To quote Memphis Beat when Dwight broke in a house by breaking a window with an Iphone: “Hold on, I got an app for that.”

And I do too. It’s called a Notebook [paper] and Pencil. Never goes dead at a bad time and costs me 99 cents [hey I buy the notebook on sale and the mechanical pencils in bulk] If I really must do electronics, I carry the Netbook.

I don’t plan to respond to each blog comment personally in the future, but I thought I’d give some specific responses this time.

@Jean – this version of the application only shows hints for Ancestry records, not matches in other family trees – that might be why you’re not seeing them show up in the app. I’ve also passed your feedback on to the development team.

@Richard – we anticipate that the Android app will work on the Nook.

@Mitch – we constantly monitor the mobile landscape to see which devices and operating systems we should support. Windows Phone is something that we consider from time to time, but have not yet decided to tackle.

@Randy – thanks, I’ve passed this on to the development team.

@Ron – thanks!

I ABSOLUTELY love this app. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the fact you folks have written such a polished program for the iPAD/iPhone. It is a huge selling point for the website and FTM. At the moment, I have nothing else to ask for. It is that good! I have something to take with me now whenI go to reunions and us older people can see. Again, my sincerest thanks!

To expand on the bug… I was trying to access hints on my moms ancestors. The hint would not come up after waiting minutes. The oldest ancestor of my dad’s side is the home person. I changed the home person to the oldest ancestor on my moms side and the hints open right up for everyone on my moms side now.

When you add the app for Android, don’t forget those of us who use the B&N Nook Color. Although it is Android based you can only download approved apps from B&N. So, please try and get the Android app approved.

I have the iPhone version 3.0.1 (build 922).I see my tree descriptions and privacy settings, but no shaky leaves, even though I see some on the web version. How are they accessed? There is no Help function in the app.
