Additionally, Aeon Timeline provides the capability to visualize, analyze, and present legal cases effectively. Its user-friendly interface makes it a straightforward and adaptable choice for managing your next venture. The latest iteration, Aeon version 2, offers enhanced flexibility, enabling users to plan numerous projects and keep them updated over time.

    Very good piece of software, so close to being great

    Summary

    As I said in the title, it's a very good piece of software, so close to being great. I don't know any another software that does timelines so well so for me it's invaluable.

    The other review here is a bit harsh.

    Positive

    Surprisingly powerful timeline creator.
    Good price for such a complex piece of software.
    Great writing and story creation - syncing with Scrivener isn't a problem.
    Support is fine.
    The new narrative relationships spreadsheet is really useful.

    Negative

    Updates with new features and bug-fixes could be quicker
    Project management features are lacking - allocating time to individuals isn't practical if people aren't working full time on the task.
    More support attention to the forum would be nice.

    Very disappointing

    Date: Oct 31 2021
    Summary

    If you were a V2 user... You will be lost in the newer version since everything has changed. Accordingly to my experience, it is not a an upgrade from version 2, but a complete new software. Therefore the learning curve is very long... And you will find that you cannot do what you were able to do with the former version...

    Importing a V2 document in the V3 is useless if you were using former functions of the software such as web export, the display mode, showing the event ID in the timeline (in the form off numbers and subcategories such as 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, etc.) that are going to be only available in the spreadsheet mode in the # column... because the ID is now in another column (that can be shown on the timeline) but cannot be ordered in subcategories anymore. Therefore the ID is 1, 2, 3, 4 etc... Which I find useless to show in the timeline... For all such reasons, you better stick with V2 if you want to keep working on your former timeline.

    It might be interesting to look at the version 3 in the perspective of a new timeline software (just like if you were going to try a new software for your timeline, no matter if you were or not a AEON Timeline user before). It such case, you may want to test other software as well and see if other solutions are responding better to your needs... Since AEON Timeline is very expensive.

    And for such an expensive software, the problem is the future of the software... Will we be able to keep using our files in the version 4 ??? And that is the main problem with AEON Timeline and the developer is that there is no continuity between versions... A reality that you won't see from your preferred software for writing... that have been constantly improved by armies of developers at a much better price...

    Anyway... the main message of this review is that AEON timeline V2 and AEON timeline are good software... but two different ones... Therefore, you will feel that you have pay for two software and not an upgrade of the former version... and that makes it event more expensive... particularly if your are planning for the future because the following question remains : what is it going to happened with V4... and V5...

    Positive

    - Nice New looking interface;
    - Might be interesting if you never employed Aeon Timeline before and you need a timeline software.

    Negative

    1- Major issues between Version 2 and Version 3 :
    - Import of former work in the newer version is a real nightmare since many concept have drastically change in the V3 ;
    - The lost of web export function (that comes with a very not convincing justification) ;
    - Data lost (particularly in the display settings that doesn't exist anymore) ;
    - Vocabulary changes (ex. entities and events are becoming types... or Items... well it is not clear depending of the view or area of the software you're in) ;
    - Syncing with Scrivener and Ulysses is very complex when you import a V2 in V3, and you may here too lose some data.
    2- Very bad client services with almost impossible to obtain a refund (particularly if you buy the software directly from the producer... It might be different through other platform such as Apple Store.. I haven't experiment it), therefore make sure to test it before buying it directly from ;
    3- Very long learning curve if you were used to Version 2... The software is not an upgrade, but a complete new software.
    4- A strong lack in further development of the software.
