Tap Forms Organizer 5 Database for Positive User Reviews

Great database app just got betterI have loved this database app (on both MacOS and IOS) since I migrated several years ago following the demise of Bento. Version 5 is a great step forward and it is now a very mature and stable app. I really love how well the new Cloudant syncing works - very fast, seamless across all platforms and with absolute data integrity - it just 'happens'. A delight after years of battling with the iCloud syncing of V4. I know a lot of people have complained about having to migrate to Cloudant but they shoudl just do it - it’s free, easy to setup and REALLY works seasmlesly. Support online is also best in class. This app is worth every cent. Well done Tap Zapp..Version: 5.0.4

Fantastic product!!!! Delivers what's promised.I have used this app in the past to track many types of information. Version 5 is just another great step up! Lots of great and easy to use features that allow you to build custom forms that cross connect and have super flexibility in terms of field attributes. We run a small home business and use Tap Forms to hold all our key info from customers to inventory to invoices. Super flexible but with power! The synch function works beautifully between my families iOS devices. Data entered across town or another city is instantly updated on all devices. The support is second to none that I have experienced. Answers are fast and clear. Thanks guys!!! Awesome job!!.Version: 5.1.2

Excellent App!!!I tried out the free trial on the Mac and it instantly reminded me of Bento, which I used to use years many years back, although this is much more advanced. I primarily wanted this on my iPhone though so had a play on my Mac and found it did exactly as I wanted. I then purchased the iPhone app and I have to say, it is really great! It is a delight to use, very flexible indeed and also simple to use once you find your way around. I also downloaded it onto my iPad and set up the syncing and, hey presto, all of my data now syncs back and forth. I did have some syncing issues early on but on switching to the Nearby Sync service, all seems fine now. I also purchased the Mac version as well now. Again the synchronisation works well. It looks great on all devices as well - especially the photo grid view. It’s a bit more expensive than most of the apps I have purchased but it is easy to use, powerful and really useful - and definitely worth every penny! Very responsive developer too. A well thought out, mature tool indeed, which is a joy to use. Great job guys! Look forward to seeing what you do with it next..Version: 5.3.12

My longest serving app!I’ve had Tap Forms pretty much as long as I’ve had an iPhone! It’s one of those apps that I rely on daily and find its flexibility, intuitiveness and attention to detail to be spot on. I used it for all sorts of data storage needs and sync between a couple of devices without any issues. The ability to sync locally between devices is particularly appreciated in an age where many apps want you to upload sensitive data to the “cloud”. With data syncing via Tap Forms I get all the advantages of cloud like shared data with none of the personal privacy concerns 👍🏼 Keep up the good work Brendan - long may you continue to enjoy the success this app so richly deserves 😄.Version: 5.3.12

Wouldn’t be without Tap FormsAs other reviewers have referred to, I used to love Bento for its simplicity. Tap Forms is the nearest product to Bento but its capabilities are massively better, it’s so easy to use, and it syncs seamlessly between by MacBook, iPad Pro and iPhone. Wouldn’t be without Tap Forms..Version: 5.3.25

Really good database!I’d give it 5 stars, but it’s just a bit difficult to figure out at first. However, once I got past that, I’m very happy. I had the original version, and since I’m not really a power user, I’ve stuck with that one until just recently. But, I contacted the developer with a question, he got right back to me, and answered my question without telling me I needed to upgrade. Along with that is the fact, that it’s not a subscription! If nothing else, I wanted to give him some support. But, I also noticed that he has some upgrades planned for the future so I’d like to keep up with that. It now has a relational database, and that makes it very powerful. If you like working with databases, I highly recommend this one. (Mine is only for personal use, but a business can buy the desktop version (even better) and sync it to the iPad—iPhone, as well.).Version: 5.2.8

Flexible and reliableHave been using Tap Forms for many years Very functional and easy to use. The support is first class..Version: 5.3.5

Great app, and a very helpful developerThis is a great database app. Very capable, but easy to use and set up. Personally, I have used this app for years, and very rarely had any problems with it. On the rare occasions where I have had a minor problem, the developer has been VERY quick to address it. Well worth the money, and well worth the five stars!.Version: 5.3.27

It’s very good but a bit more complex than I needVery stable and reliable and records are easily accessible - any problems come from faulty input. I keep a complex database of all the films we’ve watched on TV over the last 30 years or so and a (very detailed)list of TV series that we’re watching, have watched, given up on or got cancelled. I started with a hand-written note book, then a Psion, then when that fell to bits I used Bento. I’ve got quite a few lists, which are easy to maintain, but having created the DB some years ago I can’t remember how I did it! Easy to add data but I’d suggest you make a note of how to edit the size of fields..Version: 5.3.21

Works well with iMac versionGreat app, on the go I can check my main iMac database. Cool. Probably edit too on the go, but to be honest not tried this; so far just been viewing. Great customer support!! Thanks.Version: 5.3.28

Wonderfully useful appThere are relatively few good relational databases available for the Mac. Tapforms does a great job of filling in this hole, and does it very well. The program is quite powerful, offering a number of very useful features which help one to easily organize, and very importantly, find and use the data they have stored. A variety of record types are available to allow the users to include all types of data and features including images, URLs, check boxes, numbers, and many more. I have yet to find anything I want to do with organizing data that I could not. I should also mention that the Mac version is fully able to interact and Sync with the iOS versions, and although the iOS versions are slightly different, due to the differences in their formats, the data created is easily worked with and used on all the platforms it supports. Finally, there is the customer support. It is phenomenal. The developer is very willing to communicate with users, assist with issues, and help the users in many ways. This is in addition to a very thorough and comprehensive online manual providing detailed information on how to use the Apps many features. This is a really good program and I highly recommend it..Version: 5.3.30

Database & PasswordsI continue to see various apps for securely storing passwords. All make the same security claims. Tap Forms does all this PLUS it is an outstanding, customizable database for anything you want to store! It can hold your household inventory, movie collection … literally ANYTHING you wish to keep track of. I highly recommend this app !!.Version: 5.3.24

Brilliant, 5 star perfect.Simple yet fully functional enough for 99% of use cases. Better than Bento. Just a few odd things like no repeating all day event option available, but otherwise it’s regularly updated so a good purchase.Version: 5.3.12

Brilliant AppI bought this when Bento was discontinued, the transfer from the Bento database was straightforward and the app has many additional useful features. Easy to use and very intuitive. The online help is very good and the email response to any queries fast and helpful. I don’t usually write reviews but this app is worth one!.Version: 5.3.20

Finally! An organizer I can use on all my platforms!Since the demise of Bento, I’ve struggled to find a replacement. Well, this isn’t a replacement, it is a major leap forward in capabilities. I imported my old Bento template & was able to customize it even further. Now I can easily take photos on my phone right from the app & when I return to my desktop all the photos are there & data entered. I share seamlessly between my tablet, phone & desktop. Now I’m working on new databases to organize other parts of my life, drawing from the vast collection of shared templates already online. Truly a game changer! Thanks Tap Forms!.Version: 5.3.19

ExcellentAfter losing Bento I could not find a simple database program that worked for me. I ended up paying the HUGE price for filemaker. That is a good program but never really intended for the simple needs of an average home user. It was difficult to learn and did not just synch with my ipad in the background. Tap Forms has been very good. I have had problems with errors with cloudant but it synched instantaneously between my computer and Ipad. I plan to set up ICloud synch soon. I had a few other questions that I emailed support about and received VERY QUICK responses each time. I am extremely happy with this program/App. Well worth the price..Version: 5.1.2

ExcellentI’ve been using Tap Forms for a few years now and find its brilliant for a database, it does everything I need it to. Well happy and can’t recommend it enough. Also if you have any issue the customer service is second to none.. with personnel help even after work hours.. would be nice to have multiple photos in custom mode but i guess there’s a reason why we cant as its been mentioned a few times in the past. Keep up the good work Brendan..Version: 5.3.30

