GREAT FOR FORMER BENTO USERS

Having moved from ACT! to Bento and now having to migrate to a new database app, I've done a lot of research. Everything pointed to Tap Forms. I can now agree. The quality and usefullness of this app exceeds its competition by miles, not to mention the reasonable cost. Support by the Developer, Brendan Duddridge, is unsurpassed. This is way beyond the service I could only wish for with other purchased products. In my case, informative and useful email replies within an hour, unbelievable!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Pretty good

I've been slowly migrating my databases from Handbase since they haven't fixed any of the app issues in a long while. So far this has been a great alternative. The only drawbacks I really have are the lack of customization when it comes to the way fields and forms are displayed. As far as I can tell there isn't an excel-like table view that allows for many such things like tweaking column sizes and whatnot nor the ability to fully customize forms to make data entry more stream-lined.
Crashes a lot

Have not yet been able to create a form as the app crashes about every five minutes no matter what I'm doing. Useless.
Same Problem - fields don't save

I just purchased version 5.1.2 for an iphone 6s. I have the same problem as others. Newly added fields do not show up unless I completely restart the app. I do save the field name during creation - but it makes no difference.
Don't buy until iCloud syncing is fixed

I bought this app to sync with the Mac version (which is an acceptable replacement for Bento) and so that I could have certain data available on my iPhone. Syncing does not work with iPhone version and, from what I can gather from the Tap Forms forums, hasn't worked for a while. So shame on me for not doing my due diligence. The app will serve its purpose if syncing is fixed. If syncing with your computer version of Tap Forms is critical, hold off on your purchase!
Unreliable, but not many options out there

Sadly, there are very few options for databases on the App Store. For three years I've been trying very hard to like Tap Forms, but it just is not usable for mission critical projects. I tried to set up a database for daily use at work but couldn't get the Mac and iOS programs to sync. More recently, I tried to use it for house hunting. Big mistake. Fields were inconsistently implemented; pick lists were super hard to manage (at least if you have more than 20); syncing across an iPhone, iPad, and a Mac did NOT work; any time I worked offline, it kept warning me that it couldn't sync; it was a battery hog when using it all day (used 80% of my battery after 4-5 hours, when another program only used 30%). I wish I could like it! Dev is very responsive, but apps should not require support emails constantly. Even the manual is not very helpful (e.g., does not explain what the different pick list options mean). I guess it's back to spreadsheets for me.
Great support great app

I wish I would have started using this app years ago. It's very powerful and dynamic which could cause usability issues however the support is awesome. I first used this app to inventory equipment at many different locations and had a steep learning curve. The support staff got back to me several times when I needed them. Very pleased!
Excellent well supported database app

I 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.
I use this app almost every day

I 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.
