First of all, thanks to all of you great people who’ve downloaded my Forebears family history app. I really appreciate it and hope you’re having fun using it with your family history projects.
And there’s a lot of you! The chart may help explain the radio silence since my last update. I’ve been preoccupied developing and supporting Forebears and apologise for not telling you about it. So let’s start with the big one…
Forebears for Mac
Forebears started life as an iPhone App with a focus on mobility – “family history on the go”. It was extended before too long to iPad and then had a further face-lift for external keyboard and mouse. After which I relaxed, my job done. Content that the community of family historians and genealogists had everything they needed.
But no. It wasn’t long before people were telling me “We have our Apple computers and we don’t always have iPad tablets. We want more!!”
So unlike Mr Bumble’s answer to Oliver Twist, I felt the World deserved another helping of Forebears.
In December 2023, just in time for the seasonal holiday, I launched Forebears for Mac and already it’s becoming a best seller. Users in the United States – the home of Apple – are finding this new Mac version especially attractive. However, whilst they’re leading the way, downloads are coming from across the globe.
What’s Next?
Watch this space for more news on Forebears development. And please – I’d like to hear from you about your experience with my App. What do you like? What do you not like? Don’t be shy 😉