Tapforms- a great product for archaeological data recording and management in the field.We have been using Tapforms over a number of years to record archaeological data on excavations in Orkney using iPads. The system is extremely user friendly for designing forms and the ability to add photographic records or drawings within a form provides an excellent recording platform. The designer is extremely helpful and responsive to questions..Version: 5.3.27

Excellent app, always improving, amazing supportTap Forms is a powerful and flexible database that’s well designed and has a deep feature set. I use it for all kinds of varied tasks and it has great integration with iOS system functions like the contacts list and calendar. It’s easy to use and if you ever have a question or feature request, the developer is extremely responsive and goes above and beyond to help with whatever you’re trying to do..Version: 5.3.19

Not Perfect, Merely IndispensableI use Tap Forms for exactly its intended purpose — managing many different small databases of stuff in my life: my books, my software serial numbers, and so on — all synced between my Mac and multiple iOS devices via iCloud. It’s not a perfect app, the UI is a little clunky and occasionally I run across a minor bug, but it absolutely does that job and does it well. Moreover the backend side of things is rock solid, so I have no qualms about putting my precious data in its hands. Honestly, it’s hard to imagine my electronic life without it..Version: 5.2.2

Powerful CRM for an indie sales repI had to find a way to keep track of all my leads & customers across the country, knowing who has purchased from each of the 4 companies I sell for. This system allows me to not only track all of that, but I can see where they are all located on a map and I can track all my income & expenses in one place. Thanks!.Version: 5.3.24

Very usefulI use this for film shoot logs, it’s versatile, easy to set up and syncs between my iPad and iPhone. The export PDF setting doesn’t seem to include images, which is a real shame. Other than that, it’s excellent and worth every penny. The developer support has also been better than any other app I’ve ever used. 5 stars, 6 if export PDFs show images in an update! Great work. Thank you!.Version: 5.3.20

Excellent App with Great SupportHas loads of features and is regularly updated. I tested the competition and I’m happy to say that this beats all of them. Well done on a brilliant app and I hope there is many new features on the roadmap..Version: 5.3.15

More than FormsLike many other small businesses looking for solutions to workflows and data management I have tried many. They all fall short and you end up buying several, data gets gradually eroded, management harder. THIS IS THE BUSINESS! I downloaded a trial, it was immediately apparent that it was a great product, I quickly bought the full version and app version for all my devices. I run a gps tracking company and need to collect Imei numbers, sim details and so this by barcode scanning into fields. It was so good I built a CRM and can merge data with my device and sim databases. Truly brilliant product, well done to Brendan Duddridge 👍🏻.Version: 5.3.5

Such a Useful AppDon’t know where I’d be without Tap Forms. Makes it so easy to create custom record logs. I use it for tracking presents I receive for Christmas/Birthday (so I don’t forget who to thank for what), takeaway ratings, airline legroom comments, board game scores, Cider ratings, viewed houses (when house hunting) and so much more. Don’t know of any other app like it..Version: 5.2.4

DependableI had been using the previous legacy version of Tapforms for the last 10 years, without any issues. But now with the update of iOS 16 it is time to upgrade to this newer version 5. I migrated all my existing forms easily, and I can continue with Tapforms. I just have a simple form, but I use it every day and can depend on it. Thank you..Version: 5.3.30

I just love itI’ve found this database so easy to use in its latest form. Having total control over the layout and format of each database is just what I needed. The sync between IOS and my Mac is stable and quick. Being able to have relationships between tables I find helps with repetitive inputs. For me Tapforms is a winner..Version: 5.3.14

Brilliant App and Outstanding supportThis app is what I’ve been looking for, it’s not a crazily priced subscription, it’s a great value powerful database. It has great depth and capability, I’m still learning about it as I go and this is where it gets really good, the Developer is extremely responsive and helpful, Brendan goes out of his way to assist you, he generally gets back to you within the same day if not instantly, seriously impressive! Well done to him! Easiest 5* review I’ve done..Version: 5.3.30

Brilliant App with Excellent SupportI've used this app now for a number of years and have found it to be extremely reliable, fexible and it is backed up by truly spectacular support - MacOS and iOS versions work smoothly together too. Highly recommend it..Version: 5.3.21

Continues to perform faultlesslyHave used Tap Forms since Bento died. Does everything I need. Love the range of different data bases that can be created. I run diaries, logbooks, finance records, inventory, travel planners etc. Please keep it in active development! I would be lost without Tap Forms. Sync between iPhone and iPads is very reliable..Version: 5.3.5

Keeps on getting betterLove this app. Can customise it for so many uses. For a small business owner I can use it for invoices, managing expenses and mileage. So many great uses. Excellent update. The new sync service is far more reliable and almost instant. I have used the new version since launch and have found it much better that the previous. Great companion to the Mac app with the ability to add entries 'on the road' and have them appear across devices..Version: 5.3.7

The bestThis is the best of the sort and many useful features! Highly recommend. Love the apple watch compatibility as well!.Version: 5.3.9

Pretty powerfulThis is a nice little database app. There’s plenty of features, a good range of field types, and best of all - great syncing with the Mac desktop version. The developer provides very good support too. The UI is very occasionally a bit confusing, and I’ve also had a couple of times where it doesn’t update the screen based on the just added data. But there’s never been any data loss, so these aren’t IMO a big problem. I don’t think there’s anything that can beat it for iOS..Version: 5.3.18

This IS the best database appI am a previous database systems administrator and designer. I have used mobile database apps like Bento, Handbase etc. Unequivocally, this is THE best mobile database application out there. Not only that, but the support is excellent also. Worth every penny/cent of the purchase price..Version: 5.3.20

Flexible db App for the Over-Organized SetI’m a geek for lists and tracking everything from my hours and conditions on the job to group membership lists and process checklists. Tap Forms allows for a lot of customization and even reconfiguration after you have data entered. I’m still getting used to the various display options and feel like there may be some limitations there, and the synch is a little fussy if you’re working on various devices. There is definitely room to improve, but if nothing changed, this would still be a top choice for me..Version: 5.3.11

FantasticBrilliant and fast app for recording my glaze research ( ceramics ). I really like the ability to add photos to a record - but it would be even better if that could be expanded slightly to allow some basic editing ( eg crop ) and maybe even basic markup - eg highlighting / labels / arrows. Also it would be great to have a way to share a specific record or table of records with some one who doesn’t have the app. Eg if I could send them a link to view a record in browser ? Just a thought Thank you for making such a great app :).Version: 5.2.3

It just worksI would recommend this app to anybody who wants to have their data on more than one device. The synchronization of data is seamless plus you have several choices on how you want to synchronize your work. I use the app a lot and have had very few problems, the couple of times I have contacted the developer my concerns have been looked after sometimes the same day. Best thing I can say about this App is I would definitely buy it again. Lynn.Version: 5.2.8

No tutorial, but not that hardAt first I was put off by the lack of help or tutorials. Having done forms with other programs, I was able to figure it out. For some reason, the first pick list wouldn’t populate with values and I thought this app was trash. However, upon closing and reopening, the lists were fine. I am creating forms on my iPad and wish I could arrange fields horizontally as well as vertically. But overall, this is a useful app. I’m looking forward to finding more uses for it..Version: 5.3.20

Wonderful toolAfter losing a huge database because of a FileMaker upgrade glitch, which they never offered support for or a fix except buying a very expensive new version; a few weeks ago I found Tap Forms 5 for Mac, what a relief! It works very well, I created a custom form for an artist database, the app makes it very easy and the developers offer quick support if there’s any problem. It syncs with iCloud so after buying the iOS version the database can travel with the artist and sync seamlessly with the desktop Mac. Yes you need to buy the desktop and the iOS separately but it is worth it. Pretty awesome..Version: 5.3.21

