Seems like we should have a thread on this.
Has anyone downloaded the app and messed around with it? It is really well-done, IMO, and can be a lot of fun. The Family Tree section presents a cool visual of your ancestry, and lots of the records have photos and stories uploaded. Learned a lot about ancestors I didn't know I even had. My kids have enjoyed hearing the stories as well.
One interesting feature is the Find Relatives (I think that's what it is called) function. You open it up in a room with a bunch of people who also have the app open, and it will tell you which people you are related to and how. Turns out my wife and I are 10th cousins, once removed. That's probably nothing though. My wife was at a book club last night with 8-10 other Mormon women. Every single woman in that group was related to each other with the sole exception of the woman whose parents are from Mexico.
