Wonderful on my Droid 10″ tablet

Does anyone know if it will work on the Nook Tablet and Kindle Fire?

Works wonderfully on my Droid X.

Bscrapbook – you’ll need to communicate with the developer of Families, Malcolm Green. His website is at http://www.telgen.co.uk/families/

Installed Families 1.0 on Droid 2 earlier this week. Uploaded my data. The program crashes each time I try to open my data but works with the sample data. How do I get it to work?

Installed Families 1.0 on Droid X Feb 20th. No problems and running great.

Brian – yes, Families works for the iPod Touch as well. Go to the Mobile Devices section in our online store at http://www.legacyfamilytreestore.com

“I have this on my iPad and itouch, I really like it.”
I have an iPod touch, and would really like to be able to carry a version of my Legacy files. In the library, cemetery, or even at church talking to people, I have to memorize information – it would be great to just whip out my iPod to look up and add to someone’s family.
Is this available, or something that the company is working on?

I have this on my iPad and itouch, I really like it.
Now I am really glad I kept my Droid X instead of jumping ship to get the iphone 4 on verizon. The lack of a good genealogy program was one of my main whines about the Droid. Now I am glad I stuck with the Droid. Of course I hate to pay for another program but…….

Tami – yes.

This could be very useful on one of the new Android tablets coming out

Wow – thats wondereful! Once you’ve edited the files on your phone, can you transfer the changes or the new file back to your PC?
