Clunky back up.

Need to restore from Dropbox to make it match on both devices

Hidden super app, but no updates

The app is simply great, but the developers should either put it free with adds or continue charging for it with the compromise to update it.
It is missing face recognition and starting 2023 it cannot be backed up to Dropbox. I was able to save my .box up to my MacBook Air via AirDrop and restore it on my iPad.
Needs some developers work to keep it up-to-date to change this review to 5 stars again.
The low review is just to catch their attention as their support channel is not answered.
Alfredo.

Security is implied, not real.

Just swipe down when the passcode prompt appears and it goes away. From this we can also be sure the data is not securely encrypted either. eg: no good as a secure contacts directory or password store.

I like this app but…

Please upgrade this app to reorder categories and to create folders and move, copy or add categories or folders in other folders.

Great app. Other reviews make me uncomfortable

Hello, thanks for building such a great app. It’s so easy to use on every level. It’s the perfect app when you have not very tech savvy people working with you. The only bad thing about it is the reviews on how unreliable the app could be for some people. When you have sensitive data that you cannot afford to lose, reading how some people have lost very important info is not very comforting. The app is free. No ads, no request for payments. I have a few apps that request payment, since the apps work great, I would not mind paying at all to get rid of ads or to get other perks. If you put an actual effort on something it is ok to get paid for it . I would gladly pay for Boximize if needed. It has the simplicity for any person to use. To the developer, I don’t see why any other company would like to integrate you app to their platform Or have investors helping you on developing your app to a higher level, where all the small details, problems get sorted out. Having the peace of mind your app won’t go away soon enough would be great, because there’s a revenue there to keep it going. Any comments on my review from the developer would be received with immense gratitude. Great Job. I’ll use work around to make sure the app won’t render my information lost forever. 🤓🤓🤓🤓😰😰😰😰😰

Nice and Easy

Easy to set up and use. Templates can be modified to suit. One drawback is that there is no sync between iPhone and iPad. 5*s when that is implemented

Great App but won’t back up

It won’t back up to drop box, it won’t allow me to add an email. Feels like I wasted my time inputting stuff because I’ll need to start over using a different App

Unaddressed bug

If you add a photo to you listing, it can’t be deleted: the app will crash. Beware not to add photos using the app - it does not optimize them but adds them full size, creating enormous files with no way to delete the offenders

Wow

Fell immediately in love with this app as soon as I began to use it.

Chinese Chinese!

Chinese Chinese!

Dark mode please

This app is beautiful. It will be perfect if we could have dark mode. Thanks

WOW

Read all the reviews as so important to get an idea before buying an app. Such a well made app as was on sale so bought it. Easy to use and a very nice app. THANKS to the developer.

**CAUTION** UNRESPONSIVE DEVELOPERS

I started using Boximize in 2016. I've configured several custom databases that are wonderful and easy to use. You can create backup files and store them on iCloud or dropbox and sync the database to all of your iOS devices independently. So if you add something from the app on your phone and want it on your iPad you have to create a backup file from your phone, save it to cloud storage and then restore it on your iPad.

If you have a static inventory, not a big deal. If you have an active inventory this is a HUGE pain in the neck. It is now 2020 and users have been asking for multi-device syncing that has been “coming” for more than 4 years now. Many other IOS applications are now currently available that allow for one data source file and multi-device and multi user access. Hundreds of hours wasted on great code that has been abandoned and unsupported.

Sorry to say all good things come to an end! Buyers beware.

Nice but missing one IMPORTANT feature

Great UI design and lots of types of lists that you can pick from. However, it doesn’t allow you to manually sort your tasks. It does have options to sort by task name, dates, etc but most of the time I just need to move tasks around in my own order of priority. Due to the lack of this feature, I am unable to use this app for my needs. It’s been this way for years and I have suggested this change before. I like the app so much though that I periodically check it to see if they have finally added this option.

Liked 👍

Creative in smashing note and database together, recommended 😃

Liked Boximize app more than airtable app, Boximize is simpler to use and more useful.

In future update, please add

• Box sorting or order rearrangement
• Dark mode or black background
• Auto sync between iPhone & iPad
• Phone number display human readable e.g. 000.000.0000 (auto period)
• Note display multi-lines text box rather one line
• Font choices

Quite Good

Have been using over 6 months now and I find it very useful. I organize my gardening notes, cross reference foods with recipes in my cookbooks and log where to buy things. I do not use their pre-defines categories. Custom categories are very easy to set up and are much better to suite individual needs.

Updated to the latest version, guess what!

It has been 5 or 6 days now since the problem was reported by several users. Could you please respond to whether the Notes I lost can be restored. I look forward to an answer from you.

The fix 1.9.1 did not bring my notes back. What can you do to make it happen?

Thanks a bunch, lost all my notes. I am not impressed and mad that I have to give 1 star to vent my anger.

What HAPPENED ... fixed thanks

Update:
Red screen issue fixed. Have access to my data again....

Since the last update all my entries are GONE!!! I spend days for my inventory lists and such. Now a blank red screen comes up.

The font has to change

The app has a lot of good features, but needs some improvements, the empty fields should get hidden, edit mode should be enabled via a button, not directly and the most urgent requirement is the font change!

The current font is beautiful, but you can’t distinguish the difference between ‘I l 1’ (capital i, lower case of L and number 1).

If you want to save some serial numbers or your car VIN or chassis number etc, this is very important.

LOST EVERYTHING!!!

Update:
Within 2-3 days, the red screen problem has been fixed!!

Have been using this for quite awhile and really liked it. Was using it on and off, for a couple hours, today. Stepped away and my iPad locked, like it always does. Unlocked the iPad and instead of opening to Boximize, since I had it open just a few minutes before, I get my home screen and it no longer appears to be running. Open the app again and it looks like it is going to start up and then all I get is the red background, with nothing more. Shut down the iPad and restarted a couple of times, but still the same thing. Don’t want to delete it and re-install, because all of my data will be deleted.

Web page says syncing, to all of your devices, is coming soon!
A little late for me.

Will need to use a different app, to restart inventory, that we have been inputting into this app, for over a year. Will leave everything alone, until there is another update, to see if that fixes it and see if the data is still there. Just updated to version 1.9.0, within the last 22 hours, so the next update, if it is brought out with the same speed as this one, will be over a year away. Guess I won’t be holding my breath until the next update.
