I use it just like Diane only for looking up information while I’m on the go and don’t use it to update my database. But it works really well for me with my the most recent update of Families and Legacy 9. Although my database is way not as large as other peoples, only ca 12,000 individuals and 140 MB of media. I find in invaluable. And if you pitched it thru your same Apple account to are using now you should have no problems reinstalling it, even if you have a new device. Hope this helps you for your decision.