Finally, no more Filemaker MiseryI am thrilled after using this app for a few hours, I initially took one star off the review score only because repeated attempts to join the Tap Forms online community failed, making it impossible to access some templates and ask stupid questions of experienced users! The developer got in touch straight away to sort the problem out, so I bumped it up to 5 stars, thanks. I used to love FileMaker when I was a full time student and I could justify the quasi annual upgrade costs but after finishing my IT “career” due to much of our work in Australia being outsourced for about $10 per hour I discovered that finding the money every year or so became a source of pain and misery. I have only just begun to use Tap Forms 5 and I am very happy and quite relieved to find that this app is easy to use, while it seems very different to FileMaker, I’m able to build useful relational files easily and quickly. I find that my tendency to jump straight in and design and build on-the-fly is not overly punished by this app, and I can’t wait to spend some time setting up some databases to run my handyman business. I can’t think of another app that integrates so well with the Mac/IO S ecosystems and at the price you can get the two integrated apps for, it’s a total no-brainer giving these apps a try if you’re hanging out to dump the FileMaker addiction!.Version: 5.3.9

5 years of useWe have used the app for 5 years in our business and find it terrifically useful. It is flexible and generally can do anything we need to keep track of our clients. Much more user friendly and handy than other more expensive database apps that are allegedly easy to work. Works great on iPhone & ipad. One super bonus is great support and updates that actually do good things. Best value app list for us. Thanks Brendan.Version: 5.3.21

Cataloguing Artworks with Tap Forms 5As the descendants of a fine Ontario artist, Bertha M. Ingle ( www.berthamayingle.ca ), and as custodians of many of her artworks, we have a desire to catalogue all her works that we know of, along with a wide range of detailed information about each work. Tap Forms 5 has proven ideal for this purpose. What we need is a reliable, powerful, flexible, intuitively easy-to-use database program that can work with a wide range of information. There are, first, the fundamental parameters of any artwork such as the medium used, the support material, the dimensions, the presence or absence of a signature, whether framed, etc. But as our project has progressed there have been many additional details to include: aspects such as identification of the subject locale or persons depicted, the history of conservation work, date and locations of exhibition showings, provenance, likely date, publication in external documents, etc, etc. Tap Forms 5 can handle the large volume of information; it is easy to expand; it allows the number of fields to be extended or their contents expanded when necessary; and there is a wide range of formats in which information can be recorded (check boxes, radio buttons, tables, attached documents, text notes, and more). Especially crucial for artworks is the ability to include one or more thumbnail images of each work, and to add to these as works are conserved or newly framed (keeping the ‘before’ as well as the ‘after’ images). With the known works by Ingle numbering in the hundreds, finding particular works could be a challenge. The ability in Tap Forms 5 to perform instant searches based on any of the database information has proved invaluable many times in making searches efficient and accurate. Tap Forms 5 has proven an indispensable tool for our project. Its ability to run on several different platforms makes our database portable and accessible in different contexts. Technical support has been exemplary, with every question or issue addressed promptly and successfully, every suggestion treated seriously. Highly recommended!.Version: 5.3.12

The only database app worth usingI’ve tried many database apps on iOS, maybe all of them. None of them compare to Tap Forms. Hands down the best out there. Worth every penny.Version: 5.3.19

WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN AND MORE!TAP FORMS ORGANISER is your own filing cabinet of personal and business files, photos, records, lists, addresses, dates, any data you need to store and look up in a second. Your data syncs across all your devices so your "filing cabinet" is mirrored in all your rooms, whenever you make an addition or change. It's totally customisable to suit your individual needs, and I don't just mean the background colours and fonts. You design your own forms for all the infomation you need to fill or you can use those alrady made for you. All you've got to do is fill in your data and there it is, on all your devices, safe, sound and accessible! Easy to learn, tutorials and excellent personal support and a knowledgable expert forum too. You'll wonder how you ever got through the day without it!.Version: 5.3.30

Simple yet do everything databaseI have been a user and builder of various including FileMaker Pro over the years and while having simple database fields to collect values was easy, the difficult stuff (linked forms, scripting etc) became very difficult if not impossible. FileMaker Pro is a very nice tool, but the cost of ownership puts it out of the league of the ambitious home user and building a simple app that could collect data on the iPhone / iPad and then sync with the MAC became even more expensive, then I discovered TAPFORMs. The functionality of the product has gone from strength to strength over the many years I’ve used it and moved with the various upgrades. TAPFORMs is a first rate product with all the functionality you could wish for. I use it to record vehicle fuel consumption on my iPhone at the fuel station, but in particular for my Home inventory. The linked forms capability allows me to enter insurance and location details once only and always have them referenced against an item. I also use the JavaScript to update my calendar to notify me when a warranties item is due to expire. It does what it says on the tin. Great product!.Version: 5.3.20

Great stuff! High quality database for a fair price.I have been a long-time user of FileMaker Pro. But, I was getting sick and tired of paying $$$ every year or two just to keep one or two databases up-to-date. I found Tap Forms and have been very impressed with the stability and organization of the product. It has everything I need and, when I run into a roadblock, the forums are there to help. The developer is very responsive and helpful. The support for JavaScript is an amazing feature of this product. It is capable of so much that I know I am just scratching the surface of its power. Synchronization works as advertised. Databases can be encrypted. The only thing outstanding for me is that custom layouts are not supported for iOS and iPadOS. This is a shame because portable devices are used so frequently and one of the most common use cases for many people is mobile entry of data. The developer has stated these will be worked on… Time will tell. (Note that regular layouts still work just fine on mobile, they are just not customizable like they are on the Mac. This is something I would pay extra for.) Bottom line: for most Mac and iOS/iPadOS users, Tap Forms is the only database they will ever need..Version: 5.3.18

One of the few apps-I-can’t-function withoutI use it for grocery lists, to track pet care, to track pet vaccinations, to inventory household goods, to track credit card info, to keep track of my Enbrel injections, to track how often I change whole house water filters and air filters in devices in each room, to track how often I change my estring, to track workouts — I could go on and on. I use it for everything. My data syncs across iPhone, two iPads and my Macbook Pro. It all just works, beautifully. It is _the_ database app for both mac os and iOS. Period..Version: 5.3.30

What a boon!I am a medical practitioner and for years I struggled to find a database which would allow me to save key details of teaching cases in an organized, easily searchable database. TapForms 5 does all that and more. Being able to sync via the cloud to my various devices (iMac at home, MacAir at work and IPad on the road) is another invaluable feature. Keep developing this program please. I am now addicted.Version: 5.3.20

Tap forms 5I don’t quite get the negative reviews on here. I think people are expecting way more than what can be delivered with an app that is running up against a full blown MS SQL application. I have used it for years and love the features offered and the excellent support. The app is constantly being maintained. Not like several that are here today and gone tomorrow. Remember the iPad is NOT a Desktop or Laptop replacement despite what Apple claims. So stop all the complaining and thank the developer for taking the time to create an App that is probably the best DB application in the App Store..Version: 5.2.1

SynchronisedHi. I love Tapforms and use it to store and share (with Wife) our household documents and bills. I do however wish that syncing between our two devices was a bit more seamless. I have tried IBM cloud but despite creating an account i found it too difficult and gave up, now rely on opening both copies and use Wi-Fi peer to peer. Is the a chance that you can make sharing easier so that my wife has automatic updates without me having to manually perform the synchronisation..Version: 5.3.30

À recommander sans hésitation...Si vous n'êtes pas disposé à payer le gros prix pour une licence Filemaker, voici l'application qu'il vous faut. Tap Forms n'a évidemment pas la puissance de Filemaker, mais pour des besoins individuels comme les miens (versus ceux d'une entreprise), l'application est parfaite. Simple, imaginative, parfaitement intégrée à l'environnement Apple, elle répond pratiquement à tous mes besoins. De plus, les videos de présentation (en anglais seulement toutefois) réduisent de beaucoup le temps d'apprentissage. En quelques jours, j'ai maîtrisé l'utilisation de l'application et à l'aide des commandes d'importation, j'ai pu convertir tous mes fichiers Filemaker. Je possède aussi la version macOS de l'application et la synchronisation entre tous les appareils (iPhone, iPad et iMac) fonctionne très bien. Bravo!.Version: 5.1.2

Great app, great supportThis app is indispensable to me for keeping easy track of data I need to gather and access. And it doesn’t seem to matter what time of day it is, if I have a question, Brendan always replies so quickly. Thanks, Brendan!.Version: 5.3.20

