Review of Reunion 9 at MacGasm.net

Grant Brünner at Macgasm.net has put together a review of Reunion 9 as part of his “Genealogy on your Mac” series. He took a look at the user experience / user interface and talked a bit about it.

He also took a look at syncing up your Reunion 9 genealogy data with your iPhone (or iPod touch/iPad) using Leister Productions’ Reunion iPhone application. He brings up the point that you do need to be on the same network and do have to have both Reunion on the desktop/laptop and Reunion on the iPhone if you want to sync up your data.

Macworld Reviews Reunion 9

For the second time in a week, Jeffery Battersby at Macworld has reviewed another Mac genealogy application, this time it’s Reunion 9.04, a popular Mac OS X genealogy application that recently underwent a major overhaul. Jeff mentioned “Pod Cards” which allows you to export your genealogy files/notes to your iPod and view them on there (text only). They gave it five out of five mice, saying:

It’s been four years since the last major release of Reunion, Leister Productions’ beautifully designed and easy-to-use genealogy program. The latest version adds dozens of new features and enhances dozens more, resulting in more than 100 updates to an already excellent program.
