Great value; powerful but easy!
This app is a great balance between power, simplicity, and being visual. I couldn't find any book trackers with the exact fields I wanted, but using sql or a spreadsheet wasn't visual enough unless I also designed an interface. With this app, I was able to import my existing database from a csv and now I can add any field I want, include images, and use symbols and color coding. It was definitely worth the one time cost to upgrade to Ultra; I'm so tired of apps asking for subscriptions when I don't need constant updates or to use their online servers anyway.

Downgraded from Pro to Free
Update: I had to export my collections, delete the app, reinstall the app, then import collections again. Restore purchases and upgrading to Ultra license wouldn’t work.
I have been using the app for a while and purchased the Pro license. With recent updates I’ve been downgraded to a free license and the app is pretty much useless now. I can’t restore the purchase either. It does nothing. Very disappointing. I don’t really want to purchase the new Ultra level.

I love this but…
I was excited to use this until I found out I can’t even do 100+ documents before I have to pay for pro. and I was fine, just one purchase but WHY did you have to add ANOTHER purchase. Like 1 was enough. And it’s only 2 dollars more so imagine the people who have to buy it AGAIN.
Amazing, multi-purpose database creator
Amazing 3D database creator. Multiple use and so, so flexible and customizable. Examples and help manual really helpful. I’ve created multiple databases all within one application, which are able to replace other separate applications.
Still discovering and experimenting new features.
“Support “ respond really promptly.
Hope development of this amazing app continues,

Perfect for my needs
I had been using iDatabase for years to manage a VERY simple database that I want to sync on my iPhone and Mac. But their recent update is incredibly buggy, and has left me with a loss of confidence. So I researched other simple database options and Collections got nice mentions. I must say I agree.
I think too much software has become mired in complexity and so feature rich, that for most users, it’s severe, expensive overkill. So far, this is a nice piece of software at a very reasonable price.
All the features I need have worked flawlessly, and although the needs are simple, they are met with flying colors. If nothing goes wrong in a few days, I’ll be back to confirm, purchase the complete version, and give some more feedback.

Free limited version
Agter weeks of entering data and images, since your last update of the app, lost all my data nothing left even if this is a limited version, there no excuses for wiping all this work down he drain, no use starting again since it might disappear again unless you have a way of recovering all 100 entries i’ve lost…. Ok foune in setting to activate icloud, all’s back.

Somewhat okay, very limited information on actual usage
I have a need for a fairly simple database… 3-4 tables with a couple of relationships and a handful of fixed drop down elements. This program will "sort of" handle this but the relationships are very difficult to setup correctly and you are extremely limited on what information is viewable between them. There is also not an easy way (if at all) to view the linked information… for example, if you had an orders table and an items table (one-to-many), when you look at the orders table all you can see from the items is the first field, none of the additional information which makes it pretty useless. Glad I didn’t waste a ton of money on it.

Excellent!
This is a very customisable App which allows you to set up the different ways to display & sort your data. It is easy on the face of it but once you spend time looking closer - wow! Well done to the Developer!
A Fantastic database that you can tailor to your needs
This is a great database that, after a small bit of trying out things to understand how it works, can do some powerful things. With the only other database I’ve been using now switching to an expensive subscription mode I’ve migrated all my data to this (and that was an easy job using CSV including photos). I’m very happy with Collections.

It would be great if it worked
Confusing, and I couldn’t find anything in the database not even Shrek
Great app
I have found this to be one of the best DB apps, and I’ve tried a few! I purchased it around 5 months ago and it’s performed as I hoped it would.
Great App Tbh!
I love this app. It’s really wonderful, super in depth and it’s great for keeping track of things. I especially love how you can have subdatabases endlessly. Lots of features for getting specific data, too. Would def recommend purchasing the full version (one time purchase)
Beautiful, but….
Using this is a beautiful and rich experience but the inability to edit templates posthumously is a downer, as is the inability to name new documents. I also can’t figure out a way to delete a collection to start over with a new template which could inevitably get rather messy. Maybe I’m just stupid, maybe it’s because I am half asleep, maybe it’s Maybelline. No certainly not the last one.

Collections Database
I have only used this for literally a few minutes but the import of all data was the easiest of any database I have ever used (and I have used a lot)!
Complicated and a lot of missing data
I have use this app maybe a year now. Just use the basic feature as they cant explain well the other features. And data are missing. I thought i just didnt put it in but i have more data that i know its there and gone. I have to find other app that is secure and dependable
True personal DB
I was looking for a solution to build a personal database with inventory and relational capabilities. This app is perfect — it offers just the right level of flexibility at a very reasonable one-time price. I also integrated a QR code system using an Epson P-touch, and everything works flawlessly. Syncing between my devices and my Mac works very well too.

Great app!
It took a little getting used to, but it really does stand out in that it provides a stable platform, all my data is readily accessible, it syncs perfectly, and it’s not subscription based!
Great APP
This App is easy to use and works very well. I would like to make a suggestion though. It would be better if we could name Documents. A long list of Documents being all the same name makes it tough, even though the Search option is good for locating a Field.
Performance Doesn’t Scale Well Past ~400 Entries
Have been using this to store a couple of my collections with relatively complex schemas and summaries. By the time I hit 400ish entries in each, the thing slows to a crawl. On the order of 10+ seconds per click. I likely would have switched to something else already if I wasn’t already so invested. If I see a performance improvement in future I’ll adjust my review to match.

Great customer service
I'm new to this database stuff but the couple of times I was stuck, they responded the next day. I was struggling with some filters and they quickly responded with instructions on how to do what I needed. You don't get that type of service much more these days.
