Have you tried searching online?

A quick search brought up these. I haven't used any of them, so can't comment on how good they are:

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Yes but was looking for a recommendation specially if I have to buy an app would like to know if anyone has experienced any good ones!

Why an app?

It hardly seems a practical way of storing one's family tree

I think you would be better with a family tree programme for your computer rather than an app. I use FamilyTreeMaker which you have to buy (mine is an old version from 2005 which is good enough for what I need) but there are more up to date versions. It's very easy to use and will store all the information you are likely to find.
