Boximize for Negative User Reviews

✓ Dont like itFont is unreadable, small and faint. Only one sort field, not really a database at all. Better off sticking with a spreadsheet....34687634Version: 1.7

✓ Good..Could be GREAT!I recently downloaded the app ‘soon’ I think Boximize could steal something out of their playbook. My one main concern is transition from one folder to another, I’d love it to be a little smoother..FlayAllsterVersion: 1.8.1

✓ I think the design is terrible.Open a box then create a structured note inside the box. Well when you open a box your can’t see any of the structured notes inside the boxes unless you press another UI option that then shows the notes? This makes it horrible for looking up information quickly or just peeking into a “box”.Z3K3ZVersion: 1.8

✓ JimSpeedy1DinoI had this app for several years, added inventory, etc. and suddenly all that data has disappeared from this app. There is no reason to trust this app, or the developer. This particular app, once highly rated, has not been updated since 2015. Meanwhile, the developer has created a number of paid spin-offs of this app and abandoned this one and its users. I liked the app enough to willingly pay for the cloud storage option had he chosen to add it..JimSpeedy1DinoVersion: 1.7

✓ When will the collaborate functions arrive - still waiting.When will the collaborate functions arrive. It’s been 5 years. This would a 5 star app if the 2015 promised updates were delivered. I still use the app but only for basic data collection. It could be soooo much more..MikeeMetroVersion: 1.8.1

✓ Good AppI will give it 5 stars if the issue of backing up to Dropbox is fixed. I’m using the latest version which claims that the issue is fixed and I’m still unable to connect to Dropbox! I have contacted the developers about it and despite their suggestions it is still impossible to backup the data. The files on the app cannot be backed up by file sharing to iTunes either. If you have too much data on the app you will risk losing it all because there is no reliable backup function. I have ceased using the app because of this..TunclipVersion: 1.8

✓ Great app with flawsThe design of this app is fantastic, and the flexibility combined with templates is amazingly helpful in getting you up and running lightning quick. Overall, it's really cool, and really flexible. I do have some complaints: you have to manually create a master backup and sync it to Dropbox. What?! That doesn't fly in 2016. I have at least three iOS devices that I'm using on any given day. It really needs to sync between devices to be part of my normal work flow. Also, this is just me wishing for features, but I wish it could have helper apps, widgets or some sort of rapid input/execute button right on the home screen... "Add receipt" type function. Oh, and fields able to do computation..DoyledcVersion: 1.7

✓ GoodWould be better if: 1) Allowed for calculator functions on fields. 2) Allowed for more robust sorting, especially sorting of decks. 3) Allowed for the disabling of that irritatingly stupid comic "helper." I've got this on three devices and each makes me go through steps to create and manage a list in order to get rid of that silly thing. Once is enough. When I install this on multiple devices, I shouldn't have to go through that each time to get rid of it. Drop it and I'll add two stars to my rating. I've emailed the developer on this twice, but have yet to hear back..AnskVersion: 1.7

✓ A bit on the steep end.For as much as this cost you would expect that the makers would have at least tried their own app. The amount of suggestions that I've submitted is ridiculous? Just plan obvious things like sorting, resetting the date if entered by mistake. Yes just pressing the date button sets a date you can't reset so it's entered unless you remove the entire field from you're template? Lots of improvements need to be made but nothing that really shouldn't already be there. It's like going to a hotel after a long flight and you finally check-in just to find out that the room isn't even cleaned..MichaeljjayVersion: 1.7

