Top Recommended Alternative

Slick 3D presentation

MacFamilyTree does much more than just be used to create family reports and create contact information via ID cards for your family. The impressive 3D effects it adds to family trees makes navigating it really slick. Most recently, MacFamilyTree has been updated to allow users to search online for your family history, a service which currently is free to use. You can also publish your family trees and history to the web with iCloud

Lacks a wider network search feature

The main drawback of MacFamilyTree however is the fact that it doesn't have the search power and social interaction aspect that something like say Genes Reunited has. This means discovering your wider family tree isn't really possible. Some users have also reported that it's also prone to lags and crashes when family information files grow quite big according, meaning that you might have problems managing large family trees.

Brings your family tree to life

Overall however, MacFamilyTree makes discovering your family tree a slick and easy experience.

    More sophistication would be welcome.. In early records most family names are recorded with several spellings. This is possible with MacFamily tree but not really expected. This is a difference between genealogy in the U.S. where names were standardised when people migrated but in Europe names were not standardised until the nineteenth century. This has not been anticipated in MacFamilyTree.

    Frustratingly clunky!. I have tried using this software but find it does not behave very logically and can be very frustrating to get to work. The windows do not always behave correctly for example the Database Maintenance window refuses to allow the' Find person duplicates' area to spool up and make this feature inaccessible.

    Stay Away. I'd be very careful about choosing this software. The interface is clunky at best, often requiring digging 5+ levels deep just to inter a simple piece of information. There are tons of bugs and customer service is practicably nonexistent. When they do respond they lie through their teeth.I'd highly recommend looking at the other programs in this category and steering clear of anything made by Synium.
