Julia: I use Families on a 10" iPad and find it perfectly legible and pretty easy to navigate although I surely do wish it worked with the iPad's "un-pinch" feature to enlarge areas of the screen. (My hands are fairly unsteady and I often tap the wrong field.) I love the portability aspect of the program but use it exclusively for reference rather than data entry. Actually, I think that entering data on-site is probably not the best use of research time so I photocopy, photograph, etc., and do the data entry on my computer at home.

I'm so glad I attended yesterday's seminar on the Families app for Legacy. I can hardly wait to get it, but first I need the hardware. I have been one of the holdouts--I don't have a smartphone or tablet or anything mobile like that. Have been thinking that it's time and so I"m ready to jump in! My question to you Families app users: do you find it a hindrance while you're "out in the field" doing some research looking at a smaller screen of your Legacy file (in comparison to lugging a laptop around)? I'm considering the 7- or 10-inch tablet as I don't think I could maneuver on such a small screen as a smartphone. Your comments are appreciated.