✓ Security is implied, not real.Just swipe down when the passcode prompt appears and it goes away. From this we can also be sure the data is not securely encrypted either. eg: no good as a secure contacts directory or password store..Cb@gmcVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Hidden super app, but no updatesThe app is simply great, but the developers should either put it free with adds or continue charging for it with the compromise to update it. It is missing face recognition and starting 2023 it cannot be backed up to Dropbox. I was able to save my .box up to my MacBook Air via AirDrop and restore it on my iPad. Needs some developers work to keep it up-to-date to change this review to 5 stars again. The low review is just to catch their attention as their support channel is not answered. Alfredo..CanadadishVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Nice but missing one IMPORTANT featureGreat UI design and lots of types of lists that you can pick from. However, it doesn’t allow you to manually sort your tasks. It does have options to sort by task name, dates, etc but most of the time I just need to move tasks around in my own order of priority. Due to the lack of this feature, I am unable to use this app for my needs. It’s been this way for years and I have suggested this change before. I like the app so much though that I periodically check it to see if they have finally added this option..TXAG86PRVersion: 1.9.1

✓ ConfusingSuch a confusing user interface. The animations are cute, but viewing the contents of my databases in this app is just completely counter-intuitive to the way my brain works. But, hey, they got my money so I guess they win..Gr@wl!xVersion: 1.7

✓ Good, but not perfectBeautiful interface, however some features fall short. My 2 biggest annoyances are around how records are presented: (1) you can't have a Choice field as the Representative field (same with many other of the field types), & (2) you can't have records displayed in the list using multiple fields' info. This severely hampers the records view. Some list items need 2 field's data to be meaningful, but sadly Boximize can't do that. So basically: the "creating a record" screen is excellent, but the "displaying of records" needs work. Other features I'd like to see: more compact list view (taking up less vertical space so more is on screen), & the ability to re-order all the lists. No-brainers those two ideas, surely..TestinggirlVersion: 1.7

✓ ConfusingDoesn’t really add anything to the note-taking process; it just takes longer to set things up. Can’t say I was compelled to keep it, but it might be great for the right person..RaputznikVersion: 1.0

✓ Great idea, but not helpful with existing dataI like the concept of this app, but the problem with it is what happens if I have this data in another form, such as a spreadsheet? I see no way of getting the data into the app without its own proprietary format. And the only way to use it elsewhere is to export it as a CSV, which defeats the purpose. I would like to store a membership list for quick phone number access, and it's well designed for that, but I'm not typing 30+ members into the app on my phone when I already have it in a spreadsheet. And even once they are in there, the numbers, emails, etc are not linked, so then I have to copy/paste them into apps..Pooky254Version: 1.7

✓ Frustrating!I mainly got this app to keep track of customers (completely separate of Apple’s address book of course) and it has just been frustrating as all h*ll. Just a couple simple tasks such as their name, location and a couple others has become impossible for me. For instance I type in their name in the “name” field then I type in an address in the “location” field. The address shows on the map, I drop a pin, then the address changes...by itself. I type in address with city, state, hit “done”, city state disappear...hit “done” again, their name disappears....WHAT IS GOING ON?? This app a great idea but so full of bugs it has been completely unusable for me..PreviousBBUserVersion: 1.8

✓ Great BUT no export or backupThose features are essential for a database/note taking app..SeldomreviewVersion: 1.0

✓ Does not Export to PDF or Email PDFWhy is this app still not able to share a PDF by email or open in the PDF in another app. I waist a bunch of time inputting a 13 item home inventory then not to be able to do anything with it. I ended up having to screenshot the pages and make the PDF on my desktop..Z dutyVersion: 1.5

✓ PointlessThis could've been a killer app but instead it's one of those that does everything but nothing well. Adding items are a chore, pictures are a pain to browse, there's no syncing between the iPad/iPhone apps even though it's universal and there's no backup whatsoever to speak of so would be wary of dumping all my notes in this. And to top it off it's expensive even at its discount launch price. Avoid!.Shehryar69Version: 1.0

✓ Issues with new versionSo glad to see a new version of this app Couple of issues though 1. If you update an existing install and upgrade you just get a big pink screen and nothing else 2. Tried to restore previously stored Dropbox databases without luck so all earlier databases have vanished 3. If you click on Settings, Premium EdiTion the app closes Having said that I haven’t really tested the new version yet and the earlier version was great but missing import..BeaverPleaserVersion: 1.9.0

