We were also slightly disappointed to find that research produced during the demo trial cannot be exported to the full paid version of the software. This means that, while most free versions of other software in this category allow you to conduct limited research into your family history, this is not the case regarding Mac Family Tree. On the other hand, however, users are not able to save nor print their work. On the one hand, the demo does allow users to try out all the available features, which is great seeing as most free genealogy software is restricted in this sense. Luckily, they do offer a free demo which allows you to check out Mac Family Tree before committing to a purchase. At $49.00 it costs almost double that of many of its competitors. However, as is the case regarding most Mac programmes, Mac Family Tree is on the expensive side. Also, it boasts one of the slickest, intuitive user interfaces, something for which Mac users have very high standards.

It is one of the fastest programmes we have reviewed, with no loading times or freezing whatsoever. Although since Synium released their first version of Mac Family Tree, most of the best genealogy programmes have become Mac compatible, all Mac users will tell you that software fine tuned specifically for the Mac is almost always superior.Īs such, Mac Family Tree 7 is specifically designed for the latest OS X Yosemite operating system, and this really shows.

Mac Family Tree from Synium is the only Mac specific genealogy software in this category.
