FamilySearch Indexing for iOS, Android

FamilySearch (www.familysearch.org) has now launched an Indexing app for iOS and Android. For all those interested in genealogy and with some free time on their hands, a warning... This is an addicting app!

First you want to do a few names just to test it, next you realise there are stats and you want to have a high number of matches, meaning the way you typed a name matches the way other indexers typed it, and then you just can't stop! You will do just one more name, just one more, just one more...

This is actually a great way to use your free time as you will be contributing to the largest freely available genealogical database on the Web, making it possible to search for names instead of spending hours looking at old microfilms. And with the mobile app you can index on the bus, at the beach or wherever you are, either on your smartphone or your tablet.

Way to go, FamilySearch!
