What's new in MobileFamilyTree 10

MobileFamilyTree 10 is by far the largest update we've ever released for our popular genealogy software. Version 10 comes with a huge number of new features and improvements, almost every section of the app was either re-developed or hugely improved.

New: Edit Section

  • Separate edit and display mode: In display mode, only forms with information present will be displayed. In edit mode, all forms are shown
