Hello BK List members- First, it is great to see this list so active. Even last spring and summer, when most genealogy lists go dormant, the BK list continued to have active postings. I have read a couple of posts recently that refer to members having their BK information on their smart phones and or tables (i.e. iPad specifically). I am curious to know what programs are being used, and how the users would rate their ease and ability to get information into the devices. I have both an iPhone and iPad, and recently it would have been very helpful had I been able to have my BK information available. So what do you techno geeky fellow genealogists have to say? What are your best third party app(lication)s in use today? Thanks.

I use "Famviewer" and "Ancestry" on my iPad, but use these as display and view only applications since data entry on the iPad is too cumbersome. "Famviewer" is loaded with data through a gedcom file. "Ancestry" links to a gedcom file or to an ancestry.com account to load data.

I have GedView on my iPhone which I use ONLY as a viewer whilst out and about.
