Anyone tried merging and such on an iPad? We are thinking of getting one to replace my computer. Then I could really Geni everywhere ;).

Is there an App now? Last time I tried, I couldn't use Geni on an iPhone because it needs Adobe Flash and Apple doesn't support it....

But can't you use Geni on Apple computers?

Yes, you can use Geni on Apple computers. We have an E-Mac. It is very good and we do get Geni messages, etc.

You can use it but you won't be able to view the tree.

@Beth Beeman, I have viewed my family tree many times.

When we first released the merge center I spent HOURS doing merges on my iPad while watching TV. It was really nice! :-)

Of course you can view it on an Apple computer. It's not the same as viewing on an iPad. To view the actual tree on your iPad you need flash which is not available on an iPad or an iPhone.

The tree view is currently all FLASH, so you can't use tree view on the ipad or iphone for that matter. For some, that's everything, for others, it's not that much. But... you can do just about everything other than tree view from Safari on iPad.

PLEASE make Geni compatible with my iPad!!! I know this is a silly problem between Apple and Adobe but we the users are suffering.

agreed..... I'd love to work on my tree while I am on vacation. Can't do it since I will be traveling with the iPad. Genealogy trips are so much more fun when you don't have to bring the kitchen sink with you.

As far as I know Geni are working on replacing flash with html5, so stay tuned.

Also Puffin app that supports Flash, used for the tree view, works perfectly for me on my iPad Air.
