Genealogical Research Assistant doesn't appear to have a help file, and I found it rather confusing in how to import files or create a file if that is possible, while on the tablet. I was interested in it as I thought after reading its description that I would be able to create a small database on the tablet using this program, then transfer it by keyboard to my Computer however I cannot see how I can start a small database on the tablet. It's a very new program and appears to me to require a lot of work, as I have purchased it I will wait for help files and further information to see if it will satisfy my requirements. I found its biggest problem is there is nothing on the Internet about the program or the software company that produced it.

The layout is good and the various screens follow a fairly standard family history approach, however - in the current release there doesn't appear to be any help files. I can't figure out how to import a GedCom file, essential for any genealogy program, I'm not going to manually enter 500 names and information when I have all the data in a GedCom. Only giving it 3 stars until these improvements are added. Feedback and assistance from the author was first class, all my queries were dealt with promptly. I will give to app 4 stars now.
