Rating: - Good but full of bugs
Unfortunately on my platform (Vista Ultimate 64bit) this software is absolutely riddled with bugs (even after applying the patch). Straight out of the box, it does not connect to the internet - a stressful search around the support site eventually found the patch which enabled internet connectivity. Since then, the program suffers from consistent crashes to the desktop. The upside is that as they are consistent, you avoid performing certain tasks enabling you to use the software reasonably easiliy. ... Read More

Rating: - Oh dear... don't buy...
I have been using the "less than pretty" Family Tree Maker 2006 as I am a young but very serious family history nut. So I was very excited about the new version. The redesign looks great, but is REALLY REALLY bad. It has annoying glitches, does nothing like the original (trees are much more limited) and was the biggest let down I have ever had with a new program. I actually sent it back. Your money is better spent on an Ancestry subscription than this rubbish. Great packaging, great look, great DVD and ... Read More

Rating: - Why Change
Having used the 2006 version I have traced every member of our family back to around 1840, that's my wife's and mine. This is simply an interface to view your tree, any program is only as good as it's database and whether you use the 2006 or 2008 edition the database holds the same information. If you are just starting to trace your ancestors you will obviously want the latest edition but I see no sense in spending money upgrading just to have a better looking page. I will not be purchasing this edition ... Read More

Rating: - Upadated and very much IMPROVED
This is a radical change from previous versions of this software, which has since been updated & now works brilliantly. Anyone who is used to using a point-and-click interface, such as a web browser will now find this software very easy to use. Charting is also much simpler to use than older versions. I'm still feeling some resistance to this new version, but that's about familiarity, not functionality. Unlike the old software which used to take regular holidays to Mars whilst it thought about things, ... Read More

Rating: - What a shambles
This is not an update, it is a re-write. What is the point? Such a change should be re-titled and not just given a new date. The publishers have already created a confusion with introduction of Ancestry incorporating FTM. What are they playing at? Family history computer games?

It is high time that computer program writers addressed the neglected issue of user-friendliness. The are still writing for the professional computer user and ignoring the thousands of amateurs who form the majority of ... Read More
