Forebears

4Bears is a genealogy app that has the power to effortlessly handle huge family history databases (tested on 15,000 members and 5,000 families). Unlike old-school family-tree layouts that stretch endlessly across multiple screens, 4Bears has a unique graphic navigation tool to move around and across the generations by tap gestures. We call it the 'Wonder Wheel' because that's what it is! Best of all, 4Bears has been designed as a standalone family history archive that's with you all the time and can be easily updated whilst you're on the go.
