Version 10 looks pretty but the reports have been dumbed down to the point of being useless when compared to version 8.

I have been using MacFamilyTree for a long time and have now created entries for over 600 people going back to the 16th century. MacFamilyTree records life events, media, additional notes and sources. Great fun are the many display options on maps, as virtual trees, different family trees, factual data sheets and much more. When my children had personal history as a topic at school, I was able to give them a three-generation printout with one click. I also like the possibility to indicate local and world historical events, such as wars, floods or famines, which make the hard life in old times very clear. If you are interested in family statistics on age, places, occupations or marriages, you will find answers here. A plausibility check gives one hints as to which data need to be checked again in the sources. With the export function, one can have a book output (which I have not done yet) or a website (which I update regularly and make available to my interested relatives on a protected web space). MacFamilyTree has been greatly expanded over the years and is a real treasure among my programmes.

I purchased a this app a few weeks ago. It's a little clunky and counter-intuitive, but I was able to figure out things pretty quickly. However, there are still some issues I just have not been able get a handle on. With most of these features, I figured I get to them later, so I concentrated on getting the content I have into the program. This approach lasted about week, until I went back to look up some of the content as a reference point for further content. Lo and behold, a large amount of information that I entered dutifully had just disappeared. The best I can figure out is that this app only maintains and saves the direct line of descendants, not brothers and sisters (of grandparents, etc.). So, I had met two of my great great aunts as a young kid. I had photos and stories from them. In fact, these two people were an early key to finding links to a multi-generational gold mine of information. However, MacFamilyTree saved nothing that I entered about them, nor any of their brothers and sisters, except for the one who was my great grandmother. I'm floored and angry. I've wasted huge amounts of time and the money purchasing this piece of crap. I've tried contacting the developer's support team, but they haven't responded. My advice... don't purchase this product. You'll be disappointed after a frustrating beginning with this counter-intuitive software. I want my money back! I bet they won't do it. And, I'd love to have them pay me for my wasted time. I'm using Mac OS 10.15.7 Catalina.

the app may be good for some people but I am having problems with it, even after reading the manual. I have repeatedly contacted synuim through the address on their site. I received 1 text only saying to use the site which I have been. I also responded to that text but nothing back. I want my money back but can not get ahold of any one to demand it. any oe have ideas for me.

I purchased the new version in November 2019, expecting that I would be able to continue using the macfamilytree software!! That, unfortunately hasn't been the case as version 9 does not facilitate my using the web search provider that I have always been able to use in previous macfamilytree versions. Find My Past no longer appears on the drop down list of web search providers that the latest software is compatible with. I have reported this to MFT by several emails and they promise every time that an update will be available that will allow the use of FMP!! That update was due end of November (didn't happen) end of December (didn't happen) and now end of January (didn't happen) I have now lost patience with MFT and requested a full refund from them and await their response!!!

It has some good elements, until you get to the reports, views, charts, etc. which are RUINED. They are terrible looking. The old great MacFamilyTree8 templates are GONE and replaced with ones so bad you cannot fix them. I'm afraid to even look at what some non-designer has done to the websites. They better fix this fast.

Personally I was most impressed by the new interface, the new reports and the new statics. But there's a lot of other goodies for everyone. New is also the ability to store DNA information. It seems faster and it still is no 1 when it comes to intuitivity. Recommended!

Wow, you didn't accept having your GUI in lock step with Apple; thank you! You choose to pay attention to lots of good color and font choices and prefs to make your App pleasant to use for us who are legally blind/vision impaired. Many other Deves have refused to think outside the box to help their users; so have been forced to fight them. You respected the wise insights from the original HIG of 1985!

I have had several email exchanges but the step-issue is yet to be resolved. Here is the difficulty, taken from the Manual. "Enter "patchwork" families with a biological and a step or adoptive parent If a child lives in a family where only one part of the family is the biological mother or father and the other part is in a step or adopted relation to a child. Such a relationship requires some steps to create, but can also be entered into the database. You actually have to create three families in order to enter the mentioned relationships correctly, because children are assigned to families and not persons." This could be easily done invisibly in the background. This is on page 48 of the Manual. How to call a child 'step' is done on about page 17!

Please improve the way step relationships are dealt with - a virtual family can be created in the background with no user involvement and no intrusion into the interface. Spoils an otherwise good product.

I have used this for years, and have seen it improve. One of the good things is that the dev listen to the consumer, they answer to questions quickly and take suggestions seriously. Try it and you´ll love it!

Excellent program - which I find easy to use and very fully featured. As was noted by MaggiesDad, the relationship chart doesn't handle all situations elegantly, but the printed output is very nice and while it is easy to pick up, it also has a lot of flexibility too. I find that the various views and reports give a lot of interesting ways to view your data, including maps showing how people moved around during their lives, various forms of relationship charts and some nice website output options. I can't really fault it, and it comes with a very good manual too.

Just noticed on the Synium site that MacFamilyTree is on sale for $24.99 (through the MAS) until January 11. Nothing here about that, so I just thought I'd let people know. I just now purchased the software, so I can't review it yet...
