Reunion 10 software review

Well, I confess today I was completely wrong to wait. This Reunion 10 for Mac review takes you through some of the new features, including GPS, an improved user interface, and new On this Date and Obituary reports. And all of the features that were available in v. And as I worked to clean up these locations, I also found ways to improve my research which led to breakthroughs.

At the bottom left of the main window is a menu that changes the type of data displayed in the new right-hand Sidebar. Sources gives you a complete list, Multimedia shows all the images for a particular family member, and so on. This is a nice feature, but seems oddly placed. On the left side is the new Navbar, a set of shortcuts that enable quick switching between a Tree and Family view of your family data and quick access to tools to search, mark, and create charts and reports and access logs.

On This Date and Obituary Report are new to version The Obituary Report generates a written obituary as it might have appeared in the newspaper, using the information available for that person, including spouses, children, and other relatives.

Based on positive reviews and added functionality I purchased and installed Reunion I like the new things that it can do such as enhanced web search, etc. Maybe it is because I was so used to Reunion 9 that I am having such a hard time warming up to this version but I find the interface clunky. I do not like the gradient color on the name buttons.

It is possible to change the color but you are stuck with the gradient I ended up changing the color to white so that I would not have to deal with the gradient. I also prefer the list style of children and parents available in Reunion 9 over the boxes in Reunion The good news is that the children can be set to display in a list but, unfortunately, this option is not available for the parents displayed in the family card.

I am sure that I will get used to it eventually but, right now, because of the clunky interface, it is not a pleasure to work with this application. I started out with reunion 4. I still like many features in it that are not available in later versions. I like creating a calendar for everyone born, married or died on todays date and quickly click thru them to see if you needed to do further research or updates.

I also like the register report as you could make a double column page and cut down the number of pages in half making a very readable report. I know there are a lot of drawbacks but for creating a simple family tree it was great! Your email address will not be published.
