I've bought the online version but they are basically the same except that you have to download the version and install it.
So fa…Read morer, MacFamilyTree has been working flawlessly for me, I am really stunned of all the features it offers while keeping the edit mode simple. Web export to MobileMe has been working very well for me, the generated pages and themes are great.(0 of 1 people found this review useful)

No thank you.

I moved from Windows to a Mac and wanted a Genealogy program to replace my old Family Tree Maker 7.0. MacFamilyTree 5 was not tha…Read moret product. I found it cumbersome to use and difficult to navigate. It has Slick presentations, but really hard to enter data from documents and associate sources. It might be okay if you are interested in outputs and not in the cumbersome input process.

Don't buy this software!
Written by KC from Haverhill
Feb 1, 2009
I've only just "switched to Mac" and I bought this software very excited that I would be able to transfer my existing tree (in FTM…Read more2009) to it and sync it with my iPhone.
The transfer part wasn't too bad once you get the hang of using the software. My issue has been with the syncing part. It worked the first time I tried it and then stopped working. I looked at the forums and wrote to Synium and they've not responded. Eventually I thought I had it sorted but dscovered it only worked once and won't update again.
Oh and the software crashes on me every once in a while. Again I've had no feedback from Synium yet.
I'm not alone with this and other issues though there may be folks out there who have no issues at all. Make an informed choice: visit the support section of the Synium website and read some of the entries there before making your purchase.

Good, but some room for improvement

I've used MacFamilyTree since Version 5.1. There was some room for improvement in this version, but the developer quickly responde…Read mored to inquiries and added new features quickly so I am perfectly happy with the product now. The update policy of Synium Software is quite outstanding: I've recieved three major updates so far for absolutely no cost. According to several forum posts I've read the developer only charges for updates every major version in 3 to 4 years. All other updates which include several major new functions and improvements are full free.
Happy customer.(86 of 91 people found this review useful)
