Marilyn, as Leon pointed out Families works on the iPad, iPhone plus the iPod touch. I use it on the iPad and for doing research away from my home PC, it provides you with the ability to add/change/revise information in the field. It also provides all the information in your PC database, such as pictures/events/notes/sources, plus all the normal family information you have entered.
You can also add any new information you find during your research, including photo's/scan's etc., that you have available on the device. This app was written for Legacy, so anyone using Legacy will have no problem's interfacing with Families. It's a 5-Star app for Legacy users. Dwain C.
