About this app

GEDexplorer is a browser for genealogy data contained in GEDCOM files. Using GEDexplorer you can keep your family history data with you at all times, in your phone or in your tablet. With GEDexplorer there's no recurring fee, no need to share your data with others and no need to stay connected to the internet.

Please note that GEDexplorer can not (yet) edit genealogy data - it can only visualize genealogy information that you have already collected.

Features:

* A compact yet detailed biographical view
* A scrollable and zoomable tree view for showing a person's ancestors and/or descendants
* A circular view for showing a person's ancestors
* Split screen mode (useful for tablets and high density phones)
* Shows images for persons, events and places
* Shows maps for places (if they have coordinates)
* Supports links to web pages
* Supports notes written in HTML
* Supports GEDCOM 5.5, 5.5.1 and 5.5EL files in a variety of character encodings
* Fast and memory efficient (for instance, it can load a 25 MB GEDCOM file containing 100000 persons on a Samsung Galaxy S III)
* Selectable languages: English, French, German and Swedish
* Supports Samsung Multi Window (available on many Samsung devices)

It just works. I came from the RootsMagic app which never worked properly on either of my last two phones. This program just does what it claims and so far does it well. It's a read only app which is fine. I keep my full tree on my computer but occasionally need a quick look when responding to email.

Looks neat but fails to show images unless I manually create a .zip file from the Gedcom and all my media (as per GEDexplorer Help). My desktop software (Family Historian) can create a Gedcom with embedded media files but GEDexplorer apparently cannot read it. My old app, GedStar Pro - not updated since 2018! - can show the images just fine. Very disappointing.

Can't access any of the views (tree view, etc.) Need to search for an individual and then select them. Then the tree icon appears. Help menu needs to be amended. Great response fron developer, though.
