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 5.0 through at least version 10 (current at the time of this posting).
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
For various technical reasons, there will be no further development on the GedStar Pro products. However, the current versions will remain available as long as they continue to work on both the Windows and Android platforms.
Thank you for your support over the years on our journey from Palm Pilots to the latest Android devices!

Easy to Use
GedStar Pro is a two-part product 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 or Google Drive service to transfer it wirelessly through the cloud.
- Run GedStar Pro on your Android device to view all your data!
