools that would be needed to maintain a working family history I have only taken a quick look at the family tree graphs and the traditional genealogical display seems limited to a pedigree chart and this is generation limited This is noted in the user manual as having a memory constrained limit Perhaps an iPad is less memory constrained than some of the other portable devices and could have a more graphic features version Thanks for this great app and its very reasonable pricing                     Excellent App 37 Cord
I am impressed with this app It imported my file with over 4000 records quickly and without any issues It does need a few tweeks that I hope will be fixed over time but so far I am very satisfied with this app                     Impressive ThirdBase
I have used this for 5 years Originally it was just a viewer but extremely handy to have my family history information with me all the time It does a lot more now including being able to add information Those who rated it low must not understand what it is for and failed to take the time to figure it out Their loss                     Great app BB in AZ
Is it perfect Probably not but I ve found nothing better If you check the manual does exactly what it promises From a wish list point of view I would prefer that Events Facts were chronologically sorted rather than separately                     Excellent arrow347
Works good could use a few tweaks                 Does the trick Terrbarr
Does not upload GEDCOM files in any of the various ways that it says it does And there is no technical support And there are no refunds Don t make the same mistake I did by purchasing it Now a couple of weeks later and win some update from the author it WORKS It is great Thanks David     Worthless Teenk
For many years I have been maintaining family trees using Generations Deluxe 6 Windows software Initially I used MyRoots to keep the information on my Palm but after migrating to an iPOD Touch and iPAD found this app It s very easy to use Just export a GEDCOM file mine is GEDCOM 5 5 and transfer to device over WiFi no iTunes is required Multiple Family Trees can be imported into app just use a unique name for each separate tree GED files can be reimported into app and will overwrite existing file There is an extensive User Guide on the website Great app                     Take your ancestral history wherever you go CathieLB
I want to refute the low scores that some customers have given I have been using this app for almost a year and it has worked very well I am running it on a 2nd Gen iPod Touch I have been doing genealogy research for about 45 years and it is a real help for me to have a mobile capability like this I keep my primary databases on Personal Ancestry File PAF and the GEDCOM files that it generates are opened correctly by this app I am pleased and the price is great I wrote directly to the developer with a suggestion for an enhancement regarding display of GEDCOM Sources and was pleasantly surprised when he responded with thanks the next day I give it five stars for functional value for the price                     Great genealogy app PABrown-Massachusetts
Horrible app Big waste of money in my opinion     Terrible Stephie082277
I didn t find it useful and it was a waste of my money I ll stick with ancestry     A waste Bparki
Too many bugs Just deleted it after spending 4 to download it Disappointing     Peter Peter 808
Works great with Reunion 9 for Mac Doesn t import photos or have fancy interface but the program works great                     Works Great Blake5K
I researched many genealogy apps but this was the only one I could find that not only read ged files but allowed editing and wireless syncing I use Personal Ancestral File on my PC so I needed something that wasn t a front end to a specific program or tied to a website This fits the bill and handles a 16 MB ged file with 500MB of multimedia attachments with no probs I was disappointed at first because I thought the app wouldn t accept marriage events but I wrote the developer who replied in less than a day and he pointed out that the functionality was on the family page My first app review but I felt compelled to submit it Highly recommended                     Capable and compatible thebard267
Just purchased this app and can t believe how easy it was to get my data uploaded Very intuitive The interface is great simple to navigate and find what I want Also love that it will display a fajita group sheet                     Super easy DianaR9999
Just downloaded upgrade and lost ALL data from former Gedview Not happy     Gedview NewsyNotes
Great program Importing my gedcoms couldn t have easier It includes all the features necessary for research I can t imagine anyone rating this less than 4 stars The best family tree app I ve seen                     I m impressed dgnad
Easy for this 81 year old non geek ex dumb blond grandma to install I made my GED and emailed it to myself So far I am navigating well but appreciate the easily accessible tutorial It is always safe to have extra storage in addition to being able to carry dead ancestors around Please no bugs                     So far so good Mothershead Neck
I m still not sure how I was able to upload successfully but after reloading the browser window after pressing submit the file was indeed on the iPod I m using this to help with a local history project by connecting persons in family groups that are buried together in a pioneer cemetery PAF creates the Gedcom file This will be a big help when I visit cemeteries or the library No more written notes to decipher when I need a reference point Many thanks for writing the program                     Very nice PopWireless
Lots of great features But a little difficult to navigate A menu would help             GedView Michael Cardinell
This is exactly what I was looking for to use my LDS PAF files on my iPad We can only expect better things from Gedview I will recommend this app to all of my friends interested in genealogy                     Best buy for the money landlocked54
Still crashes when going to tree view but the app will reopen now             Still crashing Stillion:)
This app is awesome so far I would like to be able to send it to my email and view print the family tree with another program in Mac OS There is no way for me to do that at this point I will give 5 star when this feature is added                 Great App but could be better Nxiong
This app imports my GED files and works great with images also                     Works great vsigler

Love it It is well supported by the author and just works                     Great product SushiiiiiiLovar
Not a great app Not very easy to navigate through I thought I put in my immediate family Then I put in my mother s parents and tried to find my mom to link to and it had lost my immediate family info Also the categories are not very clear It just lists date but no indication if it s birthdate date of marriage or education levels Over all I find it unreliable and not user friendly     Save your money Tfdercfhjh
Great program for ipod touch Everything went smoothly in getting databases installed No problems at all so far I was surprised that it held all the information in my databases and could display them Thanks Amazing                 Great program this will be so helpful IndianaRC
I love this Now I have my entire FTM database with me Need information at the library Archives Museum With this app and your GEDCOM you are in business I love the fact that all of my notes are there Every source I have entered is there It will make talking to a fellow researcher or librarian easier when i can show them the source materials I already have utilized Truly a great app                     An outstanding genealogy application Flecka's Papa
The features and fields available are good and the import function works well However there should be an easier way to link family members or it should be more intuitive maybe I m missing something Also the search feature can t find anyone unless I already have them bookmarked             Search problems Captainsclaw
I ve been using GEDVIEW for about a month and have gone through one update All of the features work very well Gedcom downloads are a snap I especially like the fact that notes and sources are included which is very useful in the field Had one support question which was answered immediately and solved                     Very happy Root digger
