Jo Fitz-Henry (ID: 000000149b3736af) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/27/2022 This is such a good app. This is what WikiTree needs to add as standard, to convert those horrible GEDCOM imports into something readable from the get go. I use this a lot when I come across a profile which needs a clean-up. Nice one Rob!

Jutta Beer (ID: 000000469a1363df) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/04/2021 This is a really excellent tool for cleaning up those messy GEDCOMS. It saves so much time and if you don't like what you see it is easily reversible. The notes for things to check is really helpful too.

Elizabeth Viney (ID: 0000004b8717b3c2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/07/2020 Excellent tool for quickly cleaning up GEDCOM added profiles. One click and everything is so much clearer! Arranges facts into a basic chronological biography; checks for sources and adds a note if there are any contradictions that need to be researched further.