✓ Great little db but make site your backups workI moved to this app when filmmaker decided to knock Bento on the head. I lost data in that adventure because I never received an email informing me out would go defunct and it stopped working after an iOS update. I started using boximize tentatively in its early days. Once it had backup options I used it more. I had had some problems sending my backup files via email. It would time out sometimes. Unfortunately I ignored this problem one time to many and recently whether it was a boximize update or an iOS update that caused it,i ended up with only a quote old backup and no boximize on my iPad for some reason. When I reinstalled boximize it couldn't see my old data file and as I said my backup was old. Oh well. Also I still have been unable to reinstall this old file in the new boximize, presumably because I had changed the format of the supplied customer file, so just watch out..Yeeehah23Version: 1.7

✓ No sync at allIt's a great idea. It could have been a top app. It's such a shame there are no syncing option (any other iPhone app like Dropbox, calendar etc) at all. So no way to safely back up. I cannot rely on it. I might eventually loose all my data on this..LoficupVersion: 1.0

✓ Updated to the latest version, guess what!It has been 5 or 6 days now since the problem was reported by several users. Could you please respond to whether the Notes I lost can be restored. I look forward to an answer from you. The fix 1.9.1 did not bring my notes back. What can you do to make it happen? Thanks a bunch, lost all my notes. I am not impressed and mad that I have to give 1 star to vent my anger..DixiegunnerVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Not bad, still some work to doI like the initial design of this app, but it lacks the advanced functionality of my current favourite note app "InnerList" (such as iOS contacts list integration). I recommend checking both out so you can see which is best for you..IDan_touch5Version: 1.0

✓ Basic Database w/ Good DesignBoximize is a basic database app that is easy to use and looks great. I must admit being a bit disappointed after purchasing due to the lack of certain features found in similar apps. For example, I really hope the developers will add nested (sub) categories. Boximize's price is too high not to have this feature. So I am keeping the app in hopes of this being added. Otherwise, sharp, stylish design and good for beginners..LunarvisionVersion: 1.7

✓ Not a rational databaseLooks really nice and easy to use but is not a rational DB. So only one table..PeterNesicVersion: 1.5

✓ Needs back up capabilities!All my collection is gone because it could not be backed up. Very discouraging and frustrating. Going to postpone the usage of this app till back up function added..25elementVersion: 1.0

✓ The very last (highly rated) data store app with auto sync? +Restore from backup crashes app.Ugh. I've had this app for a long time, but this might be the end. It's never had any sort of automated sync, and now to add insult to injury, it won't restore from the last set of backups I'd manually created 6 months ago. This year's set of iOS releases have caused me a world of pain, and it was hard enough to face the loss of the last 6 months of notes because of my own impatience. Alas, this last release was an unintentional update, since even the default iOS apps like "settings" and "App Store" all just disappeared from my phone after yesterday's announcement of iOS 11. So, yeah, I was prepared to cope with this part. That 6 month old backups should crash the app when I try to restore is totally unacceptable, though. I'm hoping that the app creator(s) fix this immediately. In the meantime, be warned..Parables_bkVersion: 1.7

✓ Poor customer serviceI've been unable to backup and restore, it crashes. Two emails to report problem haven't even been acknowledged. Avoid at all costs!.Nige1948Version: 1.7

✓ Promising startThis app is full of potential, but really needs a way to import existing data (I've some existing lists that would take too long to reenter by hand). Also sync between iPad and iPhone will increase its usefulness..Emkay_onlineVersion: 1.7

✓ Needs an major update.This could be very good. It needs an update to allow it to be limks to iCloud, to share data better iPhone and iPad. Also more option to sort and select infomation..FallenightVersion: 1.0

Boximize works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Boximize.
