Product Description
Reunion is a genealogy software program -- a "family tree program" -- for the Macintosh. Reunion received the highest rating for genealogy software in MacWorld, MacAddict, and Mac Home Journal magazines. Reunion helps you to document, store, and display information about your family -- your ancestors, descendants, cousins, etc. It records names, dates, places, facts, plenty of notes, sources of information, pictures, sounds, and videos. It shows family relationships in an elegant, graphic form -- people and families are linked in an easy-to-understand fashion. Reunion makes it easy to publish your family tree information -- even if you want to share it on the Web or carry it on your iPod. You can automatically create common genealogy reports, charts, and forms, as well as birthday calendars, mailing lists, questionnaires, indexes, and other lists. Reunion even creates slideshows, calculates relationships, ages, life expectancies, and statistics. Reunion also creates large, graphic tree charts allowing complete on-screen editing of boxes, lines, fonts, and colors. Wall charts for family reunions are one of its specialties.

Reunion is a terrific program! It's intuitive and creates all the reports and graphics anyone could want. I wish that Mac products were as cost effective as those for PCs.


3 out of 5 stars meh.... not awful but not great either   May 31, 2010

if you want a mac computer, you are stuck with very very limited choices on genealogy programs.
having used PC genealogy programs for 10 years, i can honestly say that reunion for mac has some big big flaws.
1. it is cumbersome to use. hard to navigate, difficult to search effectively.
2. it really does not produce usable reports, especially not pedigree charts.
3. you cannot change the data fields that show up on the interface page.
4. the help manual is not user friendly, or detailed enough to be useful.
it's not horrible, but it could be a lot more useful and user friendly. if you do not know genealogy, i would not recommend starting with this program.
ifamily for leopard is better for source tracking, better for user interface, but far worse for creating decent reports and forms.

I gave Reunion 3 stars a few months back, but after trying to print out a new set of reports, I have to downgrade it. I have spent more time trying to figure out how to get good reports and charts than I have spent doing input and research put together. Instead of allowing direct printing with lots of formatting options like FTM, Reunion tells you, if you don't like their clunky, hard-to-read reports, to send them to your word processor and reformat them yourself. Isn't formatting your data what the program is for?

If you need Mac software, I would suggest checking out the less expensive programs or waiting for FTM for Mac, which I have read will be released any month now . . .
