Pros
Easy to use initially.
Cons
Crashes often. When finally required a re-install, it refused my key as "invalid due to too many uses". Only used for one install. A third party manages the keys and they are totally uninterested in customer support. No response to requests for help.
Summary
I would not recommend this software for anyone. Earlier versions worked very well, but this latest variation is horrible from a user prospective.
Version 21.0.0.529 features TreeSync: access and update your family tree anytime and anywhere. When you link a desktop and online tree together, you can update either tree and then synchronize those changes into the other tree. Other new features include: combined family view, simplified interface for upgrades, improved Smart Stories, more chart options, new reports, new and updated help and tutorials.
