Hello. I have browsed past posts regarding Android users and don’t see what I’m looking for. I’m in the US and do not see any app or downloads for RM anywhere. The solutions I have read seem to involve a lot of gymnastics or privacy compromises. Are there any plans for RM to appear in the Google Play Store for Android users? Please please make this available to us. Thank you. ---

The RM App for Android has been retired. We have no details on when or if it will be replaced. The RM App for iOS is still available. ---

MyRootsMagic might work for what you need. Or you could also use RM to build and HTML Site form RM and store files either local or in cloud (or host site) ---

So, does this mean that you can download the iPad app and link it to your tree on Windows? If so, how would I do this please. Thanks for any help you can give. I too would prefer it all to be on Android. ---

Not quite! You can’t link anything. You will need to load a copy of your file on to your device and use it as a standalone. You can not change/edit the file on your device. It is a view only. If you make changes to your file on your computer, then you will need to reload the file on your Apple device if you want an updated copy on said device. ---

One option / work around. The are GEDCOM tools such as GEDSTAR that can display GEDCOM on android devices
