User Reviews

Users broadly praise Family Gem as easy to use, offline-capable, and feature-rich for building family trees with comprehensive content. However, repeated complaints center on instability—crashes and glitches on newer Android versions and with larger trees—plus occasional data loss and storage issues. Several want more data-management features: ability to export data, rearrange nodes, and more relationship types; current UI sometimes hides marriages and other relations. Performance can degrade with large datasets. Overall, a strong genealogy app but stability and feature gaps hinder real-world use.
Pros
  • Easy to use and intuitive
  • Comprehensive content for genealogy
  • Works offline/offline-capable
  • Solid GEDCOM/family-tree management app
  • Free option offers good value
Cons
  • Crashes/glitches on newer Android versions and with large trees
  • Risk of data loss or storage issues (photos disappearing, zip downloads)
  • Limited data export and editing features (no export data; hard to rearrange nodes; limited relationship types)
  • Performance issues with large trees (slow search, diagrams not displayed well)
  • Inconsistent UI/UX and feature placement (marriage details buried; location popups sometimes fail)

Really useful app for builing your family tree. I tried using Gramps on my computer to build my family tree but it's just so complicated and difficult to use. I imported gedcoms into Family Gem from wikitree and it's so easy to use. I just import the Gedcom file and can view everything in a tree, it's easy to edit and add things. Great app!

This app is amazing! After figuring out to add all partners before any children it was so fast and easy! There are so many cool features with a great help guide! I wish there were more list sorting options like living first or by first name and an option to link first cousins and grandparents.

Interface and app overall is good but can't display more than 1 partners which actually sucks. So 3 stars at best.
