Larry, I’m running Families version 3.3.0 on an iPhone Xs. Works like a charm 
and has always functioned well. I was a beta tester for Telgen several years 
ago when Families was new. I find it very useful and enjoyable still. I’m 
running the latest version of Legacy Family Tree on Windows 10 Pro.
