Amy Archibald said: The fan chart, via the FamilySearch Family Tree app, on an Android phone can be extended to 7 generations currently. If you select the Options icon, the top part is defaulted to 4 Generations with a drop down arrow to the right. Select the arrow and you can extend up to 7 generation.0

Jordi Kloosterboer said: I think it would also be nice to have at least 7 generations for dependency (to click once). Right now we only have 4, then we have to click on each arrow to go further down.0

There are better fan charting solutions, but associated with other applications. I briefly explored Ancestral Quest's charting solutions (which I use but have no other connection to the product or the company) and found there is a charting companion that offers some interesting solutions. You may want to explore these if you must have larger charts, perhaps printed on larger stock.0
