Leave a Review ReunionTouch
The best genealogy app regardless of platform.
I’ve been using Reunion since the 90’s and I really like the portably of Reunion when I’m out researching. Yes, out researching, you cannot to it sitting on your couch. The Dropbox enhancement of have your genealogy info and photos on all of your Apple devices is genius.silverhawk1
Dropbox App, NOT just dropbox account
They are still only allowing Dropbox sync, so very disappointed. As a customer since the 1st version, we’re now switching something that doesn’t require Dropbox.

Old:
The description here says you have to have a "Dropbox account" not that you have to install the Dropbox app on the Mac (which in Sept 2016) had some serious security concerns well documented online. So, is there a way to use this by just copying the files to dropbox (just copying for me sends dropbox a zip of the Reunion 11 folder and copying the package contents individually is not recognized by the app), minus the dropbox app? Otherwise, the description should be updated to accurately reflect reality that a dropbox account is not the only thing required so you don't waste nearly $10 on something you can't use.Show lessChristianRiley
I don't want Dropbox or any cloud
Useless without Dropbox. How many breaches would it take to convince Leister that we don't want to leave our data in someone else's hands?YrHmblSrvnt
Skeptical at First
I have been using Reunion since it was first released. When they switched to synchronization through Dropbox, I was skeptical and annoyed. However as I have always liked Reunion I just went along with it. It has been about two years now and I can honestly say that I love the Dropbox route. I have been able to synchronize and having ready access from anywhere in the world that has internet. Wasn’t interested in Dropbox but now I find that I am storing almost all of my genealogical research on it. As a precaution I periodically backup Dropbox to a local hard drive. I do wish that the folks at Reunion would allow us to use Apple’s iCloud instead.Show lesskeydash
Save your money
Have been using Reunion for many years but this app is a rip too far. Usually when an app updates it brings your data along to the new version. Not this one. The ONLY way to get your data from the old iPad app to this new one is to spend another $50 bucks to upgrade the desktop version and then sync to this app via Dropbox. Otherwise when you update your iPad to iOS 11 all your data from the old app disappears.
But for full disclosure they have now made this a universal app, if you use it on more than one device there is no additional charge for each device. Previously there was a separate charge for each device.Show lessHandyandy,jr

Trouble using dropbox. Old method of syncing easier. Dont use reunion any longer. Got familytree.marinegator
New version...New charge!
Integrates well with Mac version. Don't I like paying for each new version of Reunion everytime they make changes both on the moble and desktop. I think they should consider giving long time users a break! You would think that if you already payed for the app (and keep paying for each upgrade) that you shouldn't have to pay for each new upgrade on every device you use.Show lessLontime user
Easy to use. Love the app and Reunion
I already am a satisfied Reunion and Dropbox user and already had my family file in Dropbox to make sync between computers and devices seamless, so the app build on that functionality, which I appreciate.
I have added security to certain Dropbox files in mobile devices (use a passcode to open), so if this is your concern maybe this can work for the Reunion files too, although I haven't tried it myself.Show lessModernArtMom
Get rid of Dropbox
Great product until the recent update. Glad I waited so long to update. You got my $10. But you lost me as a customer.Doug U
Forces use of insecure dropbox
It's too bad that Leister doesn't respect our desire for the more secure option, which they had in the previous version - diect sync. Please bring this back for those of us who prefer to not put our family information into the cloud.jdashca
