GedView

When I try to import a gedcom-file the app crashes. Dont't buy this crap!!!

Ett alldeles utmärkt litet program som gör att man kan ha med sig sin släktforskning hela tiden. Mycket enkelt att importera gedcom-filen via Bonjour. Även svenska tecken (åäö) blev rätt, och noteringar och referenser följde med vid importen. Har ofta stött på att något av detta krånglat vid export/import av gedcom-filer mellan (mycket dyrare) släktforskningsprogram. Stamtavla och lista på ättlingar finns för alla personer. Det enda negativa är att å och ä sorteras efter a, och ö efter o, fast så brukar det ju bli med icke-svenska släktforskningsprogram. För endast 28 kr är programmet ett måste för alla släktforskare som har en iPhone!

The app now crashes immedatly after start and that was not an issue before this update. I did like it before but now I cant use it.

I like the app even tho it cost money I have fun doing that thank you for creating it

My old viewer died and I needed a new viewer on my iPhone for my GEDCOM file. Uploading the GEDCOM file is easy. The author will respond to your question(s) very timely. BTW, my GEDCOM file is 13 years old and an older format. This app read the file with no problems.

Excellent tree app, for my iPhone and iPad. Professionally done and very easy to use. I've never had any problems with it, yet it continues to be updated and improved regularly. Great tech support.😃👏 Beautiful update ! Thanks.

Been using it for years. Can’t thank you enough for your making it available. PS: Operator error is the obvious reason that the few lunkheads didn’t like it. DH Northern Michigan.

One would assume with a $5 app called “GedView”, that viewing gedcom files would be a function of said app. Don’t bother.

2nd attempt to submit a review: much more abbreviated this time. Neither this app store profile nor the gedview web site provide a clear description of what the app actually does. The gedview app doesn't operate directly off the ged file. Instead, it converts the content of your ged into a new database, then no longer uses the original ged file. In the process of conversion, it dropped the middle name field content of my ged file, leaving the new database with ambiguous, corrupted data with first names and surnames, only. Since there's no log file created nor warnings issued about dropped or ignored data, It is impossible to know what else is ignored by the attempt to translate the ged file. It was a waste of $5 just to find out its limitations. The resulting database is worthless and can't be trusted with my ged files. I've deleted the app. Just get a good iOS-based family tree app like MobileFamilyTree that handles multiple versions of ged file formats for import and it provides a rich functional interface with FamilySearch's global genealogy database. it is functionally much, much more robust.

I created my family tree on my pc using Family Historian. I was looking for an app to transfer it to my iPhone. I found Ged View and it is exactly what I was looking for. I was amazed at all the options for uploading my tree. Since my computer and phone are on the same home network, I choose to upload the files directly from computer to phone. It worked flawlessly! I couldn’t believe it but all 1487 people were there with all the family links in place. All 647 photographs were there and properly linked. Now I have my family tree in my pocket with photographs. I am very happy! The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because of one flaw I found. When I am looking at a photo and rotate my phone to horizontal, it skips to a different photo. I hope they fix that.
