Version: GreatFamily 2.2.2
Pros: nothing
Cons: I am not sure how this is software for creating family tree. All the options are adding boxes with names and links towards other boxes. It does not put any meaning to it.

"Very disappointing, I urge you to try something else."
Pros: It has the basics covered. Adding family members is easy as is linking them all together.
Can add photos and create galleries for each person.
Fully functional trial with good time limit.
Cons: The user interface is neither aesthetically pleasing (looks very dated) nor does it help with functionality.
The way it lays out the family tree is very poor. Just looking at the example is enough to give you a headache. The boxes for each person are fine, it's the endless array of lines that's the problem. Instead of one line connecting parents and then another connecting children it has a line from each parent to every child! Very messy and not easy to look at, let alone work out 'who belongs to whom'.
It lacks many features which other products provide making it a rather basic application.
Navigation around the tree is somewhat annoying - there are arrow buttons on the screen that move the field of view, or there are the arrow keys. The addition of scroll bars would have helped.

Version: GreatFamily 2.2.2
"Great product for family tree web page generation."
Pros: It is easy and intuitive to use. It only took me a few seconds to figure out how to use it. It allows you to add photo slide shows of ancestors. It generates beautiful, fully functional web pages quickly.
Cons: The only downfall is it lacks the large volume of reports/books of other products. But if you want to share your history through webpages this is the product.

Version: GreatFamily 2.2.2
Summary: A good value product.
One would add many missing features, but as a whole - it does what it said it would.
The web feature is great - yet, size consuming read more
