Synium Software GmbH is announcing a 50% discount until July 7, 2011 on MobileFamilyTree Pro for the iPhone and iPad. MobileFamilyTree Pro is billed as "is the first full-fledged mobile genealogy application on the market." That is, unlike the other genealogy programs for the iPhone and iPad, MobileFamilyTree Pro is a complete free-standing program that does not require a Windows or Macintosh computer.
While MobileFamilyTree version 2 was a "companion" product" for use with MacFamilyTree (a Macintosh genealogy program), the new PRO version brings much of the functionality and much, if not all, of the data in the Mac version to the iPhone and iPad. It does not simply display information from another program; MobileFamilyTree Pro is the only genealogy program you need. Of course, having your genealogy information with you in your iPhone or iPad is a great convenience.
Quoting from the program's web site:
The next generation of mobile genealogy on iOS - MobileFamilyTree Pro brings the powerful features of MacFamilyTree as a standalone application to your iPhone or iPad.
For the first time it is possible to experience the fascinating world of digital genealogy on your iPhone or iPad without a Personal Computer. A Mac or PC is no longer required to use MobileFamilyTree. You can even exchange data with nearly every genealogy app on your personal computer using GEDCOM files - PC or Mac.
Take the powerful features of MobileFamilyTree Pro with you wherever you go.
Edit your family tree in an intuitive graphical environment or use various practical reports to record your family history down to the smallest detail. You can even take photos or make videos of your relatives straight from the application.
If you have MacFamilyTree on your Mac, syncing your data never was easier. All changes on your family tree will be merged when syncing different devices. An improved conflict management helps you to synchronize large genealogical research projects.
