Its problems continue and there's been only one update since the app was released in Nov 2010. If a second update comes out, I'll give FTMM another shot, but I'm not holding my breath. BTW, I've been getting lots of Ancestry emails advertising wonderful packages for FTM for Windows--products I would love to have, especially at that price. Sadly, those ads feel like slaps in the face since there has been no update or company feedback for FTMM. I fully expect to see Ancestry abandon Mac users just like they did the last time. Oh wait--I think they already have! ;-) I've added more details in the comments on my original post, but I would definitely not recommend this application to anyone who uses Mac. Go with Reunion--it's not pretty but it's trustworthy. -------------- December 27, 2010 EDIT: FTM users have made some valid points in the discussions...

This is my first experience with a software-based genealogy problem; I'm coming from the cloud-based tree model of Ancestry.com. I found that the downloading of my Ancestry.com tree worked well; a great deal of data was transferred successfully, without errors. That's really all I was looking for: a way to save my tree in case something happens to the online one, or I wish to stop my Ancestry.com subscription. But I found that there are several features that go beyond what the online Ancestry.com tree can do. It's much more powerful. Searching for people within your own tree is easier, and you can generate useful lists of all the people associated with a particular place or time period -- something I often need when researching. Also, it enabled me to spell-check my whole tree, and check and standardize all the place names. The... Read more 66 of 73 people found the following review helpful: Wow! Finally!, This review is from: Family Tree Maker for Mac (CD-ROM) Family Tree Maker for Windows was one of only two programs that I could only run under Windows and not on my Mac. Now (finally) I am one step closer to ditching Windows once and for all. By writing FTM for a new platform (OS X) they have been able to leave behind some of the limitations of Windows. For instance, one feature that absolutely thrills me if that FINALLY I can create PDF files wider than 200-inches (a limitation of the Windows version) so that I can now send PDF files of the family tree to distant family members on the other side of the world. Thank you. Thank you for finally developing this Mac version. |
