I used GedStar Pro on my Palm with another genealogy program for many years. It's an excellent program.
Now I have an iPod and an iPad. I use Legacy so I use Families. I tried several programs including FamViewer and GedViewer on the iPad. GedViewer, to my mind, is better than FamViewer. Quite a bit cheaper too. I think it depends on what you want. Look at the features. Do you want to enter data and have it transfer back to your program? Not all do that. Are you okay with making a new GEDcom and transferring that? Is it critical to you to have pictures and assorted other items or do you just want the basic data at your fingertips? What is the most important thing for you? I don't care much for the apps on the iPod. Might be age but the screen is too small. In 2001 it was a wow moment when I pulled up my data on my Palm at the Clerk's office. Now I assume it is pretty mundane.