Life Changing and the very best support imaginableTap Forms has replaced a myriad of apps, everything from timesheets (was paying monthly subscriptions, home inventory, artwork, health /l& medical, contact management to our video game library, you name it! If you need to create a MacOS application and want it on your iOS device, synchronized across all your devices, all behind the scenes then this is the the perfect database solution for you. It is like FileMaker Pro but so much easier to learn, use and improve on. You can incorporate scripting, create relational tables, custom forms, custom searches & reports and so much more. I have used this to create business applications for clients and they love it! Minimal training and absolutely so simple to use. After I spent time with Tap Forms, I found it could literally replace a dozen or more separate applications that just did an ok job to a vastly superior customized and personalized solution for me. And it evolves as you do. I continually improve and develop in tap forms ways to make my life easier! It even integrates with the reminders app for creating tasks lists with alerts and calendar! The developer’s support is absolutely incredible. Clear, rapid and professional responses and goes above and beyond to assist in any way possible. Add in a very established website knowledge base and a massive community of users, and you have an infallible solution. Get it, you’ll never regret it..Version: 5.3.21

Luv itI am running Tapforms on iPhone, iPad and iMac m1, using neaby syncing, so my partner can share the joy. TapForms blows away the competition, it is easy to learn, intuitive and flexible for all the lifestyle data we use it for. Bravo Brendan, keep up the good work on TapForms! The customer support is also exemplary!.Version: 5.3.30

I use this app almost every dayI use this app for work almost every day. It just keeps getting better. I use it to organize the notes I take on my meetings with individual students in my animal training lab classes. It is obvious that the developer is constantly working to improve this app because I notice continual improvements in the speed of operations. On the rare occasion when I have encountered a problem, the developer has been super responsive..Version: 5.2

Best database for iOSI have been a long time user. I was a bento refugee looking for a new program when I found tapforms. I loved this program and put everything in it. Then came the last big update. I was a bit confused by the new setup and hit several glitches ad wasn't able to import my data correctly I was disappointed. I went back to my old tap forms and left the new one to bake for awhile longer. True to form the developer cleaned up the bugs and had things running smoothly in short order. He is very responsive to customers. In short. It works great now and I'm glad to see iCloud sync back. Was not a fan of the ibm sync system..Version: 5.1.2

Tap Forms Organizer 5I have been looking for a database to replace my old version of Filemaker Pro that hasn't been supported for years, and no longer works and more recent OS. I finally found one that is reasonable cost, does exactly what I want. And beyond that the support and hand holding I've gotten while trying to understand and use the database (I have both the desktop Mac version as well as IOS) has been beyond outstanding. The developer responds quickly and thoughtfully to questions and concerns, and really goes the extra step - no extra mile to help. As someone who has only used databases in a basic way, and no background in scripting, the help I have received in setting up a couple of databases has been nothing short of phenomenal. I can't recommend this software highly enough..Version: 5.3.21

Does what you want!As a very critical User, I’ve been using this app for several years to keep all kinds of information including notes, pictures and recordings and in all the things I’ve done with it, it has done reliably. It can be used on the iPhone, iPad and there is the Macbook version also. In an age where people are overly trusting to put all their data in the Cloud, this is one of the few apps they allow you to instantaneously sync between your MacBook and your iPhone/iPad so you can safely store your data locally too Definitely deserves five stars..Version: 5.3.7

Extremely usefulI’ve been using this excellent software for years on both a Mac and an iPad. It’s used for a variety of purposes from simple record keeping to maintaining personal information requiring lots of date calculations. The scripting functionality is very good and continues to be enhanced. Data updates synch smoothly across my devices..Version: 5.3.29

Brilliant Database and OrganiserThe best of them all. Highly adaptable, configurable and useable! I'm a long term user and love the new direction v5 is taking us..Version: 5.0.2

Absolutely Love it!I have been looking for a way to track my contacts and clients - and this app meets ALL my needs - so easy to use, pre set fields!!! Thank you for creating this APP!!! It's Incredible !!!.Version: 5.0.8

The Best and Most Powerful Database for iOSUse this everyday. Have not come across a function or use case this can't handle..Version: 5.1.2

I am so thankful for a database I can share across devices.If you are tired of having information everywhere then this is for you..Version: 5.3.30

A database for all seasonsI used to be a FileMaker fan, great for creating all sorts of systems, until the silly price crunch. Out of my pocket. Then along comes TapForms. Reasonably simple, definitely fast, easy cross device updating, in fact if there is any issue it is me having to forget the last couple of years on an alternative. Support is absolutely brilliant and Brendan could not be more helpful. Well done and keep up the good work..Version: 5.3.22

Exactally what I was looking for.I had been searching for a database that I could use for my business. I needed to keep lots of personal information and then be able to print certificates and reports. Tapforms does all of this and does it very well. Early on, I had a question/ problem and sent the developer an email. He responded within minutes. Turns out it was something I was not doing correctly. He nicely explained how I should approach my problem. Problem solved. BTW, I tried numerous other databases, using their trial versions ( I even bought a couple) nothing I tried could compare to the features in Tapforms. Thank you for a GREAT product..Version: 5.2.1

Does the JobYears ago when I previously had an iPhone I bought this app. I just bought it again. It remains useless if you use Microsoft Access. While it is easy to import a csv it is a nightmare to append to it or sync an Access file. I keep trying this app since it is a nice interface but there is a competitor who has a sync which will import and easily append using a csv... And with a bit more effort will sync with Access. Update The developer was responsive and while he did not resolve the issue he sent me down the right path. Importing the csv from Access... Export as Excel Then save Excel as comma delimited csv On tap forms set automatic as format (this is very important) Import Since I only use as read only I can re import by deleting all records and import again. Upping rating to 4 stars since syncing to Access is not possible. But for what I need this for it does the job..Version: 5.2.8

I like and worth whileKeeps data neatly in forms, that are easy to create and use, there's an array of existing forms to use as well, syncs rather differently to the iPhone/iPad/iMac and I suppose it's a little safer as you have a couple of backups, They've done a there homework producing a worth while app,.Version: 5.0.2

Awesome app and developerI recently purchased this app a few weeks ago and have had some time to get familiar with it and I have to say that this database app is awesome! I’m using it to keep up with parts inventory and have since discovered a few other uses for it. I was having an issue, that Brendan had replied to very promptly, and after a few email exchanges he was able to figure out what was going on and it ended up being something that was user error. I highly recommend this app, not just for the product itself but also for the support that comes with the purchase..Version: 5.3.7

Very satisfiedTAP FORMS Is able to handle large datasets quite easily on the IPad, and the import and export functions are very good, with lots of flexibility. While this isn’t a full relational database, you can still view relations between tables/forms. It would be nice if you could customize views (as you seem to be able to on the Mac), but I was still able to get close to what I wanted. The flexible search tool allows you to effectively query your tables across multiple fields - and for lots of applications this will provide simple and elegant solutions to many data management problems. I also want to add that the developer was really responsive and helpful - the best consumer experience I can imagine. Thanks Brendan!.Version: 5.3.19

Great Customer SupportGreat app. Way better than Bento in so many ways. But ... all info to set up is easy to follow - both written instructions and videos. When I accidentally deleted all my forms and needed help through the forum the developer was responsive with easy to follow fixes. Clearly, the developer is good but also understands how to support the people using the app - a hard thing to find these days! I run my whole home cleaning business on this app so am happy to know I have support..Version: 5.0.8

Absolutely perfectSuper flexible database to create your customized forms. I use it for my consulting business to track projects, my to do list and billing. Couldn’t live without it!.Version: 5.3.30

Great support & Cloud SynchronisationI have found this app indispensable for a number of years, so can appreciate how well we users are supported by its developers - who have also managed to upgrade, improve and maintain it through what I suspect are draconian iOS updates. Using Tapforms has enabled me to compile, correlate and synchronise complicated data in the most efficient way to minimise cloud storage: in this respect a hefty rival to my document folder..Version: 5.1.2

