Timeline Maker Professional creates clear, impressive scheduling charts in minutes.
The program's interface is professional and welcoming, starting with some helpful tutorials and moving on to an intuitive layout at every turn. The program feels like operating a calendar system, like the one found on Microsoft Outlook, but its results look very different. After entering in event information like start and stop times, you see a clear timeline of your event. Each step is shown in a highly readable text bubble along a timeline. It is easy to see when each step was happening thanks to the color-coded system. This would be useful for outlining time-sensitive projects in an office or for personal organization. In addition, you can look at your event as a text-based schedule, which seems more printer-friendly. The program also has a feature to change the theme of the timelines with a few dozen different skins. Overall, the program is simple to operate and we loved the easily read results.
Timeline maker Professional has a 30-day trial. It installs desktop icons without permission. We recommend it.

Version: Timeline Maker Professional 2.1
"Not for medium or serious projects / litigators beware."
Pros: Barely anything, Progeny attempts to offer this software to the legal profession and it can only handle a few events before it slows down dramatically. The user interface is a rudimentary version of Excel spreadsheet w/o the flexibility.
Cons: After about 100 events the software performance slows down dramatically, we've tried every and the fastest PC's in our office including contemporary Quad core CPU's operating on SSD's and the presentation still drags. Powerpoint integration sucks
Summary: The inability to just remove certain columns in the schema makes it frustrating, along with poor performance when trying to populate with any serious projects.
It was advertised to us a litigation solution but after 100 events from a mal practi... read more >> - See all 2 user reviews Write review
