MacFamilyTree Review by P. Wogstad, 4 days ago
I have used MacFamilyTree for several years and therefore I bought the latest issue, MacFamilyTree 9, and hoped for better software this time. Bought myself a new iMac too, expecting to have a lot of fun with family research.
Unfortunately, there are many, many problems with the software this time too. The program not responding when using it occurs on a daily basis, VERY frustrating. “CloudTree Sync and Share” fails too, although I have plenty of space available (135 GB).

I have attempted to remove the software program several times, but nothing gets better.
I contacted tech support at Synium Software GmbH, who attempted to give me worthless instructions on how to generate a report from the software program, so they could “investigate” the issue on hand. This didn´t work out at all.
I will not pay for another upgrade of the software when it is due. I am very disappointed with the entire software.
Do yourself a favor, look for another family research software program.
Biggest Pro: A fancy program, seemed to be exactly what customers wants
Biggest Con: No easy way to fix problems, complicated tech support, limits on how extensive family research you want, the program will kneel

MacFamilyTree is a commercialgenealogy program for Mac OS X which helps users build their family tree, adding data about family members, including pictures and sound clips.[3][4] The program allows the user to add sources for the information, with the ability of including scanned documents.[5] It uses the Core Data API to store information internally but can import and export to the genealogy standard GEDCOM format.[6][7] The program can also create a set of web pages for family members, and optionally upload them to their website, or to iDisk, to share with others.[6][8]
MacFamilyTree also creates various types of diagrams, from the classic descendant chart to timelines and a virtual globe showing the locations of key events in the lives of family members. Reports can also be created for individual people, or families.[9][8] A mobile companion to it, MobileFamilyTree Pro is also available for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users, and allows users to view and edit their family tree and synchronize it with MacFamilyTree.[10][11]
