There is so much more information you can keep on your own computer in this software than any online cloud program. It is also good for sharing your information in GEDCOM’s with other researchers. While I do not use this particular program there others on this list that do and can attest to it. The key to any program that is on your computer is to have a back up on a drive or other device or use a cloud backup.

Other products are on sale too: https://goo.gl/C93xVF You can download their Standard Edition (free) at www.legacyfamilytree.com See how you like it. I'm guessing the other companies will have sales too. Yes, Legacy is a Windows/PC software. Currently, you can use it if you are a Mac running VM Fusion, Parallels, and BootCamp (I think). I'm not a Mac user, but Kathy Cardoza is and she runs lots of Windows products on her Mac and uses Legacy. (Note: The Mac version of Legacy Family Tree is still under development as of August 2017). Why have a genealogy software program on your computer when you use Ancestry, My Heritage, Geni, FamilySearch, or whatever on the Internet? 1) You have more tools at your disposal. 2) You have more ways to analyze your data. 3) You can print charts 4) There's mapping features. 5) You can back it up to the Legacy cloud so if your computer goes on the blink, you'll have a back up. I'm sure there's many more. The online vendors are more of a family tree display. You can have your genealogy software program, create a Gedcom, and upload it to your online tree. Legacy syncs with My Heritage and FamilySearch (well, if you want it to).
