Any chance of this happening or can I only reach my goal by going to Family Tree Maker?

The app has lots of stuff--lots of views and gyrations and some of them are even useful. But, what it doesn't have is speed. It is dogggg slowwww. It kills me. I fought with it twice for an hour and aargh! I can't stand it.
Please, please, please make the Mac version as high of a priority as you can.
Thanks!

The one thing that would cement my relationship with RM is a native Mac version, especially if there were some kind of simple syncing with the iPad version (Dropbox?). Please, please, jack up the priority of the Mac version!

Legacy is now previewing things coming in their next version, and I find I'm being tempted to switch back!
I am the first to push for development so I jumped over again to read about these exciting new things and do believe you need to dig a little deeper into Rootsmagic or buy the full version if you are using Essentials.
Things like Shared Events, Place Details, Problem Alerts, Migration Mapping, Family Search Family Tree, Colour coding etc. which are being blogged for the competitions new version release later this year are all within Rootsmagic NOW and some of them have been there for many years.
However never missing a chance to crack the whip I would say it is simply time to "leap ahead" again with the next version of Rootsmagic.

Keeping ones customers and their important views at a distance is never a good approach

I'm aware that many of those features are in Roots Magic already; in fact, my wife has been using RM for a few years, and was quick to tell me. I'm still more comfortable in Legacy just because it is familiar, but the features in RM that Legacy lacked made it seem as if the effort to learn new software was worth the effort. But if Legacy is "catching up", offering the same features, maybe I should just stick with Legacy. The thing that would tip the scale permanently, for me, would be a native Mac version...of either RM or L.

Now that FSFT is up and running well, please give a pending release date for RM6 for Mac OS X. You have it for the iPhone and iPad (iOS).
I continue ot use RM6 under WineSkin and Mavericks, because it plays better (locks up less) than under Win7 on my Mac using VirtualBox.

Another person I know personally bought a Touchscreen PC with Win8 because they were tired of fighting with RM6 on a Mac. Oh the humanity!

But the iPhone version is just a "read only" subset of RM - whereas I guess that you, and others, would want the full product on a Mac? Perhaps Renee would tell us whether the high priority Mac version is a Full product or not? MVS.

Apps use a totally different programming language, just because we have an iOS app doesn't mean it has anything to do with running on a Mac computer. Programs and apps are not interchangeable.

The Mac version that is under development is the full version program of RootsMagic. It's a complete rewrite of the RootsMagic software using programming tools that will write the Windows and Mac version at the same time. So they will be identical.
Wow, that's big news - not so much the Mac version, because that's already been talked about so much, but the fact that the Windows version is undergoing a complete rewrite.

Well in that case it would also be interesting to know whether RM Version 7 is going to be the combined Mac/Windows product or whether there is still an independent development path on the RM product? MVS.
