Good to know - here in Chester co you can't take a camera in and Moore Co NC doesn't allow cameras or camera phones. So it seems just as likely to allow as not allow.

Re: [LegacyUG] Families iPhnoe app
Thankyou John for your wonderful explanation. I feel this is the right program for me. I was just wondering how I 'update to the legacy database to reflect all of my changes made' I am using a mac with parallels and use Legacy family tree latest version. I do not expect Families to be the same as Legacy but am I right in saying it is like a holding/viewing program, and from there I need to use 'Families Sync free program' to upload my data to the ipad. It seems to me I have to upload to Families, and then to the sync program? to view it on my ipad. Appreciate your time with this, before I go ahead an buy it at $19 for the ipad. What a clever invention. Regards Gwen > On 11/05/2011, at 8:03 AM, hwedhlor wrote: > Gwen, > > I am running the Families app on both an iPhone 3Gs and an > iPad 2, and I heartily recommend it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Families iPhnoe app
Gwen, I am running the Families app on both an iPhone 3Gs and an iPad 2, and I heartily recommend it. I was a beta for the Families app when it was only available to run on the iPhone. Running it on the iPad 2 offers an even better display, and easier access to features due to the larger visual format. Please do not think of Families as a "version" of Legacy Family Tree. Families was developed by an entirely different company, to run under a completely different operating system on totally different hardware than Legacy. Having worked in the computer industry since 1965 I understand that duplicating program features across hardware and operating system boundaries is not a simple process. The task is a bit like being asked to copy the Queen Mary, but as a submarine, using plans written in a language you don't speak or read. Passengers from the Queen Mary want visit the bottom of the ocean in your submarine, but they expect the same amenities they were used to enjoying on the Queen Mary! Rather than concentrate on which Legacy features are "missing" from the Families app, I celebrate the fact that I can now do field research, and document findings, without having to carry a laptop. Navigating through my Legacy databases with Families is done on a familiar user interface, while the iPhone and iPad 2 allow me to photograph documents found in the field. Although Families will probably never duplicate the enormous feature list of Legacy, Families does offer the user the option to make fundamental data entries on the portable Apple devices they choose to carry, then to update their Legacy database to reflect all of those entries. The creators of the Families app have proven to be very supportive of their user base, and I look for them to add features over time. If you are a Legacy user, and own an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, you will find no better genealogy software than the Families app for use on your Apple device.

RE: [LegacyUG] Families iPhnoe app
Gwen: You don't actually create a GEDCOM from your Legacy database; rather, there's a (free) Families Sync program that goes on your desktop computer and handles the transfer of data to and from your mobile device. And yes, you can edit the data on your iPad but I don't find editing very convenient because the small fields don't "unpinch" the way some sites or apps will, so extensive editing would be (for me) fairly clumsy. Also, the Families version doesn't have all of the features of Legacy on the PC. I'd love to clean up my Locations list using the iPad, for example, but there's no "Show List" option at the Master Location List and I'm hesitant to edit without knowing exactly who I'm changing. There are a few more of my favorite Legacy features missing as well. Families doesn't look or operate *exactly* like Legacy on the PC but I still think it's a dandy little app and well worth the $15 even if you just want to carry the data with you for reference as I do.

RE: [LegacyUG] Families iPhnoe app
Joshua: I have Families for iPad and believe it's much the same as the app for iPhone. I love the convenience of always having my Legacy data with me but I find the fields too small to do much in the way of editing (which was my initial objective). My favorite aspect is being able to surf genealogical sites from anywhere in spare minutes and quickly check my Legacy file to see if "hits" have any bearing on my research. Rather than update via Families and re-import to my PC I usually e-mail the data to myself and update only the on the PC. I certainly don't regret spending the $15 for the app. Kirsten -Original Message- From: Joshua Crump [mailto:j...@joshuacrump.com] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2011 7:42 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Families iPhnoe app Legacy User Group, I am trying to decide if I want to buy the Families iPhone app and I wanted to know if anyone in the group is using it and if it is worth the $15 they want for it.

RE: [LegacyUG] Families iPhnoe app
Hi Joshua
I have the families app - with 402,020 names in the database {all the one tree}
Brilliant - but a little slow to load up - no doubt due to the size of the file
Also my iphone is the earlier model and only the smallest memory - but that
seems to be no hindrance
I can't believe how small the file becomes on the iphone - amazing
All the photos and notes etc are all there
Each time I backup Legacy - I also do the same for the families app - by
deleting and reinstalling on the iphone - I think that can be achieved by
updating - but my way is fine for me

Legacy User Group,
I am trying to decide if I want to buy the Families iPhone app and I wanted to
know if anyone in the group is using it and if it is worth the
$15 they want for it.
Thanks,

Re: [LegacyUG] Families iPhnoe app
I use it on the android. As a reference app its fine. I only send from legacy to families though and don't try to make any edits within families. When at the library or when I just need to look up something, its a great app and better that the others I have tried.
