I have found the option to select Reference number and I have chosen “Reference Number” but this only appears on the edit screen and nowhere else on views or reports, so it does not help me a great deal.

I sent the following list of suggestions to Mac Family Tree Support in June 2016 and have heard nothing back. It forces me to do all my work in clunky Brothers Keeper (written by a genealogists for genealogists with great functionality) export it and print it from MacFamily. Hope this helps others understand the shortcomings of what could be an industry leader if simple things were fixed. no compact way to print all info in an indented hierarchy to give people hard copy to check and correct REPOSOTORY only has name and address files, and rejects email/fax/phone etc rather than put into NOTES

truncated source details - no overflow into even a NOTEs field inability to merge a GEDCOM from another database into yours invalid GEDCOM import/export and rejections of data rather than storage in a notes field lost focus on the current person as you change views/reports etc (must search again for EVERY screen change to the same person) attributes for person that are not searchable/printable unique ID for each person searchable ( their simply does not work and cannot be displayed with the person in layouts) I have been building my family tree on PC/Macs since 1987 and MacFamily is the most beautiful product I have used but it was not designed by a genealogist as the the most basic but key functions are not provided.e.g. ‎Biggest Pro: Great variety of charts and reports!‎ Obwohl dieses Programm von einer deutschen Firma stammt, wundert es mich doch sehr, dass ich hier unter allen bisher abgegebenen Bewertungen nur eine in deutscher Sprache gefunden habe!Įs kann vielleicht sein, dass der GEDCOM-Standard für den Austausch von genealogischen Daten von diesem Programm noch nicht in jedem Fall optimal umgesetzt wird.ĭie mit MacFamilyTree erstellbaren Diagramme und Berichte sind aber auf jeden Fall sehr vielfältig!īiggest Pro: Große Vielfalt an Diagrammen und Berichten!Įdge translation: ‎Although this program comes from a German company, i am very surprised that I have found only one in German among all the reviews submitted so far!‎ ‎It may be that the GEDCOM standard for the exchange of genealogical data is not yet being optimally implemented by this program.‎ ‎However, the diagrams and reports that can be produced with MacFamilyTree are definitely very diverse!‎

I will not pay for another upgrade of the software when it is due.

I contacted tech support at Synium Software GmbH, who attempted to give me worthless instructions on how to generate a report from the software program, so they could “investigate” the issue on hand. I have attempted to remove the software program several times, but nothing gets better. “CloudTree Sync and Share” fails too, although I have plenty of space available (135 GB).

The program not responding when using it occurs on a daily basis, VERY frustrating. Unfortunately, there are many, many problems with the software this time too. Bought myself a new iMac too, expecting to have a lot of fun with family research.

I have used MacFamilyTree for several years and therefore I bought the latest issue, MacFamilyTree 9, and hoped for better software this time.
