Question

When will Wikitree get an app so we can work on our cell phones?

Answer 1

Well, you can work on WkiTree using the smartphone's browser but it is not easy. Even working on an android tablet is hard and not fun! I use an iPad on occasion and it is a little better to use for WikiTree. Most all my work at WikiTree is done from my laptop, it is just so much easier than all the other devises. Maybe someday someone will volunteer to create an app for Wikitree for free, Wouldn't that be great!

I do some WT work on my tablet and smartphone, but it can be challenging for sure. I typically work on my laptop with two screens running so I can look at source materials while still watching the profile I'm working on.

Hi Debbie,

It's been discussed but not much progress on it now. We spend a lot more time improving the site in general, instead, like our GEDCom upload process and DNA updates. I'll make sure it's still on our To Do list, though. It would definitely be something handy to have.

I do everything on WikiTree using my android cell phone. I get on it through my Chrome browser.
