Ratings and Reviews
Families
I was really excited and liked this app. I input 85 entries but the system crashed whenever I used the not living button. Then it crashed and would not open at all. I synced it with my PC and it showed the info in the text summary but I can't view the data on the PC in a meaningful way. Had to reinstall the app on the phone to open it and lost all my data At £9 this is the dearest app I have bought and I am disappointed.
First Impressions
I have just downloaded this App, so have not yet plumbed it's depths !
So far I like it.
It can be a bit difficult sometimes getting it to switch first time to what I want due to my large manly fingertips and the small area of display.
Take the example above of JFK and his wife.
To the left of Jackie's photo it says "S 1 of 2".
This indicates how many spouses she has had and that JFK was her 1st. Touching this takes you to her second husband, i.e. "S 2 of 2"
On my Touch this is a very small display and it is difficult to "touch" just this "S 1 of 2", and not the info above.
But this is a limitation due to the screen size, and my large fingertips so I can't blame TelGen.
One possible problem I have noticed is, curiously, with this same display.
With one of my ancestors who had 2 wives, when I touch "S 1 of 2", it switches to display his second wife but shows "S 3 of 2" ??
Has anyone else this prob ?
Excellent
Works extremely well with Legacy data files allowing you to import details of all individuals, including all research notes and photographs. An excellent app for taking your complete family tree with you at all times. Can't understand negative comments, and no, I have no connections with TelGen.
