"Not that easy to figure out."

Plan on spending some time reading the "Help" section.
-
"Over dependent on other sites."
Version: Genbox Family History 3.7.1
Pros
Lots of features. Well linked.
Cons
As title very much dependent on sources of data. Did not allow much individual initiative.
-
"Not what I needed"
Version: Genbox Family History 3.7.1
Pros
It was easy to download and easy to remove.
Cons
It didn't give me the flexibility or the detail fields I needed.
Summary
It didn't give me the flexibility or the detail fields I needed for tracking people with multiple relationships and children that issued from them. Also a review should NOT "require" that all fields be used. It should allow the user to state what they wish to in the manner they wish to use.

"Just what I was looking for"
Version: Genbox Family History 3.7.1
Pros
A good price for a product that does the job. Reasonably intuitive with a bit of practice. Probably has more to offer than a keen amateur would need so encourages you to do more.
Cons
Not a lot. Perhaps the ability to print charts could be a bit easier.

"Excellent, but not for the computer novice"
Version: Genbox Family History 3.7.1
Pros
If you only want to put a bunch of names in and look at a Chart, choose another program. If you want to create a database of your family history, choose this package.
It has an extremely easy interface that allows anyone to jump right in and create a family tree. The front-end screen for data entry is simple and fairly intuitive. Very powerful database with ability to link multimedia files to your family tree.
After you go beyond the first screen, things can get a little complicated. This is where some computer savvy will come in handy. Not to say that is impossible to use, but someone with only basic skills may find difficult to use. Well worth the money for anyone interested in creating a really nice family tree dbase.
Cons
Print options for large family tree Charts seems to a little limited.
