MacFamilyTree was by far the most fully-featured, visually-appealing and easiest to use when I completed that process several years ago.
Since then it's grown in almost every way into a truly mature, comprehensive and versatile program that is very easy indeed to use - yet full of great power.
On those few occasions when I have had cause to contact the developers for one reason or another over the years, they have always been quick, thorough, friendly and helpful in every way - always solved whatever problem I have.
Recommended on every count.
Definitely the best!

Communication with the developer is easy and I've found them responsive and prompt.

Is it the same version at both the AppStore and Synium web store? Will it be possible to update/upgrade the software through the webstore even if the app is bought through the AppStore and vice versa?
Anyone who can give pros and cons regarding buying through the AppStore and through the website?
Thanks in advance

Usually the dev is ready with the non MAS release first. AFter that he will apply for the MAS version for approval. So in many cases the MAS version is later available. Only a few devs will release the web store version when the MAS version is approved !
Also the webs store version is much more flexible in releasing immediate bug solving releases.
The MAS version has IMHO only one advantage which is that you can use it on more than one Mac. That is if your Apple ID is linked to more than one Mac :)

Like the last reviewer, I continue to hope for better graphics. They are decent, but not always functional. For example, long text (e.g. baptismal locations) are cut off even when there is a ton of room on the page to expand the box. It's very frustrating because there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. With OS X's graphical abilities, it seems strange that this limitation persists.
The addition of the tree chart in 6.2 is quite nice though I wish the connecting lines were darker or customizable (e.g. make them dotted, dashed, etc).
Overall a very nice app and I feel like I got my money's worth. Let's hope development continues! The developers seem dedicated and helpful, though the one time I did email a feature request they indicated it was already available -- but did not explain where. I was reluctant to ask again so I let it slide...but does anyone know how to make the fan chart blood relatives only?

- You cannot control the overall color schemes for any graph. Either you like it or edit manually for every box!
- The layout of the person boxes in all graphs waste a ridiculous amount of screen/paper space. For example if you want "profession" added in the output all word larger than ~10 characters are cut-off despite enough empty space to the right side of the box.
- Even in Edit mode no alignment aids, you cannot even resize several boxes at once.
Looks like this SW is getting worser with every update. Only good for people who like the eye candy...

The software is powerful and visually rich; updates appear regularly, synching to my iPad has been smooth, and on the few occasions I've contacted the developers, customer service has been swift and helpful.
To be fair, I'd give it five stars if I'd taken the time to compare it with other options but I feel no need to. Very happy with what I've got.

Also How do you handle step relationships to the rest of the family? i.e. Step parents, children, brothers and sisters.

My Family card looks nothing like the one shown as a screen shot. Am I not clicking something correctly?
I would love if this would sync or tie into my Apple address book. This would save having to do double entry work.
I used Reunion 8 for a long time and I am finding that I am liking MFT more and more. But please look at Reunion to see what features you might be able to incorporate.
