Super easy

Just purchased this app and can't believe how easy it was to get my data uploaded. Very intuitive. The interface is great - simple to navigate and find what I want. Also love that it will display a fajita group sheet.
Capable and compatible

I researched many genealogy apps, but this was the only one I could find that not only read .ged files, but allowed editing and wireless syncing. I use Personal Ancestral File on my PC, so I needed something that wasn't a "front end" to a specific program or tied to a website. This fits the bill and handles a 16+ MB .ged file with 500MB of multimedia attachments with no probs. I was disappointed at first because I thought the app wouldn't accept marriage events, but I wrote the developer - who replied in less than a day - and he pointed out that the functionality was on the family page. My first app review, but I felt compelled to submit it. Highly recommended.
Works Great

Works great with Reunion 9 for Mac. Doesn't import photos, or have fancy interface but the program works great.
Great genealogy app

I want to refute the low scores that some customers have given. I have been using this app for almost a year and it has worked very well. I am running it on a 2nd Gen iPod Touch. I have been doing genealogy research for about 45 years and it is a real help for me to have a mobile capability like this. I keep my primary databases on Personal Ancestry File (PAF) and the GEDCOM files that it generates are opened correctly by this app. I am pleased, and the price is great. I wrote directly to the developer with a suggestion for an enhancement regarding display of GEDCOM Sources and was pleasantly surprised when he responded with thanks the next day. I give it five stars for functional value for the price.
Take your ancestral history wherever you go

For many years I have been maintaining family trees using Generations Deluxe 6 Windows software. Initially, I used MyRoots to keep the information on my Palm, but after migrating to an iPOD Touch and iPAD, found this app. It's very easy to use. Just export a GEDCOM file (mine is GEDCOM 5.5) and transfer to device over WiFi - no iTunes is required. Multiple Family Trees can be imported into app - just use a unique name for each separate tree. GED files can be reimported into app and will overwrite existing file. There is an extensive User Guide on the website. Great app.
Worthless

Does not upload GEDCOM files in any of the various ways that it says it does. And there is no technical support. And there are no refunds. Don't make the same mistake I did by purchasing it. Now, a couple of weeks later and win some update from the author, it WORKS! It is great! Thanks David.
