No loner as great an option for Access Db sync
I have been using the app for over 4 years and loved the fact I could sync wirelessly, create custom forms with subforms, and select which tables and queries I want to sync. The form creation tool while good in function can be a challenge to get things to line up consistently and depending on your desktop resolution settings can produce drastic inconsistencies. Once you get beyond that the product itself has not been upgraded with any improvements in over a year and support has become suspect.
They do not do a good job of letting you know when there are updates to the desktop software. I had recent need to contact the support and they took a week for first response and the attempt to resolve a problem took many days of back and forth because support does not seem to work on US business hours, therefore they lost 1 star for that.
They loose another star because the software is not easy to migrate settings when you get a new computer and it's even worse when you upgrade your phone/tablet because they charge you more money to move the license. I have many apps on my phone that require a license and special configurations to connect to networks & devices but this is the only one that requires me to wait for the vendor support to respond.
Finally the community forums appear to be taken over by spam/junk and no relevant product postings in over a year.

The BEST database in existence!
I depend on this app for my profession and for many other things. It is very easy to use and performs as advertised. It sets up with no fuss, it adopts all common files quickly without error and finds the records the way I want them to. It's works with my home and network seamlessly. I've been glad to watch CellicaDatabase improve the product which improves my information management. It's the best! You won't regret it. Take a little time to learn it. It's not hard. By the way some of the databases I use come from a DOS-based OS from 1999. CellicaDatabase has no problem importing it, using it and entering in / recalling records.

Great App
I have used this App for a few years now and have found it very useful for data information when away from my Laptop. I have several queries on Access Database on my Laptop which I sync and get the search results very quickly on my iPad on the go which I find very useful.
Cellica
I'm in politics. I can create an Access DB and give it to several others with the enterprise version of this software and it self updates a single file by multiple users. About the only product that does so. The field widths can wander on the ipad platform which does frustrate me; however, no other product can do this, and the Cellica team does constantly improve the product. Steve A.

Poor
Looks like it would be pretty cool, if it were possible to create forms besides the two "sales" templates, sadly that does not appear to be an option. Also, I have yet to figure out how to add or delete records for a new database without using a form. At best, this is horribly difficult to use with a steep learning curve; at worst, it is non-functional.

Fantastique !
Fonctionne très bien, comme un charme ! Beaucoup de possibilités et interface très conviviale. Merci beaucoup !
Still waiting for tech and sales support

Nice product - with good support
This app does most of the things I expected pretty well and is backed up by a good level of support. I hit a problem when I updated my PC and the support team were most helpful.
Nice Product/No Customer Support
Like the product.
The good: installs database and form to be used on iPad. Work flawlessly even when offline.
The bad: form is pretty utilitarian, no frills. Customer support is non-existent. I sent two emails to CS over 5 days ago and haven't heard anything.

Could be better
I can't get subforms to work at all. My parent child tables work fine in MS Access but when I create a subform and link the fields in cellica nothing is displayed in the subform at all. Deleted and rebuilt several times with same zero output. I have a device list and a port list with a linking field call device, as I said works fine in MS Access form/subform combination, pretty basic stuff, spend a significant amount of time thinking perhaps I did something wrong, but the design controls are pretty basic and there is no room for mistake. Simply doesn't work for me...therefore DELETE!!
Doesn't support database images, local mapping only....pointless.
