Family Tree Maker Connect 4+

As a plain old viewer this app is great.............but that’s it! I might as well save some PDF reports from the main FTM on my Mac to share with family and friends, in fact that would be better as we often share with those we are not with physically. And as a tool for research, very frustrating. I can see what I want to edit on the go....but I can’t. So I don’t actually use it at all now. I’m currently trying out Heredis and it’s mobile app which allows edits and additions (and adding media)and it seems to be working well, just the sync with the Mac is a little awkward but it works. I used to use Ancestry but the sync between that and FTM was messing up my tree - if you do this check your tree and I’ll bet you’ll find lots of duplicate people - it has taken me ages deleting the duplicates!

I had this for the variation of searching addresses and names and making reports etc just like computer Windows FTM 2019
It’s nothing like. I have more than one designed tree but won’t let me alternate etc. A waste of time unless you just want a list.

This app is advertised as a viewer, not as an editable resource. As such it provides Family Tree Maker ( currently on Windows only) owners , the opportunity to consult part of their tree on iPad at family gatherings or as a reminder of basic info at record offices. My ipad6 shows full fore names and surnames plus birth year. I just wish I had it a recent family funeral, I spent ages explaining my connection to the deceased. The simple coloured tree diagram shows that easily on one screen. Also useful if asked what was great aunt Mabel’s husbands name. A useful app while we wait for a tablet version of FTM.
