Family Tree is a thoughtful, easy-to-use family genealogy app for iPhone and iPad. Record names, birth and death dates, biographies, and photos for every relative — then organize them in an expandable family tree. Keep your tree private on your device, sync it to the cloud, or collaborate with family members across the world.
BUILD YOUR FAMILY TREE
• Create unlimited family books with an expandable, interactive tree view
• Add ancestors, children, spouses, and full multi-generation lineages
• Record names, gender, birth dates, death dates, biographies, and photos
• Children are automatically sorted by birth date
• Smart "Add Ancestor" — promotes the current root person to a child of a new ancestor
LOCAL & CLOUD STORAGE
• Local Books — stored privately as folders on your device, no login required
• Cloud Books — saved to your account so you can access them from any device
• Shared Books — invite family members to view or edit a book together
• Each person's folder can also hold related files and photos
PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE TREES
• Browse and search public knowledge books shared by other users
• Create your own public knowledge trees on any topic — history, biology, organizations, anything that fits a tree structure
• Subscribe to public books to keep them on your Home
PHOTOS FOR EVERY PERSON
• Attach a profile photo for each family member
• Add multiple photos to a person's photo gallery
• Take photos with the camera or pick from your Photo Library
EXPORT TO PDF
• Export your entire family tree to a beautifully formatted A4 PDF
• Tree branch lines, SF Symbol icons, names, and spouses are rendered accurately
• Share the PDF via Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or save it to Files
WI-FI FILE TRANSFER
• Transfer files (photos, documents) into a book over your local Wi-Fi network
• No cables, no cloud accounts — works directly with any browser
SIGN IN YOUR WAY
• Sign in with Apple, Google, Facebook, WeChat, or Email
• Use the app fully offline with Local Books — no sign-in required
BILINGUAL INTERFACE
• Full English and Simplified Chinese interface
• Automatically detects your device language on first launch
• Switch languages anytime in Settings
PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN
• Local Books never leave your device
• Cloud data is tied to your account — only you and people you invite can see it
• No ads inside personal book content; revenue from non-intrusive banner ads only
This app barely allows you to do anything that you can't do without it. The only upside is that unlike many other first version apps it does not crash. Should also come with a help, or "getting started" file. Took a while to figure this out on my own. You have to start at the top of your tree because the app only allows you to add descendants, no ancestors.

This is the perfect family tree for privacy, I can add any info on family members without it going out to the world. I have used it for family reunions creating a 9 page PDF with the option, printing and then handing out. Everyone loved it. I subscribe to several genealogy site but didn’t add all info because I always had people who wanted me to respect their privacy or that of their children. It takes some time learning exactly how to use it but well worth the effort. I love this app
Trust the reviews

I should’ve trusted the reviews. This app is essentially an app where you input your family tree and it does nothing beyond that. It’s not even user friendly so I couldn’t even figure out how to input my own family tree info.
Not ready!!

Not user friendly. Just a list of dates and names. Doesn't show in diagram form so can't see family connections. No instructions. Don't buy this app!
Export family tree PDF for both local and cloud data.
