GedStar Pro for Android
GedStar Pro is an Android app that lets you view all of your genealogy data in detail on your Android smartphone or tablet. A companion Windows program is used to extract and convert the data that is stored in a genealogy program on your PC. The resulting file is then transferred to your device for easy and convenient viewing.
The app runs on any Google-approved device that uses Android version 2 through the latest version 4 (Jelly Bean).

Easy to Use
GedStar Pro is a two-part application consisting of a Windows application that is used to convert your data from the genealogy program that you use on your PC, and the Android application that is used to view the data on your handheld device. The steps to viewing your family tree on your smartphone are simply as follows:
- Run GedStar Pro on your PC to convert from your genealogy program or GEDCOM file.
- Copy the converted database to the file storage on your device using a USB cable, or use the third-party Dropbox service to transfer it wirelessly through the cloud.
- Run GedStar Pro on your Android device to view all your data!
Unique Advantages
Although you can not edit data on your Android device, we think that GedStar Pro has many other features that are unmatched by competing products, including:
- Direct import of data from The Master Genealogist and Legacy Family Tree.
- Import of GEDCOM files to support all other genealogy programs.
- Display of photos (including those linked from GEDCOM files).
- No known limitations on the amount of data that can be handled.
- Selectable options on what data to include.
- Support for your To-Do List or Research Log (Legacy and Master Genealogist only).
- Several ways to navigate from person to person (and back!).

We have plans to continue to add features and will provide free updates of the applications to all registered users for the foreseeable future.
