I adore this program.i have been working on my family tree for about 12 years, initially starting with Family tree maker which I really liked. I changed from a windows to a MAC and had to start using Reunion for Mac, the Reunion program was awful I had been using for about 4 years and I detested it to the point that I no longer enjoyed genealogy. Finally i switched to ifamily for leopard and it was the best thing I did. I am in heaven. Its everything I could ask for. I LOVE IT

Biggest Pro: Its so easy to use, fabulous set up, made me fall in love with genealogy all over.

This is the program that really developed my obsession with genealogy, but now find the support and improvements are sorely lacking. There’s an extremely loyal fan-base of users, but I am unfortunately predicting the end of an amazing program. The final frustration is that exporting data from iFamily into other applications seems sketchy, possibly because of all the great features added by its late developer. I wish, wish, wish iFamily still had the dedication and continued development it once did.

Biggest Pro: Ease of use, clarity
Biggest Con: help, updates

The developer has passed away and his son is now handling the program. This a really good program, but reports could be better. Newbies have to adjust to inputting information, especially if you have been using another program. There are not a lot of answers on the forum…seem to a lot more questions. I waited 2 weeks and never received a reply even from the developer. The developer, Warwick, is the only person who works on this program and he is everything to all people and doesn’t have time for anything because of this.

Biggest Pro: Nice layout, all around good program
Biggest Con: Help, charts

Of the several genealogy applications I have tried, all for the Mac, iFamily is by far the best. It’s easy to understand and use, and if questions arise, developer Keith Wilson (no relation–that I know of) responds immediately and personally.

Biggest Pro: Ease of use
Biggest Con: Lack of a complete Help file, although the online forum and personal response from the developer almost make them unnecessary.
