I have used Reunion from version 4.0 (Apple IIe days). The 9.0 version is a Mac only application which I truly enjoy. Most of your questions can be answered at:
http://www.leisterpro.com/
If you have specific questions there is a technical support link which has always been responsive.
It is a solid piece of software for which so far I have never lost data.
My only disappointment is the "dual entry" which is required if you are using Ancestry.com. This issue cannot be corrected because Ancestry does not open its software doors to competing vendors.
I also have the iPhone version which is equally stable and plan to buy the iPad ver. shortly.

Twice as expensive as the competition, and a demo so crippled that you can't make any kind of informed decision. I can't throw that much money at a genealogy app without even knowing how it handles a GEDCOM import.

The automatic source feature only works for adding new persons' names - so when you are entering a bunch of details from a single source, you have to select it again for every fact. iFamily handles this much better, allowing you to set an active source and have all entries default to it. The Reunion set up is probably good for people who like to pick a person then add each detail for them, but if your workflow is to start with a source and then add each detail for all the people it references, Reunion would get very tedious.

No, Reunion doesn't open native Family Tree Maker files. You need to export then import them in GEDCOM format.

Old, antiquated program for a premium price. Have been using Reunion till Reunion 8, but then they charged 60 US$ for an minor update to Version 9. Reunion 9 still offered the old, hard to use interface like version 8.

I bought MacFamilyTree for 49 US$, it offers many more features, a modern interface and is half the price.

Great program! I've used it for years and all versions have been great. Now I look forward to a iPhone version that syncs with this one :-)

A very good app. Native OS X, very stable, many features and simple to use. (I love the brushed metal interface and will miss it in Leopard.)

Some remarks:
- I'm quite sure you will sell a lot more if you reduce your price to MFT+$20
- the icon of the app itself is soooo ugly (which is strange since all the icons within the app are beautiful)

Feature request:
- How about some Google Earth integration? A great feature included in MFT since its last update.

At $60 for an upgrade, this would have to be twice the program it was before and it is not. Rewriting it to work natively on Intel is not worth any upgrade price since it already worked. Not enough new features for the price. For that price I will look for another program first. Still using 8 till it stops working all together.

Great concept. Ugly, really, really ugly GUI. So ugly I can't use use even though it's full of features and is simple to use.

I have already paid for the upgrade, and I'm always satisfied with Reunion. Always. Stable program with nice "bells and whistles."

My only concern is that $59.95 is a very costly upgrade. Perhaps Mr. Leister may consider a cheaper upgrade next time for users who have upgraded several times, or maybe those "charter members" can get a larger price break. Just a thought.

We just downloaded this and MacFamilyTree. Reunion 8 is very easy to understand as soon as you open it. You just start typing and before you know what is going on, you have filled out the 35 people limit with the demo.

Can't say the same about the other app although we did much prefer the charting on MacFamilyTree over Reunion. Give it a 4 for features due to this.

We think the cost in this case is well worth it. Reunion is really nice and for us the clear winner.
