Synium MacFamilyTree 5
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 that 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

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 FTM2009) 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.

Not What I Expected

I have found it so unfriendly, that I am at a loss for words describing the weaknesses!! I cannot get a grasp on how to make this program work for me. I will probably purchase a different program, like ReUnion, and see if that works better for me.
