This app was so wonderful for teaching children about their family history. Will it ever be reinstated even under another title?

    Short Answer: Unfortunately, I suggest NOT.

    I just has a look at the current HOME page/screen for the "Little Family Tree" programme ...

    Thank you to all of our fans who have shown so much support for Little Family Tree over the last few years!!

    Unfortunately, in 2019, FamilySearch required 3rd party apps to pay a fee for API access. We understand their decision, but this left us with the difficult decision to pay the fee or discontinue the app.

    After careful consideration, and with sad hearts, we have decided not to continue offering the Little Family tree App.

    This also means that your current installation of the Little Famly Tree app will no longer be able to login or access your FamilySearch account. We will offer refunds for anyone who recently purchased the premium upgrade according to your device's app store policies.

    We still strongly believe that children should be engaged in their personal family history, and hope you will continue to teach your children who they are and where they came from.

    Sincerely,

    --John Finlay

    The "Little Family Tree" programme was NOT part of 'FamilySearch'.

    The "Little Family Tree" programme appears to have been one of many "Third Party" Application that WAS "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; but, due to the significant change to the "Application Programming Interface" (API) of 'FamilySearch', back in 2019, DID NOT, find it viable to continue.

    There were a number of "Third Party" Applications that had problems/issues, with the change to the API of 'FamilySearch'; and, did not continue.

    I know that this does not help; but, I just thought that you should be made aware.
