WL#467 - Currently the No 1 wish, but don't let that stop you voting for it.

There have been many discussions on this both here and and on the Rootsweb mailing list regarding various portable devices. See also https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... pX2c#gid=0 if you fancy looking a a colourful spreadsheet!

iPads are not Windows computers, programs have to specifically written to run on them, so a version of FH to run on an iPad would need to be written from scratch.

You can of course easily use your Family Historian Gedcom on them and there are a selection of existing programs which will allow you to do so, just search here for a selection.
