What am I missing? I downloaded the app, I signed into the app with my ancestry login info….a few times now. Doesn’t this sync up with my trees on my ancestry.com account? They’re not showing up. Only the sample tree and “add new tree”. Help me please.

Hi Kendall,
I just downloaded the app to my android and I like the way it looks a lot! This makes it very convenient to travel with and show family who’s who. HOWEVER, I have need some help. When I travel back through my ancestors using the tree, everything is fine, BUT when I “turn around” (so to speak) and travel down through the tree, it doesn’t go to my direct ancestor, but instead defaults to the eldest sibling in the tree. HELP – how can I “mark” which person to follow coming down? Thanks.

Having access to the source documents while on the move is a real plus. I am still frustrated with the lack of visibility on the Public Member Trees and on this Android app of my note fields. This is why I keep a current copy of my tree on RootsWeb also.

@Ed – Thanks for your interest in the Ancestry.com app for Android. Our app is currently available for the many Android devices that can access the Android Market, but your Pandigital eReader most likely doesn’t have Android Market access. Luckily, the Ancestry.com app is also available on the Amazon Appstore for Android – Please try downloading the app from this market and see if it works. Also note that the Ancesty.com Android app will soon be available from the Barnes & Noble NOOK Apps store, pending app approval. If your device is not able to access any of these markets, please contact us at ancestry_mobile_support@ancestry.com

@Mark – The Ancestry.com Android app is designed to regularly synch with your tree on the Ancestry.com website. This ensures that the data in your tree is consistent between platforms and is always up-to-date. It is currently not possible to turn off the synch feature, and because keeping tree information consistent is critical, we don’t have any near-term plans to add such a feature, but we’ll give it consideration as we evaluate future features. As a workaround, you may consider the following: launch the Ancestry.com app, load the tree you are interested in, put your phone in airplane mode, and use the app as a “read only” type experience. While several key features are not functional, at least you can browse your tree and look up people’s information.

Finally, deleting trees is a feature we know is important and it is on our near-term plans. Thanks so much for your feedback and support!

I tried to download the android app for a Pandigital Android tablet & ereader, but it only wants to download to an android phone, which I don’t have. can I still get it?
