Latest reviews of Build Your Family Tree app for iPhone and iPad
Ive used this app for a while to help do research on my family while on the road. It works well, but needs some additional features. For example, a way to save the information onto a computer would be helpful. My iTouch crashed at one point and all the information in My Roots did not reappear after I restored the iTouch. There ought to be a backup feature via iTune IMO.
Its a little hard to figure out but its great when get it going!
Dont waste your money.
