Lineascope Review by Mick Reed,  Oct 25, 2010

This is a terrific application. The biggest problem with much genealogy (and many genealogists) is that evidence is not properly analyzed, compared, etc and even if it is, few if any applications actually help the user to manage that evidence.

Lineascope fills a vital gap for the proper management of evidence. I’ve only had it for a short time, but I’m sure that I will use it often. It’s easy to use, with really nice demo videos available. Excellent reports are available, and it seems as if Ben Sayer is continuing to develop it - so it ashould only get better.

My only real concern is that it’s only online. Should Ben fall under the proverbial bus (please don’t mate), or otherwise stop working on it, then what will happen?

If a standalone version of this ever came on the market, I’d buy it immediately.

Great work by Ben Sayer.
