If it didn’t crash so much. – MobileFamilyTree 8 Review

Just bought this app this morning. So this may be a bit premature, but I am simply frustrated. I spent the money on this app and I don’t usually do that. So here goes. Upon seeing this app for the first time and adding a bit here and there, the first problem I ran into was it’s location/mapping addition. It took me forever to figure out that “Place” meant “As general a place as you can imagine”. I was putting in addresses and all it wants is the actual city. I can’t put in the address, but I can put in that it happens in St. Louis City, County of St. Louis, State of Missouri, country United States. If you were planning on plotting actual locations on that map site, like a church, home, or hospital; good luck! The location/mapping addition doesn’t do that. That was a feature that I was really looking forward to, so that brought it down to 4 stars right away. I decided to start entering pictures... this is what brought it down to a 2 star rating. It crashes a good 60-75% of the time I try to add pictures. It seems the first loads up ok, but when you try to add a second one, CRASH!!! Again... and again.... and again. If both of these were fixed, the app would be well worth the money, but right now it’s suspect. If I had to do it again, I would look for another. Who just wants to look at dates? If you can’t add pictures and the mapping function is so limiting, you’re just buying a place to store dates.
