Heredis Reviewer's Comments

MAC ONLY

Heredis 7.2 - The Standard Edition is available by download free of charge. With no limits to data entry, it offers all the necessary features for preliminary appraisal of the program. The Premium Edition is equipped with a complete range of powerful tools which the confirmed genealogist requires from a professional program. It can be downloaded for a price of $ 29.90.

Heredis is now only available for MAC in English. The Windows version is no longer downloadable.

Feature Set:  

Heredis has charting capabilities, good reports, the ability to create a multimedia CD_ROM of your genealogy file (which can then be read by any computer), a complete Internet site publishing your data over a variety of dynamic pages, intelligent media management allowing the association of any type of media with any data type, a descendant family wheel and a unique 3D feature, but the best features to look for in genealogy software are storage, tracking organization and logical display of your data. If genealogy software does not succeed in these areas, using it will be a frustrating experience (see product comparisons) .

Ease of Use:  

Heredis will be challenging for the beginning genealogist.

Reporting & Publishing:  

This product is very easy to install. No problems.

Help/Documentation:  

Heredis has several options to offer for help. A User Guide, Content-Index-Search, FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions), and Heredis Help Online. For Tech Support, email: support@myheredis.com

Summary:  

Overall, Heredis does have some powerful features for the more experienced researcher and the price is good. For the beginning genealogist or weekend warrior it may be more challenging than you want to deal with.

Heredis also has a version for Mac users—Heredis Mac X
