Family Tree Maker upgrade

[big g]

There is an offer at the moment to upgrade to 2019 F.T.M. - I would appreciate views from posters who have upgraded and those who have decided not to.

I've been using FTM for donkey's years and keep upgrading to the latest version. FTM2019 upgrade contains a lot of not very useful stuff - like weather forecasts for dates in the past.

But there is one thing in there which imo makes the upgrade worthwhile - rollback. FTM keeps a record of the last 1000 changes you made. If you discover you did something wrong you can rollback to a particular change, and redo as necessary. I've found it useful a couple of times.

There is a thing called treevault where you can store a backup of your tree - minus the media. Seems pretty pointless to me but I do all my own backups automatically to a cloud service.

So, all in all it's not really worth it in my opinion.

I've used FTM since 2006 but don't take advantage of all the upgrades.  I only upgrade every 5 or 6 years and manage ok the rest of the time.