Excellent well supported database appI use this app continuously. In early days I was frustrated by the limited sort/select capability and strange export capability but those areas have been fixed and enhanced. Every time I've posted a question or issue I have gotten excellent response. Features I've requested have been added. Database apps differ a lot and I can't say whether Tap Form addresses every need but it does a lot. It does everything I need. The negative reviews I've read are either about things that have been since fixed or by people who didn't spend much time learning the app and jumped to conclusions. It is definitely the best database app on the iPhone..Version: 5.2

Superb AppI have used Tapforms for 6 years to organise patients (I am a surgeon) data, and for other information. The App and support are excellent..Version: 5.3.21

Great database appTapforms Review I have been using Tapforms for a few years and have now developed my own database apps for my business. Having gained a lot of knowledge using Tapforms, I can honestly say it is the best database app in its class / category for Apple devices. If Bento hadn’t been abandoned then with development it could have been a serious challenger to Tapforms. As such Tapforms fills a very important gap in the marketplace and its features would take some time for an alternate software developer to copy. It does this without costing the earth to own or paying a regular subscription fee. Once a user grasps what Tapforms is capable of doing, you will be surprised what you can use it for. My main use is for gathering data in the field with an iPhone or iPad then sync this data with my main database on my Mac. I am unable to buy an app that will do what I need so Tapforms allows me to make my own exactly to my requirements. I use it for Invoicing Tracking of equipment and product we grow Generating compliance reports Service Records for customers CRM Health & Safety recording Company policy and procedures manual Biosecurity risks and management procedures Some of the things I like about Tapforms are: Having acquired the data, it is a simple matter of generating a report according to a template which I can convert to PDF for sharing or printing. I can acquire all sorts of data including photos, audio, video recordings, formatted text fields, calculations based on data I feed in. One of my favourites is capturing the GPS co-ordinates of where I am or enter site location and display this on a world map. I can acquire data in separate forms based on function and connect the data to another form. Create preset filters to extract the data I am specifically looking for mandatory reporting. I don’t need to contact Brendan at Tapforms very often these days but he blows me away with how quickly he responds. I am way out of his time zone and yet he responds at what I would consider the most unexpected of times. He leaves me wondering if he sleeps at all. I often look at apps in the App Store for a specific task and then realise I could do that in Tapforms if I wanted to develop it. Tapforms does not require the user to pay monthly subscriptions for some service which requires an Internet connection to function properly. At one time I was using FIlemaker and have considered the benefits of going back to it. While Filemaker is a very nice product and has really great capability, its business model puts it out of the game for me. If I was to replace Tapforms with apps that were based on the subscription model then I wouldn’t be able to afford the $2000 to $3000 per year this would cost. While Tapforms requires me to spend time developing my apps and requires some database expertise to do so, I get apps that are tailor-made for me and if I need to make a change, its a simple matter for me to modify. Sometimes I look at new features that apps make a big deal about including in their latest update and think I could do that in Tapforms in a couple of hours or less. What’s the big deal I ask myself and why wasn’t it included earlier..Version: 5.3.27

If you need to keep track of something, TapForms can do it.TapForms is more than just a database of stuff, it has the ability to become something so personally unique to you, that it is like having a custom built app, but with a price tag of a generic product. Sure, you have to get it set up to work well, but Brendan is so super helpful and quick to respond to questions that it makes the whole thing fairly easy. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. I've used it to store information about everything from my fabric stash, to info about household appliance warranties, the contents of my garage to a database of my garden and house plants including a watering schedule. If you need to keep track of something, TapForms can do it..Version: 5.3.19

Brilliant app and supportI've been using Tap Forms for mac and also the iOS app for several years. Sync works well - perfect as a customer relationship database. Also support email questions get a quick and always helpful response. Thoroughly recommended !!.Version: 5.3.29

I love this app. One of my best apps on my iPhone.Hello, I just wanted to leave a review for this app because I love it so much. I have had this app for years. I have over 50 apps on my phone… But tap forms is by far the app I use the most. I use it several times daily. You can do so much with this app. The different databases that you can make seems endless. You can track your taxes, make a grocery list, Track Doctor Appointments, Your Stocks, House maintenance and repairs, Passwords, Banking info, Address Book, Vacations, Vet appointments, Sales, Emails, Recipes… ect ect. The list just goes on and on. The customer support is amazing too. Everytime I have a question about something… and email support… I get an answer back within 24 hours. Some times within 30 minutes. I highly recommend this app. To this day I still enjoy making databases that are user friendly to make. Thanks Tap Forms. You’ve made my life easier ..Version: 5.3.21

Best optionI have been using Tap Forms for years for mission critical data management and it has served me very well. It is a program that has a learning curve to use the all the features and subtlety or you can use it in simple mode and track data, inventory or records quickly. When problems arise and simple restart fixes them. Like everything on a computer. Or if you need help or have suggestions emailing with Brandon the developer is always a clear win. Most responsive developer, he answers his emails with clear helpfulness I run my entire business in this program and support tracking memberships, inventory, events, medical, accounting all of it everyday... if you need a simple data tracker this it is for you... if need a program to handle complex data bases with a million options it is for you too... Tap Forms offers some unique options the others don’t and at a cost that anyone can afford. 5 stars!!! Updated Feb 2022 Tap Forms remains key to my biz and data. The upgrades and added features are awesome. Brandon is helpful and responsive. Across all my platforms Mac, iPad and iPhone tap forms keep My data synced and and at my finger tips..Version: 5.3.22

Best mobile database platform I have used so farI transitioned from Bento a few years back. This app just keeps getting better and better. Brendan is super responsive and usually addresses issues in a very timely fashion. I have even made several suggestions for improvements and new features and he has been very receptive..Version: 5.3.7

Keeps Getting Better And BetterI have Tap Forms 5 on my iMac, MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone XR and it is indispensable. Supremely flexible for everything from cataloguing my book collection, doing research, project management, mileage records - pretty much everything in my personal and working life. I cannot recommend this software highly enough. Plus, the developer is offers amazing support. Just get it!.Version: 5.3.19

My life, organizedThis is a terrific database. I keep information about all aspects of my life in it. Can’t live without it. It’s super safe and secure and very flexible. The two features I LOVE that you can’t easily find elsewhere are: 1) Local sync - your information stays on your devices, not on someone else’s cloud (unless you want it to) 2) Fantastic app support. Comprehensive manual and a he author returns any emailed questions right away. Very willing to help..Version: 5.3.22

App Excels, Developer Top NotchWe have used Tap Forms, and now Tap Forms 5 to collect data for our grizzly bear project for >4 years now. This app has saved us thousands of dollars in data input costs and ensures fewer errors. The automatic date, ability to scan in barcodes and addition of pictures are all very useful for us. The developer, Brendan, has provided us with A+ support and is always keen to hear suggestions to improve the app. We highly recommend the app..Version: 5.0.3

Very very useful appI’ve used this app for some years now but feel compelled to leave another review as I keep finding new ways to make use of its incredible flexible and intuitive features. I started using it to track jobs for my small business but now have a whole bunch of things I can track with it. I have to point out that I’m not particularly well organised but this is why I like this app so much. Not being very organised doesn’t cut it when I’m trying to work out how much money I’ve spent on a job. I seem to have a process where I make a form that provides a basic function. Then over time I add features here and there so that it can do more for me. Then I get overwhelmed by the number of fields I need to fill in. So I refine what I’ve done and end up with what feels like another whole new app. But one that I’ve designed to suit my way of doing things. Easily the most useful bit of software that I’ve bought..Version: 5.3.19

Branston Boarders used for making my life so much easierThis app is great after working out how to create and store this has been the best app I’ve used . Could do with detailed instructions of how to do everything maybe in an info file as I still don’t know if I can link forms by names.Version: 5.3.5

Simple and brilliant!Been a Tap Forms user for years and just got this version. It’s brilliant. Hours of nerdy fun making databases and tweaking them. The best software looks simple. And works. Add to that their support is incredible..Version: 5.3.30

