My Samsung Galaxy S phone has Android 2.3.6 (gingerbread) installed. The RootsMagic app works fine.
I just got a Le Pan TC970 tablet with Android 2.2 (Froyo) installed. The Google Play Store doesn't show the RootsMagic app when I browse for it from this device. When I search Google for the app from this device, it leads me to the Play Store but displays the message, 'Your device isn't compatible with this version.' Unfortuanately my tablet's Android can't be upgraded.
I'm making the assumption that at least Ginderbread (2.3) is required. Let me know if anyone finds a way to make 2.2 work.

I've just got a Kindle Fire HDX (8.9") and Amazon doesn't recognise it as compatible.

My friend is trying to d/l the Android App and it keeps freezing up her phone. She is using a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II with android 2.3.4. She does not have a tablet or other computer. Is there anything I can do to help her? I am trying to get her started in genealogy. However getting a program on her phone seems to be the sticking point.

If she's just getting started in genealogy then the app really isn't the way to go. That is because the RootsMagic app is read-only.
To add to or edit a database you need to use the full version. She can download RootsMagic Essentials the free version to her PC computer. It won't run on Android devices.
Download RootsMagic Essentials 6 here - http://www.rootsmagic.com/Essentials/
