The next Forebears release will be a major enhancement to the way users build and maintain their family groups. Basically, my plan is to have Forebears take more control of the various update workflows. Let me explain how this has come about.
California Calling!

One of my users in California was having real problems with Forebears. He said he loved the App but hated that it had so many bugs! Which as you can imagine was a little scary! Usually I get issues solved with a new version out in no more than a day or so. But this one’s turned out to be different.
In a way, there isn’t a bug. At least not if Forebears is used precisely as described in the User Guide. Which is kind of unreasonable on my part! As app-users, we should expect to tap anywhere, on any screen, at any time, and have the app take control. Put simply, apps need to be built with ‘guide rails’ to keep users safe and steer them in the right direction. That’s the bug. Forebears is missing a few guide-rails. It may take a week or two to get these all in place but when done, Forebears will be a lot better for it.
Thanks from the guy living in Compton, California. I enjoyed the app and understand that I make a lot of mistakes and that’s an understatement. But I was honored to be able to talked to you and get to know the man behind the product. I am having a good time using Forebears and still think this is the best thing since slice bread…Maurice
