We all use a variety of apps and programs in our genealogical lives - we use them for searching, recording, organising, sharing and more. It seems like every time I turn around, I hear about something new that seems worth a look. Some I fall in love with and dive into, finding something new, useful and unique that this program offers me that others do not. Some I look over and play with a bit but ultimately decide programs I am already using offer me the same thing. Others I look at, find them wanting, and discard (some I wonder why they were ever recommended to me in the first place). I am always willing to give them a go, however, because you never know what gold you might find, and I am always excited to hear about something new. And I am always somewhat embarrassed to find out about something that has been around for a while and somehow I have missed it.
Last night, while wandering around the FamilySearch website (as you do) I found something new. Right down the bottom of their homepage is a little link to their App Gallery. How long has that been there??!!

The Apps are grouped to make them easier to search - categories are
- Find Ancestors
- Family Tree Software
- Photos and Stories
- Charts and Tree Views
- Tree Analyzing
For each there is a star rating and details of cost - some are free, others have a one-time purchase cost and others require a subscription. Some of them I already knew about, but others are new to me and I will definitely be spending some time looking through them.
So what apps and programs do you use for genealogy? What are your favourites? And do I already know about them??
