FamilySearch has new features and new mobile apps. When you sign in to FamilySearch.org, you see a personalized home page. This page includes links to suggested tasks and the recently viewed people in the FamilySearch Family Tree. There is also a to-do list for you to track your tasks. Use FTAnalyzer to investigate your family tree in new and interesting ways. Find errors in your tree eg: childrens birthdates before parent was born. See lists of who is missing from census searches then click their name to automatically search on Ancestry, Find My Past, Familysearch etc.

Facebook, Support Site & Twitter
The User Group is hosted as a page on Facebook. The Support website is also on Facebook. The Twitter account is @FTAnalyzer note I don’t check twitter very often.
Notes
Please note that the development of the Mac version is still in a “beta” stage. It can load a file and display individuals, families, sources, occupations, facts and locations. I’ve also added the errors and fixes tab, and the research suggestions tab.
These are quite basic at present as it doesnt yet have the filters that the windows version has and the duplicates isn’t yet working. I’ve also added a double click to the lists to show all the facts for that person or family.
The research suggestions tab allows auto searching of census records on Ancestry, Find My Past, FamilySearch and FreeCen by double clicking on a box.
The version under development and hopefully available by the end of 2018 will include option panels and printing of the reports.
Beta Testers Needed
Family Search Application
More changes will be implemented over the comming months. However I need some folks to help to test the features as they become available and find bugs before I release a new version to the App Store. App Store users expect versions to work without issues but spotting bugs can be hard for a solo developer so I need help.
Free Family Search App
These beta versions will be released through the github website and not via the App Store. If you wish to take part in beta testing please email me via this site and I’ll setup a beta testers discussion group. The more folks that can provide feedback from testing the quicker I can release a new version to the App Store.
