Thanks. I also have the G2 (T-Mobile), so that is good to know. I’m going to have to download it. Just to handy not too. Especially for $15.

I don't regret the $15 that I paid for it. I do find it useful enough. You are correct in that making data changes can be a little difficult on a phone screen. Of course that isn't so much an Android issues as it is a device issue. If you have an iPhone you will have a small screen too (relative to an iPad). Of course there are Android based tablets with screen sizes similar to the iPad so history is starting to repeat itself and people are starting to consider "Apple vs. Android" (vs. Apple vs. MS-DOS) So, hardware/software platform aside, I do use Families primarily as a portable reference tool rather than a data entry tool. Screen size is not the issue for me but rather I decided early on that I wanted to use Legacy as a single point of entry for all data rather than try to regularly sync back and forth between various applications. So, if I'm at a genealogy library somewhere, I use Families to keep all the pertinent information close at hand to assist me with my research and then I key it in later directly to Legacy. That's what works for me but I'm sure others are happily making data changes on their Android phone or Tablet and successfully synching them back to Legacy. As a beta tester, I did test that functionality and it worked fine. Incidentally, I originally was testing on the HTC/G1 which was the first Android phone on the market and it worked will there. Even better when I finally upgraded my phone.

I’m thinking it would mostly be useful for viewing at that screen size.
