MORNINGSTARR  I purchased MacFamilyTree in the hopes of being able to continue my intermittent research of my family. I recently switched to MAC and PAF is not available. I had hopes that this program would help me continue. However, I'm vastly disappointed. The graphics are really good, but what good is that if you can't work with the data?

I have tried every which way I can to merge a new GED file with my main file, but so far I believe I will have to type in the entries one at a time. Although this was not perfect in PAF, the program was useful in searching out duplicate entries and giving you the opportunity to merge some data while passing other data by.

It is obvious to me that this software will be useless in any serious researcher let alone a part timer like myself. I would much prefer a more robust program without all the fancy bells and whistles.  (Version 5.1.5)

MYSTERY TRAMP  Great interface. Among the best in this class of software.

Great handling of photos, movies, PDFs, etc. which can be attached to people, families, events, wherever. Far better than most other programs I've seen.

Lack of a manual a problem, but the message board at Synium.de is fairly active with users who can answer most questions.  (Version 5.1.5)

ED0815  In my opinion the best program around; no hassle install, intuitive to use, nice graphics, loads of features; highly recommended; personally i could use a tree type family chart, which is still missing.  (Version 5.1.5)

IMPISH  MFT's biggest weakness is its lack of documentation. Synium continues to say they are working on it, but I'm beginning to have my doubts.  (Version 5.1.2)