Prompt and personal tech helpI’ve been using Tap Forms for nearly 10 years as a database for my art collection, on my portable devices and laptop. I transitioned from Bento, which was painless, and have customized my Tap Forms database to serve my precise purposes. It’s an easy-to-use, highly customizable app that has been a game changer. I accidentally deleted the contents last week (ugh!) and reached out to Tap Forms for help. I heard from Brendan, the president, the same day, and with his guidance I was able to restore all the hard work I’d put in. Now that is service!.Version: 5.3.30

Database perfectionI’ve been looking for a way to organize various aspects of my life and hobbies and business for literally years now, and finally learned about Tap Forms. I have no idea how I’ve missed this app for so long, because this program is perfect. I grew up using HyperCard and then loved Bento (FileMaker’s personal-level cousin), and this app uses similar terminology, so it was easy for me to build the databases I need quickly and easily. There’s a great support knowledge base already existing and the customer support is unparalleled. So far all the problems have been user error, which means the database has been able to do everything I’ve asked of it. I highly recommend buying Tap Forms 5. It’s worth every penny I paid and it’s reassuring to know that my data isn’t being shared or sold. In this day & age, developers who protect our data are absolutely golden! Thank you, Brendan and Tap Zapp Software!.Version: 5.3.30

Top databaseI have been using this database as a customer database with schedules to notify clients about service requests. I am an Heating engineer and have adapted the software to suit my needs which suits me well and does a great job. There are always still improvements that can be done and The developer is quite accommodating and generally quick to make adjustments when possible. Keep up the good work it’s still the best i can find. Cheers. Peter. Martin.Version: 5.3.30

No Subscription!Over the last few years I’ve tried out various apps to use for inventory at a school. Most apps with these features have a subscription model which is not appealing once you add up how much you’d spend to keep it accessible. Almost every inventory app has the subscription model... and they are not cheap! This one does not have a subscription model! For this alone it is worth it. If you compare features and price... you’ll see this is a winner. The barcode scanning is not the best I’ve used, but is certainly not the worst. No Google Drive integration, and finding out how to use it is a bit of a task until you watch their tutorial videos a few times. It’s a little tough to navigate their website to find out how to use the app, so some parts of the app are still confusing to me after a few days of use. These are my biggest complaints, but overall this app has a lot of capability and I’m very impressed. Easily worth the money spent. I’ve already set up my database and have logged over 100 items so far after only a few days I’ve got it set up just right. This app doesn’t seem to break a lot of your database is viewed if you choose to rename something, or re-organize how it’s viewed (some apps do this). Lots of solid options. I’d like to see Apple’s Shortcuts integration, as well as Google Drive support, although iCloud has been working out great! Great Job on the app! It’s saving me a lot of time and headache so far!.Version: 5.3.5

Great syncing database app!Tap Forms is a great replacement for the beloved Bento app. Like Bento, it helps you organize your information, whether it be about your collections of books, CDs, wines, etc., or even a To Do list. Most importantly, like Bento, it syncs the info among your devices, desktop (iMac, MacBook) and mobile (iPad, iPhone), so you have important data with you when shopping, or browsing in your easy chair. It is packed with features, and provides several different methods for syncing devices. My only reasons for a 4 rather than 5 rating, are that it is not quite as intuitive as Bento (but there’s lots of well written Help, and the developer is very accessible and responsive) and syncing doesn’t work every time..Version: 5.3.19

Tap FormsHi I moved my forms in alphabetical order and now some forms are missing. They are still on my phone but not my iPad. Also when I add files to my iPad, they are not converting with the photo to my iphone, and it is the iphone I take with me when Looking for material.Version: 5.3.11

A must for DB!I have been building my databases with this app. Easy to use and organize !.Version: 5.3.19

Getting betterStarting to get the feeling for this. Trying to replace my Bento.Version: 5.2.4

This is a great app on both platformsThis is a solid app that can be relied to work and sync on iOS and the desktop. Over the years I have had a few problems due to my misunderstanding but the fast support is excellent. There is one area that I think needs a lot of improvement and that is the layout and ability to produce well designed forms. The appearance of the app is rather dated. I think a complete design overhaul is needed to bring it into line with the current Apple design concepts..Version: 5.1.2

Love this appThis is a very useful app and easy to use. I have purchased the desktop app as well and am enjoying making forms and collecting information for my business. My only minor complaint is l would love to see more video tutorials from very basic through to complex. The forum is great and the developer and staff are very quick to answer any questions. I highly recommend..Version: 5.3.17

Fantastic, the possibilities are endless!I have been using this for a couple of years now and have been very pleased with my results. When I discovered how to link forms it absolutely blew my mind because it opened up new opportunities. Now my bird DB has grown way past my expectations and syncing to my iPhone means I can take the database out into the field and use it and update it in realtime. Fantastic app and support. Well worth the money and many thanks to the developer..Version: 5.3.30

Useful but buggyI recently upgraded to version 5 and wanted to explore the new options. One of these options is “Color Record”, which displays the record with a different background color within the record list. I decided for fun to change the color of one of the records and found it worked as expected. However, there is no way to “uncolor” a record once you have colored it. The grid of possible colors does not include the original default color! So now that single record will always stand out, which I really don’t want. The app is useful, but that color bug really bugs me..Version: 5.3.29

Version 5.1Long time user of TF, on iMac and IPad/iPhone. The latest updates to 5.1 have made it great to use. Syncing is easy in iCloud again with the latest update. Functionality is excellent. Keep up the good work!.Version: 5.1.1

Just BrilliantI have had Tap Forms LT for many years and used it in my work environment. Now it’s gone to a whole new level and it’s even better. Brendan who wrote this has always been helpful when I’ve had questions, responding quickly and helpfully and that generously continues in Tap Forms 5. Not that I need much support. It’s intuitive and so adaptable with more wonderful features being added through regular updates. Brendan is open to ideas and requests and just loves taking this app from strength to strength. I love it that everything can be backed up and transferred effortlessly. Great new layout with folders and documents, barcode scan and more. Good job Brendan!.Version: 5.2.8

Tap Form reviewThe first thing I'd like to say is the tech support for the Tap Forms app. is fantastic. My questions were responded to within 24 hours; an incredible experience in today's world of computer support. Second, in making this review I'm not a computer techie so tech support was ultimately helpful in making my first database which I have now synced seccusefully with my cell phone. I found that without using the online tutorial I was able to jump in and start creating my first program fairly easily as the Tap app is very intuitive even for beginners. Also, Tap Forms provide numerous starter databases which address many everyday situations you may find useful if you are a beginner such as myself. There are many things I'm looking forward to as I continue to create other databases such as it's relational capability and other advanced features. Yes, Im very happy with my Selection of Tap Forms and will give it a 5 star rating..Version: 5.3.22

Indispensable business appWe have a small business performing music for a variety of clients. TapForms keeps client records with detailed information, performance data, invoices, payments, etc. and makes them easy to locate and update. Documents can be attached to client records. This is very helpful when trying to keep track of 1,200+ performances. TapForms is the best and easiest database we’ve ever used. Brendan personally answers emails quickly and helped us when our computer was causing problems with the app. We highly recommend TapForms..Version: 5.3.19

Best & most accessible database app for the BlindThis app is the most accessible database I’ve ever used, as a VoiceOver user! In fact, I believe it’s the only one! It has a permanent spot in the dock, on all of my devices. I was introduced to it by my vision teacher, when I was in high school. I ❤️ the app, & would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an app of this type. Furthermore, I’m currently using it to store information about people I meet in the hobby of Amateur radio because I’m in the process of studying for my technician license. Once I’m licensed, I’ll have a list of contacts to communicate with..Version: 5.3.20

Cleverly powerful with simple interfaceIt is possible to set up some basic linked data tables and manage differing searches across a range of data filed types. While not for novices, it can been mastered with incremental use of the supporting instructions. I’m still finding new ways to use it, synced between macOS, iPadOS and iOS..Version: 5.3.9

This app is fantastic!It has everything i need to create a database for my work. I recommend it to all of you who need some sort of organizing system at work or home..Version: 5.3.19

