Traces of the Past Version 1.1.1 for iPhone

The first release of Traces of the Past was released about three months ago and has been a popular download in the App Store in iTunes. You can read my earlier review of the genealogy program for the iPhone and iPod Touch at http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/05/traces-of-the-past-for-iphone.html. Now the producers of the program at Truscape Solutions, Inc. have released a new update.

Traces of the Past Version 1.1.1 includes a number of requested enhancements that help to increase productivity and improve record management:

• Added ability to browse the list of collections in the FamilySearch archive, view additional information about each collection, and search for records within a specific collection.
• Added ability to post to Facebook information about records that you find.
• Added ability to filter records by ancestor name in your Folder and in Recents.
• Added ability to delete records from your Recents list.
• Added a record count to the Folder tab.
• Added iOS 4 multitasking support.
• Added high-resolution images for iPhone 4.
• iPhone 4 users can now view record images in double the resolution.
• Significant stability improvements.
• Resolved an issue in version 1.1 that caused the app to crash when run under iOS 3.1.3 and earlier.
• Improved memory management.

Truscape Solutions, Inc. also states, "We are now hard at work on version 2.0 of Traces. This next release will bring some significant enhancements that will change the way you work with historical records."

Traces of the Past Version 1.1.1 sells for $3.99. For more information, look at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/traces-of-the-past/id360568220?mt=8# or use your iPhone or iPod Touch to go to the App store and search for "Traces of the Past."
