Does anyone use the GEDFamilies app? Am interested in downloading it to my iPad but was wondering how well it works. I understand that you download/upload using GEDCOM's through the GEDFamilies sync but how well does it do it? Does any data get misplaced etc? What about media? Any help would be appreciated.

See the how_to:family_historian_on_imac_ipad_android_etc|> Family Historian on Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, etc which links to fhugdownloads:contents:utility_gedfamilies|> Utility ~ GedFamilies and then to GedFamilies where it links to User Forum and under iPhone Problems & Troubleshooting there is an entry for Family Historian.

If you enter GEDFamilies into the Search at the top of this FHUG page it will list several past threads on the topic, suc as:
iPad Apps comparisons? (11025)
App for Android-based Tablet (11428)
Call to iPad Users (10747)

You may also find the Export Gedcom File Plugin necessary to create the best GEDCOM format for transfer via GedFamilies Sync.

Many thanks, Mike, will definitely look those links up. Going away next week and would like to take my 'tree' with me.
