Mocavo, Inc. has released version 1.0 of Mocavo (it had been discussed at RootsTech last month). It’s available on the iOS platform for now and it’s free. There should be an Android version in the near future, because at the beginning of February, they mentioned that they expected them to be available within the next 30 days.<\/p>\n
Mocavo has stated they are more of a search engine for free genealogy data and information and their mobile app expands that functionality and allows people to contribute. Around this time last year, Dick Eastman talked about Mocavo’s search engine<\/a><\/p>\n Features of Mocavo’s Mobile App:<\/strong> Requirements: <\/strong> Link to Apple iTunes Apps Store<\/strong> Other Links: Note:<\/strong> I have not spoken to Mocavo directly about this, but I always have a concern about uploading content, whether it be family photos or documents or things you’ve scanned or photographed elsewhere, to third parties. My concern is namely about whether they can then claim ownership of that content and whether they can then sell it commercially. Mocavo does state the following in the description of their mobile app: Not ready to share your family photos and documents with the world? Not a problem. We\u2019ll let you upload them to your Scrapbook to keep safe in a digital space for generations to come.<\/em><\/p>\n Mocavo also states on their FAQ about Privacy Policies<\/a> in regards to uploading family tree information: your tree is yours. Mocavo does not claim ownership of your family tree data and you have the option to delete your tree from Mocavo at any time. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mocavo, Inc. has released version 1.0 of Mocavo (it had been discussed at RootsTech last month).
