KinTerm

Going home for the holidays, a wedding banquet, a family gathering — and you can't remember what to call that relative.

KinTerm starts from you. Tap through Father, Mother, Older Sister, Cousin... and it shows the correct Chinese kinship term right away. It also keeps your family tree, birthdays and anniversaries, a Chinese almanac, greetings and a red envelope log in one place.

■ Free

Up to five levels of relatives, with the terms commonly used in Taiwan.
