Description

I’ve been using FamilySearch Tree for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you build out your family tree and explore your family history. Pretty solid if you’re into genealogy and that sort of thing.

Here’s what you can do – you can add your own info to the tree, like names, birth dates, photos, and stories. Then FamilySearch will actually start searching through historical records to find your other family members and connect them to your tree. And there’s also cool features where you can share info with other family members and make sure everyone has the right facts.

Look, if you’re into learning about your family roots, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a little confusing at first and there’s some annoying ads. But overall it’s a pretty useful tool for building out your family tree. Worth checking out if that’s your kind of thing.

Editor Opinion

So here's my take on FamilySearch Tree - I've tested a bunch of genealogy apps and this one's definitely one of the better ones. The big advantage is how it taps into a huge crowdsourced database to help you discover new family branches. The interface is pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it. And I like how you can easily add photos, stories, and other records to really flesh out your family history. The downside is it can be a bit overwhelming at first, and the constant ads get old if you don't pay. But overall, if you're serious about tracing your family tree, this is a solid app to check out.

Unstable and frustrating. Won't load most of the time. No longer syncs w/website. Terrible for editing and research. For merge or detach, half the time, buttons are below the phone...
