I use GedView on the iPhone. It is nice to have my family tree with me without lugging my binder.

I have watched my VERY enthusiastic brother with his and heard the constant response to any and all questions...."I have an app for that!" But a genealogy app....now you're talkin! You may have just sold me on this new toy....lol

Joan, that is a nice list of apps. The same as you, I do NOT use Apple computer, so several of the apps are not for us. I believe that Shrubs has a new app in the works, for those that like the sound of it. I also like that I can have more than one data base on GedView, VERY useful. For what I paid for GedView, I am delighted.

Very nice overview of GedView, Carol. I've tried both Shrubs and GedView and definitely prefer the latter. Another nice thing I like about GedView is that you can import more than one gedcom. I have my uncle's databases of several side branches I like to reference too. There is a list of all the genealogy apps I found for iPhone on my webpage.

I have discovered that my to do list did not transfer, and then discovered I did not have it turned on to transfer in the GEDCOM. Tomorrow I will try that and see what happens. In the meantime I am looking at Text reader apps for the iPod and have downloaded one. Again, tomorrow I'll have a in depth lookie see. But, I already know I can send my to do list to a PDF or Txt file and then read it with the text reader. Might actually prefer it that way. Are we having fun yet??

Don't be afraid Karen, you can always remove any app you don't like. Course I hate paying for something that I end up ditching, so I can understand being cautious.

Thanks for pioneering this app, Carol! I got my iPod a few months ago, and lacked the courage to take the plunge with a genealogy app. It would be tremendously convenient to have data on such a transportable little gem like the iPod, especially at the library.