Couldn’t do without itThis is an excellent App that I use every day. I couldn’t do without it. The developer is obviously devoted to it, so we all benefit from his ongoing attention..Version: 5.3.26

UnmatchedThe most useful app on my phone & unmatched in its functionality..Version: 5.3.12

BrilliantI have been plugging along trying to find ways around the complexity of others programs. Some worked fairly well, but none gave me the power and flexibility as Tap Forms. Combined with the ability to go from OSX to iOS on multiple devices, this has been well worth the money. Conversions from Bento 4 have also been next to miraculous. Extremely well done, and thank you..Version: 5.2.8

Perfect App for 95% of people. Lists, collections, databases etc. Simple user interface.I am a long term user of Tapforms (converted from Filemaker). The application suite (for Mac & iOS) complement well and make the functions of this application completely mobile. The user interface is natural and straightforward, speed of app is outstanding, and support by the developer is the best I have ever received. Regular functionality updates I now use iCloud sync with multiple databases as large as 15k records. Works smoothly and seamlessly. Support from developer is fast and friendly..Version: 5.3.19

SupercalifragilisticexpialidociousBeen away from the app for a while and decided to get some things organised again. I'd tried other database apps, some quite expensive and was always left thinking, I wish it had this or that feature. Tap Forms has them All. Want to drop a photo of an item into the forms? Want to add handwritten notes? Not an issue. Please don't ever stop development of this fantastic app..Version: 5.3.19

SuperbAn absolutely superb database tool which you can use for practically anything you like. Nowadays it seamlessly synchronises between Mac desktop and all mobile devices. Regularly updated and good personal support. Even on mobile screens it manages to cram in so much functionality in an elegant and clean user interface. Brilliant..Version: 5.3.10

One of My Favorite AppsI love having my important information organized and always available on my phone, as well as syncing with my desktop version of Tap Forms 5. I can add data and make changes on the go, and then see everything updated when I get home. I use it every day and have created many forms to use for organizing my life... from recipes to Christmas card lists to home inventory. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable app that is easy to use and really gets the job done. A big bonus is that the developer is very responsive to questions and problems. He has been extremely helpful to solve a few minor issues, mainly due to my mistakes! Keep up the great work! I am a customer for life!.Version: 5.3.17

Excellent Database AppYears ago I used Bento to store records. Later I switched to Filemaker Pro, which I found far too complicated for my needs. For many years now I have been happily using Tap Forms. I have forms for the students in the various classes I teach, a form for medical information, another form for the books I own on Kindle, and several other forms. I occasionally have syncing issues, which is why I am giving the app 4 stars instead of 5. Nevertheless, I find this app easy to use and utterly indispensable..Version: 5.3.19

Where have you been all my life?When I discovered tap forms for the iPad, I thought it might reduce the number of different what kinds of Apps I was using: task management, project management, journal, personal inventory, etc. I took a few days off to put tap forms through its paces and the result has been fantastic. This is one of the more mature apps for the iPad I have come across. So much has been thought through and the implementation is great. I am not yet through transferring all of my old apps to this system. A superior piece of programming..Version: 5.3.11

Top Notch AppI have been using TapForms for approx 4 years now for my contracting business, We rely on the TF app daily. There have been hiccups along the way, however developer Brenan worked hard to create this top notch, simple to use, reliable, full of feature database. We use it to track aprox 50 ongoing jobs at one time. Program easily syncs to all computers w/o a hitch. Syncing is done quickly in the background. Reliable and quick. Support is very good. Developer responds usually within 24 hours, and most times sooner. This app is worth way more than it sells for. The iphone layout could be better, however overall package Excellent..Version: 5.1.2

Great database toolI have been using Tapforms on Mac and iOS as a replacement for Bento. Tapforms is far better and new features are always being added. The sync feature works really well as does output to CSV from iOS version. The developer is responsive to questions..Version: 5.2.8

Best App for Field & Office use!I have been using Tap Forms for a couple of years, and recently upgraded to v5 on the iPhone and my Mac. It’s a great combination! I use it for tracking my work in the field (I service industrial controls). For each entry, I set my arrival date, time and vehicle mileage when I get to my customers location. I’ve made entry fields for machine name & type, problem, customer contact, also fields for pictures of interest. When I enter my departure time, Tap Forms calculates how much time I have spent on-site. When I get to the office, Tap Forms on my Mac will sync with my phone and instantly I have everything on my Mac! I then use all this info for doing my billing. With Tap Forms, it’s now a piece of cake to track all my customers and their machines. Thanks for a great App!!.Version: 5.2.1

An incredibly powerful toolI having been using Tap Forms for my small business over the past 4 years. I have found it incredibly powerful The ease with which you can purpose build all your essential data and then provide endless links to reference and look-up related information, is no less than mind-blowing The design team keep adding further dynamic features adding even more power and value to this wonderful tool Having used several database type programs over many years, I would say Tap Forms is by far the de-facto product offering a leading- edge solution to almost any personal or business data task.Version: 5.3.6

Very well thought out!I've just downloaded the latest version, and have yet to work with it, but I've used Tap Forms for years, trusting it to look after all my most valuable information, and it just does it, no hassle. Next thing is to put it on my iPhone 6s. Thanks, guys..Version: 5.1.2

Comprehensive Database ApplicationI have finally found a database application for my Mac and iPad that is intuitive, full-featured, easily customizable and inexpensive. I have created a test management database that allows me to manage requirements; create use cases, test sets and test cases; execute these tests, track bugs and issues; and conduct a full analysis of the results. The relationships I establish allow me to easily conduct requirements and test traces. Also, the filter and search functions give me many sorting options. This application is a great value and provides my small engineering company with a valuable tool..Version: 5.2.3

Wow - The best suppoirt of any IOS app I have ever hadIf you are thnking of starting a new database for business or personal use then Tap Forms should be the top of your list. Easy to handle, and comes with the best support on the App Store. THANKYOU !!.Version: 5.3.24

Elle fait simplement tout se donc j'ai besoin et elle rend cela simple. C'est une vrai excellente app. Et merci, vous offrez un support excellent et rapide. Hello, I don't write a lot of these review. But this app. is one of my few favorite and indispensable. I use it everywhere and with every devices phone-pad-Mac. It simply does everything i need and it make it easy. It is a true excellente app. And thanks, You offer a very nice and fast support..Version: 5.3.15

Excellent appI use the phone and desktop versions of Tap Forms. I was a long time Bento user and they suddenly stopped developing and thankfully I found Tap Forms. The migration was easy and overall easy to use. The sync function works great between phone and desktop. Developer is responsive and stays on top of things. Customizing is easy so you have plentiful options to make this CRM your own. My company has a CRM that is just cluttered with unnecessary features and optics so I decided to buy this and build my own with fields that are important to me..Version: 5.3.17

Recipe FileI love this app. I use it for keeping my recipes in order. I can add a picture of the dish to be prepared. I can also easily select, copy, and paste recipes I see on the internet. I can also send a PDF of the recipe to my friends even if they do not have this app. Best of all....I have all my recipes with me on my phone. If I go on a trip and need a recipe, I have it with me. If I am at the grocery store and am not sure what I need to buy, I have the recipe on my phone. And another BEST OF ALL....if I need any tech support, the developer gets back to me to solve my problem..Version: 5.3.30

Best FileMaker AlternativeI used FileMaker in a corporate environment for years and fell in love with making databases, but after leaving that company FileMaker was just way too expensive to buy for myself. I spent a long time looking for alternatives, but they were all either too expensive, too technical, or too limited. This app strikes a good balance between being affordable, having lots of options and still being easy to use. I only wish there was a Windows version so I could also use it on my computer, but am happy that I can at least having something like this on my iPad..Version: 5.3.15

Perfect for personal useI’ve been using Tap Forms for years, and just added the app to my iPhone and iPad. I had a little trouble understanding how to sync, and wrote for Support. Within a very few hours I got detailed instructions which worked like a charm. The syncing has gone without a hitch. I’m really loving using this app. It’s been a cinch to create databases for many of my hobbies and interests. The customization is very robust and intuitive. It’s really fun to create forms and records for many uses. The video tutorials are very clear. If you haven’t used databases before, this is the place to go..Version: 5.3.22

