My Family Tree For Mac

My Family Tree is a self-explanatory macOS application that makes it easy for your to construct your family tree from within a user-oriented interface.

Moreover, My Family Tree’s simple and intuitive design helps you add and link people on an interactive map in order to create your entire family tree.

Unfortunately, the My Family Tree app does not allow you to add too much information about your family members: you can only type in the name, birth and death year, short descriptive notes and a photo.

We would have liked My Family Tree even more if it allowed us to add more details about each family member, thus making it a lot more useful when extra notes are needed for one more family branches.

On the bright side, the linking between family members is very easy to make and requires just a couple of mouse clicks. The top toolbar helps you add or remove persons and export your tree to a PDF document.

It is also worth mentioning that My Family Tree computes the family tree layout every time you load a tree and, as a result, the dynamic and arrangement of more complex trees might vary. As follows, you might need to open a tree multiple times until the desired layout is generated.

This might prove to be a major inconvenience, especially for users who have large and complex family trees. At the same time, it might also determine prospective buyers look for other similar applications.

It would have been useful if My Family Tree featured a sharing function that enabled the user to quickly and easily share the generated tree with friends and family.

Hopefully, future updates will improve My Family Tree’s layout generation engine, add new features and provide more control over the family tree layout, seeing that these are the areas we found the app lacking.
