Keypad input is great!

I've been waiting for them to implement the numeric keypad for number fields. It was left out of the original (iOS 7/HDB 4.9.0) update. I asked about it, Dave apologized that he forgot and added it to a new update (HDB 4.9.02) a few days later. The developer (Dave) always provides help and answers questions via the user forum and discussion groups, rather quickly... often within a few hours. Appreciate that they did not charge for the latest iOS 7 update or any other update since my original purchase. Worth every penny and then some!
Yes!!!

I've been looking for a database program for a long time but none of them did quite what I wanted. I admit I'm not a power user, my needs are fairly simple, but I *AM* picky, and HanDBase, along with its desktop companion is easy to use and does the job well.
Great app!

I've been using this app for a long time, and it serves me well. I have a number of databases that I use frequently, and this really helps me keep track of a lot of things. If you are not familiar with using databases, this app could be a little intimidating at first. But if you have created and used databases before, then you'll be impressed with all of the capabilities. They have made this a great app!
Unusable interface

What a joke. These reviews can't be serious. The form editor is not useable and the app is generally too inflexible despite having a confusing array of poorly thought through options. Can someone please make a decent database app?

Really cool app until it deleted a database I had worked on for half a day. Just gone...
Must Have

If you need an app for creating databases on iPhone or iPad, this is the best app. It will sync with Microsoft Access or stand alone. I've been using it for at least eight years and it does everything I need and want. There was a slight hiccup with the previous update, but the team was on it and fixed the bug immediately! Great customer service! No other database app compares. For databases, this is a must have.
Must have !

I have been using this app for over 3 years. Heavy daily use for work and also for tracking data outside work. It may be somewhat intimidating for someone who is new to databases but support is available. Highly recommend the additional forms manager also to make data entry screen a breeze! I can help set up your database!
Nothing else even comes close!

I've used this app since my Palm Handspring days and on every PDA/phone platform since. The speed and utility built into HanDBase is unmatched by any of the DB options costing less than $50. The only thing that would best it, would be FileMaker, and I haven't decided to drop hundreds of dollars on the Mac application for that (the mobile app for FileMaker requires a desktop installation to do anything useful), so I can't speak to any comparisons between the two of them. In all fairness, Filemaker is a business app where HanDBase is more of a consumer app with some business applicability. To give an example of the power of HanDBase, I built an asset tracking HanDBase database that mimicked our company's St Croix Systems Asset Manager in ALL its major functions including but not limited to: asset records, service records, part inventory, parts usage & ordering, PM scheduling & procedures. I used this for years as a notepad to record my time at work instead of using the slow, limited mobile app provided by St Croix Systems. My HanDBase Asset Manager DB was recently retired when our company went to Four Season's TMSPro which is web based and which I can run directly from my phone or ipad. However, I still use HanDBase extensively at work for its speed. For example, I can dump a complete table of our parts in TMSPro to Excel (over 9700 parts), do a save to a CSV file, then create a HanDBase DB by importing the CSV. This gives me a mobile parts list that I can access, locating ANY part(s) as fast as I can type in a search. Instant response, no lag or search time. Much better as a tool than the much clumsier, slower internet access into TMSPro. Thus I still use HanDBase to speed up my work even though I have complete access to our company DB through my phone or pad. Other uses include tracking all information for my pool leagues and a NASCAR Fantasy League that I host. This app is by far the most used app that I own.
