MobileFamilyTree is a mobile application available for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users with near-identical features, optionally allowing users to synchronize with MacFamilyTree using iCloud integration. Reports can be generated for individual entries or entire families. MacFamilyTree creates data visualizations including a classic descendant chart, timelines, and a virtual globe indicating locations of key events in the lives of subjects. It provides integration with iCloud to synchronize data across multiple devices and features the ability to generate and publish HTML web pages from saved family trees. Since it omits all the information I can't recite from memory, the fan chart in V.0 is 100% useless, worthless bloatware.MacFamilyTree is a commercial genealogy program for macOS which allows users to build family trees and document genealogical research by adding data about family members including pictures, documents, and sound clips. It is to my great disappointment the fan chart in V.9 only covers 4 generations of my ancestors, which I already know from memory. In addition, I have tracked the genealogy of Mexican wolves in a separate project, and the limitless fan chart made that easy as well. Now to MacFamilyTree 10: I’ve bought it the day SYNIUM launched it and they got it right this time. MacFamilyTree 9 did not change these shortcomings (I liked the other changes, but data entry was still not good). All I needed to do was use the expansion bar to view any individual member. While I liked MacFamilyTree 8, data entry and especially sourcing was cumbersome. It presently shows my family history going back 11-12 generations, and I found it was the easiest way to mentally comprehend the who's who of my family. One of my favorite features of V.8 was the fan chart. Speed was the reason I kept photos and documentation in a separate location on my computer, and have considered using a different program altogether, Bookends, for source documentation. I really love it, but am happy at least to see the promise that V.9 is faster, as it needed speed improvement. My first purchase of this software was Version 8. I look forward to adding the mobile options too. I am hooked on geneaology now that I know how easy it is to start. I am enjoying adding photos to names and it will be fun to collect photos from my family members to add to our tree. ![]() I like things to be visual, and MacFamilyTree helps me see my family and our relatives in ways that help me connect faces to names. I particularly like the opportunity to create family books once I have more data and images and documents uploaded. I am hooked now and want to add as much information as I can about my family and I look forward to my family helping me complete our information and including images too. I am pleased that there are so many ways to display my data. I like the CloudTree sync feature as well as the report system. And it is quite convenient that I can share my data with multiple family members, which will help us build our family tree(s) more efficiently. I am going to get my family to use this platform, because it is so easy to use and so comprehensive in scope. I had no idea it would be this easy to start and that I could add DNA testing information too. The visuals are great and I like the chart features. I am new to researching and creating a family tree and my relatives have had a hard time using a different app, so I thought I would try MacFamily Tree.
