Good but has some limitations
It is made for the iPad with better interaction than using forms on a regular computers, however, there are some limitations. Since typing on the iPad is not as good as doing it on a full size keyboard, it would be more useful to be able design forms using MS Word or similar software then convert these files types to Formconnect instead of just the other way around. Also, the lack of ability to copy across pages makes designing long forms difficult using this app.Show lessTW2010
Excellent.
This app has proven to be very easy to use. If you have any experience with building forms this will be a cake walk, but even a beginner with be up and running in no time.
I like that I didn't have to have a form built in excel or word, but rather you just start placing controls on the form you are building. This step alone saves having to figure out how to import something that may or may not work on importing. Or the idea of having to pay someone to transcribe the existing paper forms you have into a useable database.
Having this in the field is a valuable way of doing things and is worth not having to drag around paper with you. I purchased this app for one form, a "hazard assessment". Within 2hrs I had created a 4 page form, that looks great, is capable of being emailed as a PDF to the client, is user friendly to the guys in the field, and is a great reminder of the work that was done that day for invoicing uses. All this for under 10 bucks. This is a bargain as I just about paid 35 bucks for a program that had five forms but only one would be specific to my needs. Now I have something that can be used for any type of data recording I want. Anything you fill out on paper can now be down on this app.
And so all of you know I am not affiliated with this product in any way, I am just impressed at how well it worked for me and it's simple easy to you interface.

Just fantastic
This is the app that I have been looking for, that none of the many others can do! It's a data base how you want.... It is easy to use , and PDFs up just like in the pic. I made a report template and data base in 1/2 an hour, sitting on the couch. It did what I wanted it to do, and how I wanted it to do it. It's great!Show lessUnknown Comment
Excellent Form Input app
This App is very well developed. It does alot for only $10. Most of the forms programs with these features cost a lot more. There are a few things I emailed about and the developer returned my emails in a matter of minutes so the support on this app is great. There are a few things I would love to see added to the app, several of which the developer said would be in version 1.3 coming out this fall. I would love to see the ability to sync with google docs. Overall a great app and would definately recommend it to anyone.
Thanks!Show lessDunkin4gzus
Makes the iPad a real business tool
This app works like it says it will with great support from the makers. I've emailed them about a couple of points and received very prompt replies.
The app itself is just what we as a business were looking for. It justifies us buying iPads for all our contracts managers on it's own. Now we can convert virtually every form into an electronic format. Site instructions, sub contract orders etc can all be filled in at site on the iPad and emailed instantly to the office. The benefits in streamlining the workflow are obvious.
The one improvement that would really make this invaluable would be an option that when you lock the signature it locks the whole record. At the moment it only stops the signature being edited but does not prevent the rest of the information being changed. This allows one thing to be signed for then the details changed. Clearly not ideal. Adding this one tweak would really make this the app every business should have. As it is I can't think of a business who would not be able to benefit from using this app anyway. Highly recommended.Show lessMagiKelly
Look no further (It just gets better!)
Put simply, this app is brilliant.
I have been trawling the Internet for an effective means of custom form creation for days now and FormConnect is, in my opinion, the best of them all.
The forms are easy to create or you can customise one of their existing ones. The export process is smooth and trouble free - email direct or export to a cloud solution such as Dropbox.
My only concern initially was how to deploy a custom form to multiple iPads as, without this, the app would only have been useful on a single iPad......... BUT IT'S EASY! Email it across in the right format and FormConnect on the additional iPad(s) will import the custom form with no fuss.
In my search for a custom form creator I found many apps, each with some good qualities, but was left wishing I could pick the good features from each of them and somehow put them all together. FormConnect does just this.
It enables easy, professional looking forms to be created
It allows for easy exporting of both completed forms, in multiple formats, and the form template for deployment to other devices.
It represents Excellent value for money,
If you need to create and deploy custom forms, look no further........
The subtle tweaks in Version 1.2 are just that. Subtle, discreet but excellent!
This app gets better and better.
Text alignment and sizing. Multiple record selection for exporting. Brilliant conversion into PDF so all graphics display as intended.
Cant wait for 1.3!Show lessChris Bell
Excellent Application for Many Different Uses!
I love this application!! It is very easy and intuitive to use, and works exactly as demonstrated on the company's web site. The developers have been very helpful and accomodating when I contacted them about additional features that I would like to see. In fact, a couple are expected in the 1.3 version release. As it is, I give it five stars, and as they continue to improve, I wish I could go above that.
Working for a school district, we have A LOT of forms that must be filled out "in the field". I tried using PDF annotation apps, but they actually made it harder to fill in the forms than just using pen and paper. With this app, I was able to build a duplicate of the forms and easily fill them out. With FormConnect, you have many different ways to collect information depending on your needs. The tagging and indexing features are great for organizing all of our paperwork in a way that is easy to retrieve quickly.
When I showed it to my colleagues, they came up with many other ways we could use it, and they also were able to start building forms without any training. Quite simply, this single app has greatly improved the way we gather information, and share that information within our department. This was the type of application I had in mind to use when we bought iPads for our department.
If you need to gather information outside of a formal setting, then buy this app!Show less2 Tone in Texas
Dr.
This is a terrific product. The developer and staff are responsive and the app gets better with each revision. We use ipads for each patient encounter: collect history, record interview and exam findings, provide customized diagnosis and treatment plans and prescriptions. Now with AirPrint we can print the record for our file, print the bill and insurance for the insurer, and print or email instructions and prescriptions for the patient, all before we leave the exam room. This works as well as we hoped, in every way.Show lessDjkhvkjgvijgvi
Solid Form Creation Today with Great Potential
I selected FormConnect after looking at as many similar app's as I could find and considering whether some of the other checklist/to-do app's that I already have could do the job. Eventually I decided it was worth trying FormConnect... I wanted to create some forms for an auditing project to avoid paper and laptop work while on-site. Within a few hours of work, I had a few forms already built.
There are some features you expect that aren't there yet, and some options are a bit different from what you see in a typical app'; however, the features that FormConnect already offers make it a solid performer for my needs. Understanding that many of the features I'd like to see are already on the development roadmap, I'm looking forward to more and more in coming months.Show lessI. Knappt
It's changing my business
Just, wow. I was looking for a flexible database, with an easy to read interface to help me keep track of my properties and projects. No complicated coding, just easy to read forms and you can link specific fields! I wanted to try Bento, but after watching videos on it, it was not flexible, and only syncs with macs. Here I can design a form for WHATEVER I need! If I notice I need more information, I don't have to just accept pre made templates and limited field types. I modify it immediately and continue working. I've used this app for a week and it has already changed the way I keep track of all the paperwork and contacts I need for any project.Show lessZCarlosZ
