I hadn't heard of Funium Family Village, named as worst genealogy product of 2011. Tamura descibes it as "tedious and boring." He gives dishonourable mentions to Family Tree Maker 2012 "remarkably slow, memory-hungry and crash-prone" and
The Master Genealogist 8 referring to the report engine in which the previous version had "major shortcomings should be fixed for free."

John,
FYI: Tamura Jones isn't just another genealogist with 'a technology interest' like Dick Eastman, but the real deal, he's a computer scientist.
His genealogy application reviews are amazingly thorough and his yearly Geneawards are always spot on.
BTW, I am pretty sure it is he, not she.
No quibble with anyone's assessment of Tamura Jones (no relation), but Dick Eastman is a real deal too when it comes to technology. He's worked in the field for more than 40 years in a variety of capacities.
I think I'll take a peek at Mr. Jones. I currently subscribe to Eastman's Plus and really enjoy his postings.
