Thanks for the tips Claudia! I totally forgot about my Dropbox account. So I’ve loaded that into my phone also. I did find CamScanner for free on my iPhone. There’s a free and a 4.99 one. I don’t know what the differences are, but I’m going to check out the free one first.

I’m sad that there are such problems with cross platforming so many things. Hopefully they have a Droid Ancestry app soon. It’s very basic, just the family tree section. I don’t see why it would be a problem making it for both!

There is an app for Android that is called a Cam Scanner. It lets you take pictures of documents and it will adjust the exposure. I do not know if it is also for i Phone or not. I have not used it yet but it is downloaded.

Also I have an account at Dropbox. You can set up the account on your computer and then access it through your smart phone. It will store documents as well as photos.

I am sad that Ancestry is only on the i Phone.
