My I phone doesn't need an app I just go onto the Internet and type in genes reunited and it connects . Get ancestry and find my past the same way too

They don't actually have an app ......I got one on my iPad by fluke....Go to Genes home page then, making sure you are on Safari, click on the drop down box that has in it 'save to homepage'.......then you will have the app......this works for a few sites but not most.

The add to Home Screen is on Safari.

Go to Genes.....then look at the top of Safari and you will see a box with an arrow. Press on that and it will give you a few options for saving the page...choose the one that says.....Save to home screen.....it should be next to the picture of Glasses that says Add to reading list
