Leave a Review Tap Forms Organizer 5 Database
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.Show lessPinkprincess675
Not perfect but the best since Bento
I loved Apple’s Bento after having dealt with the excessively overloaded FileMaker Pro for years. I have a small arts business and Bento was just complex enough and yet simple enough to not need to have an entire staff devoted to maintaining my data base of paintings, prints, customers, and sales info. But Apple giveth and taketh away.
Fortunately, along came TApForms!! Clearly they do not have the big support world of Apple to help them out, but they have done a much better job than FileMaker at creating and maintaining an app which can be used on both my iMac and iPad Pro. I hope they keep growing and improving as i haven’t seen anything better..including Google forms and Drive.Show lessDinghyDong
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.Show lessTom Snyder
Flexible db App for the Over-Organized Set
I’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.Show lessDang-yo
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.Show lessJohnF9
Awesome app and developer
I 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.Show lessappfixer
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!Show lessemjay5200
oMG - goodbye FileMaker Pro and hello to amazing customer support
I 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!!!Show lessCindy Griffith-Bennett
Extremely useful and polished
I’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.Show lessEnza's Dad
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!Show lessjkellyg
