I have both on my Motorola Atrix and my Kindle Fire. I like Families on the KF better for main reason that GedStar Pro has a light blue background and I find it hard to read due to my vision difficulties. The blue background seems more pronounced on the Kindle than on the smaller screen of the Atrix.
I had GedStar Pro on my Palm PDA years ago, which is probably why I wrote that I preferred that one -I was very comfortable with that format, Families 1.0 works only with Legacy files and will allow you to edit and transfer back to Legacy. I haven't done that yet. GedStar will convert several genealogy file types (FDB, FTM, PAF, GED, etc) and is read only.
