It is in serious need of an update. Last update was 7 years ago. I can no longer link this app to my database which is shared in Dropbox from RootsMagic version 9. I tried v.8 and no luck either. Please step up with a new update and I will revise my review.
The is app is several years old and does not support the file type from the latest RootsMagic software. The only way to get data from the RootsMagic software to the app is through a DropBox account. Also, they do not provide any support for the app. Very poor management!!! Do not waste your money on RootsMagic!
This app is in serious need of an update, in comparison to the RM software.
Can’t import from iCloud Can’t import from Google drive Not updated the software in 6 years.
I have followed the instructions, watched videos, and it still will not link to my Dropbox. This app doesn’t work at all.
Cant use the phone app without youtunes which no longer is available, need an option to use it
The iOS app has not been updated to the new RootsMagic version 8 & 9 file format (.rmtree) so you must import your GEDCOM file into the free RootsMagic Essentials desktop program, then select File/Export Data/Dropbox and wait for Upload of the .rmgc file to complete. Then in the iPhone RootsMagic app select Files/Dropbox and the app will upload the file and open it. Works fine. Interface and Navigation are kind of Klunky but I can view all my genealogy data on the iPhone now.
I have RootsMagic 9 on my computer and I would like to have the information available to me on my IPad but this app won’t work at all. If I click on any of the options it immediately shuts down. Disappointing.
I’m unable to access my database through the mobile app. The link for help is broken.
The instructions within the RootsMagic app refer to features that no longer exist in iTunes. There isn’t an “apps” tab in iTunes and I cannot see RootsMagic in iTunes at all on my computer when my iPhone is connected to my computer. It’s also not clear whether I need a Dropbox account to use RootsMagic. If so, I will be deleting the iPhone RootsMagic app. I don’t need any additional accounts to track. There’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to just drag the RootsMagic file to my device. I’ve been using RootsMagic software on my Windows computers sine 2010. It’s been a good product. But this app so far isn’t working for me.
