  • Finally a simple form app

    This app really does allow you to put together forms without getting lost in database use - and it allows you to export the fields when needed. This app allows me to do my work without worrying about how to make it look. Best of all, I can adjust the layout in the field as needed.

    The templates are clean and simple without a lot of clutter. The fields are easily arranged and can be lined up without problem. This app allows you to also handwrite notes as needed or you can enter text with your iPad's keyboard. I've found that I use the note feature to actually diagram layouts and designs...if I don't like the look, it allows me to erase and start over.

    Great app and terrific response from the designer. Wasn't sure about the money at first but I've come to see that this app was well worth it.

  • Good App

    I love this app. It is a must have. I use it everyday, and one of the only reasons I carry around my iPad. If prints off great forms, and you can design what ever kind of form you want.
  • Could be so much more

    Gem of a great idea for an app with some nice data collection and export features however...

    Disappointing implementation because:
    Can't remove fields once you've created them.
    Can't rename fields.
    Can't delete forms (not in this latest update).
    No calculation fields.
    Stuck with the 6 or 8 form themes which look ok but could be better, in fact it appears the themes have had more development time than the apps overall functionality.
    Desktop image is simply awful and needs changing to make it user selectable or a plain background.
    Icon image for forms could do with the same makeover.

    If the app design had followed the Apple GUI theme / template / guidelines it could have looked slicker and more professional.

    it the app gets some of the above changes then it could be so much more and a really cool niche app.

  • It's great

    This app is just what I was looking for. I have been looking at a lot of the competition, but there isn't anything I could find that could export a PDF. Numbers failed me, as did Bento but this is a fully self contained app that does what it says. You create the fields you want and where you want them. PDF outputs work via email or to any number of PDF supporting apps on iPad. You can also export to various other formats. I really like the drop down lists where you create the options, and times and dates are displayed "now" or they can be changed to what you want. I only expect this to get better and highly recommend it.

  • FormConnect v1.4 - Great so far

    This app has been a great help for us so far - replacing almost all of our company's standard forms which we were struggling by with in Apple's own Numbers spreadsheet app. This wasn't ideal as Numbers' file management system leaves a lot to be desired (if you'd consider it to have one at all...!)

    The forms look great on the iPad itself and are perfect when emailed into the office as PDF's. We're hoping to use the export to CSV function to eventually enable orders to be automatically imported into our bespoke system.

    One feature that would be fantastic would be the ability to populate drop-down lists from an existing table, for example a CSV or XLS file, etc. This would mean we could have a pre-defined product list in, say, Numbers, and the salespeople don't have to manually type products into order forms. Then as new products were added, we could simply send them a new product list by email.

    I have emailed the support team about this and they advised on the same day that it would be added to the list of requested features for future - excellent support from the developers.

    Overall highly recommended, please keep the enhancements coming!

    Looking forward to upgrades
  • Great

    Great, finally an application that can create great looking forms quickly. Very impressed! Haven't figured out how to share my forms between different iPads yet though...
  • Good App, needs better helps

    I really like this app. It is easy to use by dragging and dropping text, number, and calendar boxes wherever you want them.

    I can see this app drastically reducing the amount of paper I use in my work.

    However I have 2 issues with it and they both relate to getting help. When I first downloaded the program it offered a tutorial which I quickly flipped through so I could get into the program itself. I assumed that I could come back to the tutorial at another time, but this does not seem to be the case. I may be wrong, but I can find no way to go back through the tutorial. I wish I would have paid closer attention the first (and only) time.

    Secondly I noticed that one of the sample forms was set up much like a spreadsheet with a column of number fields that were added up to give a total at the bottom. I would like to do this on my own forms, but I can't figure out how. There does not seem to be an option to create this. Maybe the tutorial covered this, but alas, I can't go back and take it again.

    I hope this can be made clear in future additions. If so I would be happy to give this app 5 stars out of 5.

  • Just fantastic

    In case anyone is looking at using iPads as the way forward and eliminating paper use, Formconnect is the way to go. Last year i paid a company over 4K to design forms to be used on the iPad. These never worked and froze. This app for £9.99 is a barging and the best app i have purchased, in just one week me and my colleges designed all our company forms to use on the iPad, and it is fantastic. The time and money this is going to save if extreme. All our records have to be kept for up to 40 years, the amount of scanning that we used to do and filing is now reduced by 95%.

  • Made me look like a super star!

    I create procedure and protocols for food safety and was facing an audit in a few days. In 7 minutes I was able to create a form that included every thing I needed. When we went into the facility and the auditor pointed out an item that needed attention I would fill out my new form in seconds, add a photo and email it to an individual within seconds. Before we would even leave the area an employee would be there taking care of the issue. Eventually the auditor caught on that wasn't physically talking to anyone but he saw all the issues being taken care of and asked how I was doing it. I showed him and he was blown away and said since we were able to handle the corrective actions so quickly that he would remove them from the points deduction. This app allows you to create the forms you need so quickly and makes them so functional I can't imagine using anything else from here on out! Thank you for this app!!