Excellent supportI’ve been using this software for tracking bits information for about 6 years. Took a little bit to get use to the style of the app but very glad I did as it is flexible and robust. Had an issue for the first time opening my files today, contacted support and within a couple of mins they had helped me get it all working normally (“have you tried turning it off and on again…”)..Version: 5.3.24

Great for quick data entryAfter trying different database apps, I settled on tapforms because of its ease of entry and customization of forms. The developer frequently releases updates and bug fixes. My current gripe is that it is difficult to share filled out forms as a pdf. When I want to message it, I have to go share>print>force touch>message. Regardless, I would recommend giving this app a try if you are looking for an easy way to input data into a list..Version: 5.2.6

Powerful, flexible and a bargain tooA great application and the fact it’s available across Mac, IPad and iPhone with data syncing makes this an indispensable tool for me. The support from Brendan is excellent too..Version: 5.3.29

Long term UserI switched to Tap Forms when Apple discontinued support for their Bento database. Tap Forms has been remarkably stable through multiple updates and on the two occasions I contacted the developer, Brendan Duddridge for advice I received a personal respopnse. I highly recommend Tap Forms to users looking for a straightforward, encrypted database to store valuable information..Version: 5.3.19

Love this databaseI used FileMaker Pro for many, many years, but once I retired and was faced with having to buy it myself, the huge price scared me away -- its functionality is also WAY MORE than I will ever use. Tap Forms has been the perfect alternative. In truth I use the Mac OS version more than the iOS version, but Apple won't let me review the OS version since I didn't buy it through the App Store. But both versions work like a charm, with a lot less clutter than FileMaker. And never in the history of computing has there been a more helpful company owner than Brendan. Never! He personally emails me, usually within an hour or two, the answer to any question I pose him. He's the best and so is Tap Forms..Version: 5.3.17

Good App and excellent support.I used it to build a list of all of the Audiobooks I have acquired from a variety of legal sources so that I can search by Author, Title or Series and see both a summary of the book and the cover image. The app is great for populating drop down fields for the key fields designated and syncs with a version that I run on my IMAC. I asked the developer for some help with the population of the list with cover images and he provided a short script for this the same day that I made the request. Highly recommended for many uses..Version: 5.3.21

Superb app and amazing support!Very recommended!.Version: 5.3.18

Great AppI’ve been using tap forms for a few years now, I’m self employed and use it for my job sheets and sending stuff away for 3rd party work. Being able to sync across my desktop, laptop, iPad and iPhone means I can work so much easier..Version: 5.3.16

TapForms really rocks!I’ve been using TapForms for years! It’s always been good but the last couple of updates have made it great! How can anybody get excited about a database app? Well, if you haven’t made the following secure: your password protected websites, credit cards, banking pins, healthcare logins, software passwords, shopping sites, email addresses, dropboxes, buying club memberships, cloud logins, social media logins, etc, you will be hacked! It’s only a matter of time. If you are using a single password for more than one account or if you use common words that you can remember, or if your password is less than 16 places, You Will Be Hacked! TapForms keeps the dozens, or in my case, hundreds of complex passwords in a neat, password protected database that securely syncs between computers, cell phones, & tablets to make security mean something. Oh, it does more than what I mentioned, but keeping me truly secure is worth a million bucks alone! Check it out! Move into the 21st century!.Version: 5.2.10

Extremely useful and polishedI’ve been using Tap Forms for several months now on both Mac and iOS. It’s a very well-designed and for featured database, At least for personal use. The Mac and iOS versions work seamlessly with each other and sync effortlessly using iCloud. It’s great to be able to use your iPhone to create a database and capture data and have it instantly replicated on your Mac. It’s very easy to create a database on your iPhone or iPad and to link data bases. For someone completely new to databases, there is a learning curve. It’s not quite as easy as using a word processor or spreadsheet. The documentation, especially for someone new to databases, is a little bit incomplete. However, the developer is extremely responsive if you have questions..Version: 5.2.10

The most useful app on my phone!I moved over to TAP firms when Apple stopped supporting Bento. I’ve been keeping tack of my craft supplies since the Palm Pilot days. I was able to easily import the data from Bento into TAP forms, and I’ve been using it ever since- on my laptop, iPad and of course, my iPhone. I have every stamp set, die cut set, Copic market, craft idea book, sewing pattern and all my crafts cataloged so I always know what I have to avoid duplicate purchases. Since I also have pictures of each item, I can quickly scroll through and find a particular item quickly. Most recently, after cleaning out my closet during COVID, I started logging my wardrobe so when I am able to go out shopping again (or shopping online from my couch), I’ll know exactly what I have on hand and what size it is. Again, since I added pictures, I can quickly pull together outfits. I was trying to use Stylebook for this, but TAP forms is easier since I already know how to use it plus this app is regularly updated unlike other apps for tracking your wardrobe..Version: 5.3.13

Superb database app for macOS with excellent syncing to iOSTap Forms is the best, most customisable personal database app for macOS and iOS too. It's a great replacement for those that were using Bento. I was able to export all of my data from Bento (inc. images) and then import in to Tap Forms. The app supports syncing with other devices via Cloudant, iCloud and local WiFi. Tap Forms supports numerous different field types including encrypted and calculated fields (which allows you to perform automatic calculations using the values of other fields on your form e.g. "[Total] - [Deposit]". The developer is very responsive and helpful and provides great support via email and Tap Forms own forums. Highly recommended! ++.Version: 5.2

Excellent Personal DatabaseThis is an exceptional software package. I previously used FileMaker’s Bento product, which was discontinued, and for context I use MySQL and MongoDB in enterprise applications. I love having a lightweight database on my computer (and now my iPad too). Tap Forms picked up where Bento left off and added impressive capabilities. Its utility to import my Bento databases worked flawlessly; it took some work to prep the Bento files but no work after the import. My databases now sync with my teammate, providing great utility to my workflow. I did have a problem setting up IBM Cloudant (the service changed and Tap Forms did not work with it). Their customer support was extremely responsive. Within one day, they provided a workaround solution setting up my Cloudant service as a CouchDB. The workaround worked flawlessly. If a lightweight desktop would benefit your lifestyle or workflow, particularly if you want to share that database through the cloud, I cannot recommend this product too enthusiastically..Version: 5.3.19

OMG - goodbye FileMaker Pro and hello to amazing customer supportI just purchased the Mac laptop app yesterday and I’m already set with my data base! Today I bought the app for my iPhone and it’s already synched! I have over 8,000 clients and they are on my phone and my lap top! If I change client details on one, it changes on the other. Creating the data base was quite intuitive, especially coming from FileMaker Pro. My Pro was wanting an upgrade and was acting wonky so I looked for a new Mac Data Base. Tap Forms 5 was more than I asked for ... in a good way. I got a bit stuck but there are a lot of tutorials and I emailed the customer service, thinking, well, I probably have to figure this out on my own, but no! Brendan got back to me very quickly and he has gotten back to me with a few other questions! Right away!!! Wow!!!! I need to track over 8,000 client sessions, where they came from and more. Tap Forms does it all. It even lets me make labels! I can’t say enough good about this app!!! You won’t be disappointed. Get it! You’ll be up and running in no time! Update: I messed up my data base and customer (Brendan) service got tight back to me and fixed it for me over night! Amazing customer service!!!.Version: 5.3.3

Brilliant !This is an outstanding app. I have used the mac , iPad and iPhone apps for recording work activities for about a year now and it has great support too. Worth its weight in gold..Version: 5.1

Easy to use Database system.Brendan has developed a very simple to use, but very powerful database system. The form implementation is excellent too. I very rarely do reviews, but this app deserves it. I have both iPad/iPhone version and Mac version. Also the customer service is exceptional. Keep up the good work Brendan. Well done. *****.Version: 5.3.28

Best app everAnd I have hundreds of apps.Version: 5.3.29
