I like this app very much. Edits made on the phone are uploaded to Ancestry. I didn't mention it when this question was first asked because the person asking didn't want to upload any data to Ancestry.

It takes forever to load my tree - I just tested it with my new tree, uploaded to Ancestry.com last week. Almost a half hour to download 9200 people, then another almost hour of "processing" before it's ready to use. I'm not sure if that's "normal", or just my tree. (I just tested with a much smaller tree (273 people), and the loading and processing zipped along.) The nice thing is the app syncs with your online tree when you open it. I never update my tree on Ancestry.com - I work in FTM and upload a brand-new tree periodically - but I can see how, for someone who does work directly in an online tree, that would be an excellent feature. Once it's loaded, the app's got a pretty cool user interface, easy to navigate, with sources available at a tap of your finger.
