As such, MobileFamilyTree is not a suitable solution for Windows or Linux owners or even for Macintosh owners who use a genealogy program other than MacFamilyTree. The program only reads databases created by Synium’s MacFamilyTree program, available for Macintosh systems. Even if you plan on installing it on multiple devices, you don’t have to buy multiple licenses. Running it on the iPhone or iPod Touch gives you a display designed fr the smaller screen. If you use it on your iPad, you get the best possible user experience because of the large screen. It automatically adjusts screen resolution to the device it’s launched on. * MobileFamilyTree by Synium Software is an iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch program designed for use on all three systems: iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Reunion for iPad is available for US$14.99 from the App Store. Those changes will later be added to the Reunion database on the Macintosh.You can learn more in an online video at or read my earlier review at You can add people, document new information, add pictures, and make corrections to your data on the iPad.

All of them can be downloaded and installed within seconds from the iPhone App Store. If you own an iPad, iPhone or an iPod Touch, wouldn’t you like to carry your genealogy database with you? Not only can you do that, but you even have many different genealogy programs to choose from. I was part way through my own blog on the various genealogy apps available for the iPhone, iPod and iPad, when Dick’s post on this topic made it’s way to my inbox.Īs his is far more comprehensive than I could ever so, I’ve decided to go with it!! So, thank you Dick for taking the time to not only review each App, but write about them too.
