Quick Family Tree 4+

SIMPLE and FAST at the fundamentals.

I married into a family with a ton of new cousins and aunts and uncles, and already wasn’t great at mentally keeping track of my own extended family. I didn’t need a genealogy service with a family tree maker tacked on. I’ve looked for an app before that could put together a simple family tree, FAST, that would provide a great visual tree layout. I finally found it in this app. Sitting down with my parents and my wife I was able to throw together a easy to navigate family tree VERY quickly that gave me the fundamentals I needed - who’s related to who and how. You CAN add some birthdays, death dates, and extra info if you want, but that’s not really the strength of this app. It’s about being fast and streamlined. If you don’t expect it to be something it’s not, this app is great.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your review. I'm happy that you liked this app.

Smile and easy to use but could have a few improvements

I love this app - thank you for making it free and very easy to use. In a few days I sat with my grams and was able to input quite bit of information about a large family. I love that you don’t have to subscribe or sync with a service. The drag feature is awesome - especially when one needs to edit entries and lines. I love how the tree is very clear and the build is simple very to do.

I love the “capture” and export feature but it would be great if we could also export into a pdf file and if the files could have higher quality pixels. It would also be great if there was a possibility to export all data so it would be saved not just on an iPad and the program but a computer or cloud for safe keeping.

It would good to add fields for; place of birth, place of death death, lives in, occupation ...

I love how one can select who’s family line to see and how for how many generations but it would be super awesome and cool if it was possible to choose to see all the layers with cousins on all the sides ( maybe some kind of a layer feature) ALL the entries of the family all at once.

Oh! If possible to add birthday reminders .... or being able to export birthday info into a calendar would also be super awesome.

Solid 4/5 app with no limits

Unlike many “free” apps on the App Store, this app doesn’t try to trick you with scu*my limits or constantly bug you with subscription notices. It’s legit free & simple. And the app does what it says. The UI is pretty straight forward and simple, although it could use some improvements to make the UI even simpler (but it’s not urgent).

I do wish they could make some improvements (both technical & visual)for adopted family members that have a different last name to their biological parent. Maybe add a rainbow or multi-colored ring around those adopted children and their parents, sort of a vent diagram.

Also, I do hope the devs simplify zooming in and out of family trees. Maybe also add different family tree views for when zooming in.
