[LegacyUG] Legacy on Ipad, how is it?

I am thinking of getting an Ipad. Ancestry told me that they have an app, you can view your family tree, but you can't do much searching. I know Legacy has an app, does anyone use it for the Ipad, are there any restrictions? Legacy User Group guidelines:

I do not believe in paying an excessive price for an ipad, so my tablet is an Android - which I am typing this on - saved me lots of money! For Legacy there is the TelGen app which I use on my Android set up, and it is great. It is basically the same in use as the ipad version. I would

Hi MJ, I run the Families app on an iPad 2 and enjoy using it very much. I served as a beta for the app on iPhone and iPad and can vouch for the intelligent and responsive attitude of TelGen. The Families will allow you to work on your family tree on the iPad, or on an Android-based tablet.
