How exciting! will check it out tonight

I have an Android HTC Wildfire. When I try to download it from the Android Market, I get the message that it canon be installed on my Android. What goes. Wrong?
December 15th, 2011 - 22:08
Peter, on the android market they say that the app doesn’t support the resolution(240*320) of the HTC wildfire, or maybe you have OS under 2.2? hope you’ll get to see the app anyway, it’s really cool. Cheers mate!
December 15th, 2011 - 22:52
Amazing. Love it.
December 16th, 2011 - 20:23
Why does this meed to know my location? Fine GPS is selected
December 16th, 2011 - 20:41
You need to be able to select to install both MyHeritahe and Adobe Air on the SD card

Is there an Apple version of My Heritage available, as well?
December 17th, 2011 - 16:13
Cathleen, check out http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/myheritage/id477971748?mt=8
William, I think it’s related to the photo-sharing part of the app, so when it’s on your family site it has all the data of the photo.
Enjoy!
December 17th, 2011 - 18:25
Hi Cathlee. If you are referring to a version of the Family Tree Builder for Mac or Apple, the software does not support the Mac yet but we plan to address this in the future.

Congratulations, at last an app to rival the Ancestry to go app.
I am thrilled at the launch, but haven’t delved into the workings much yet.
December 18th, 2011 - 11:47
Hi Peter. It might be either due to weak device or OS under 2.2. Android market doesn’t allow installation on devices that don’t fit app’s requirements (those requirements are written on the right to the Android market description).
December 18th, 2011 - 11:48
Hi William. In order to have proper EXIF (photo data) of the photo user is uploading, we need to know that. In the future, more geo-location features are planned to be added to enhance genealogical research.

It appears that although I run Android 2.2.1 on my HTC Wildfire it says it is not compatible with this application. Is this so, and will you make the app compatible? If it should be compatible, how do I load the app?
December 19th, 2011 - 05:02
How good, well done ….Using it already…
December 19th, 2011 - 09:04
Hi Albert. MyHeritage app for Android currently does not support Android OS below 2.2 and low resolution screens. The new HTML5-based tree will soon be available on MyHeritage.com. Stay tuned for updates.

Cannot download it to a LG Smartphone, does not support
December 20th, 2011 - 02:43
Won’t download to my LG Optimus Smartphone. Will there be a fix?
December 20th, 2011 - 09:27
Thanks for the, potentially, nice app.
I’ve installed it on the iPad, but i only can see a part of the family tree.
In my case only 47 of 162 persons are shown.
I do not see any option screen for setting, for example, the number of generations to show.
Any idea if this is a tree issue or an app issue ?

Really nice iPad app that works well so far. I have recommended it to the members of my family tree site.

Prezados Senhores
O fato de ainda não entrado totalmente no myheritage, versão gratis, é que o números de membros determinados por vocês é pequeno para minha família que cresce uma média de 04 a 06 por ano. Atualmente é de 294 membros.
Abraços
