Greast program for showing off, or just checking on my data from my Legacy family tree. The display is very logical and easy to see and use.

I literally use the Families app every day. I've read some of the negative reviews, and they seem to be mostly about not being able to sync their devices with their Legacy files. I have not had any problems doing this with my Android; it works well for me. Having my genealogy data with me at all times has been a lifesaver. When I go to a library/archive or out of town on a research trip, I am able to look up anyone I have a question about to be sure I have the right person, right dates, right places, etc. There's no way I can remember all the details for everyone in my file, so the Families app is essential for me. One of the best things about the app is that when I am at a family gathering, my relatives will come to me knowing that I'm the family historian and ask me questions. I grab my phone, look up the person in question, and am able to provide the answer since I have the person's details as well as all my notes and sources in the Families app. People are very impressed when they see that. I love this app!

Families Very useful application for me. Synchronization between my android device and PC is good - no problem. And my family tree is available for me - anytime and anywhere. Great job. I can recommend for Legacy Family tree users.

Bought this as a recommendation, tried to load a ged file it does not recognize it nor is there anyway to load it thought my file was corrupt but loaded a free app, and it opened it straight away I want a refund

I rarely take the time to write a review...only if I'm extremely happy with the product or if I'm very dissatisfied. In this case it is the latter. I agree with Linda and Christine. After messing with the app for about 30 minutes trying to get my Legacy file onto my Android I finally figured out what it was asking me about the file! Once I figured that out, I tried to sync using the USB and everything looked like it was running, but it didn't appear on the app on my phone. Then I tried to sync by Wi-Fi. I still can't see the file on my Families app. I don't consider myself an idiot when it comes to technology. Better instructions are needed to walk people through the process. It is not intuitive nor user-friendly.

After software update yesterday, Families app would not open, goes to blank screen. Tried to reinstall app, lost 4 other Families files that were large. Only file left is sample Kennedy file! This problem has occurred multiple times!!! 3/16/2022 Tried to use app today. All data files lost. Sometimes getting message "App will be put to sleep as it is unused" even though it is used frequently! Why does this system software put apps to sleep and how do you block this and get app to open again?
