GeneDroid: A Geni Client for Android Phones
I took some time recently to sit down with the folks at MobiWolf to talk about their wonderful Geni client for Android phones called GeneDroid. If you use an Android device, take a moment to read through this Q&A. And of course, we’d love for you to check out GeneDroid for yourself.
Access to the biggest genealogy database Geni from your handset.GeneDroid – it is an easy to navigate family tree, based on a well-known service Geni.
Version 0.3 allows to link Geni profiles with your Android’s contacts!
The main features of the program:· Family tree view and navigation
· Demonstrate family tree to your friends and relatives
· Read information about the family members in their native languageTo start to enjoy the program you should have a free account on Geni.com. You have to log in using the username and password from your account in Geni. Then you will be shown the family tree with the easy navigation on it. If you click on the current tree element (the badge), you’ll see the detail information about this person.
GeneDroid is a great opportunity for Android smartphones users to get connection with a leading service platform for genealogy. Interestingly, Geni users from around the world work together to build a single, comprehensive family tree. Your tree will grow quickly, because now the system has more than 50 million profiles registered.GeneDroid – is actually the first Android application that uses Geni data.
Of course, we can have many different functions to implement in the next versions of GeneDroid, that is why we are looking forward to listen for user feedbacks and try to implement the most popular requests.
Thus we plan the following additional features for the next update:
· Display photos of each family tree member
· Connections drawing
· Show additional information in the profileAs a postscript: To know your lineage means to respect your family history and be proud of it, transforming your ancestries’ experience and achievements in the progress and dignity of your children and grandchildren!
