[APG Public List] [APG Members] best mac genealogy program

[A.C. Ivory]

Larry and all,

In my opinion, it depends on what you are wanting with your software. I have
used Reunion for about two years and I am thoroughly pleased with it. It has
great customization capabilities and is very simple and easy to use.
However, I feel that their charts and reports lack many different things.
Their charts and reports are fine, but they could definitely be updated to a
more "friendly" look. They are pretty plain and boring.

I also have started to use Mac Family Tree, which I find to be pretty good.
Mac Family Tree is more visually pleasing when it comes to charts and
reports, however, I think that their sourcing capabilities is an extreme
downside. Compared to Reunion, Mac Family Tree just has very basic sourcing
fields to enter information.

For me, I usually use Reunion for my main database software, but then I
export a GEDCOM file and use Mac Family Tree if I am wanting to make a
report or chart.

Over this last weekend Mac Family Tree was 50% off at MacUpdatePromo
website, but I see that it is still on sale for 20% off ($39.20) for the
next five days.
