Once purchased !

Once I purchased this app, I was little disappointed.

Fonctions Unlocked are below my expectations, for example the calculated fields are very poor in options, I’m wondering if rounded numbers are available and so.

exporting to the csv file caused desired sorting losing…

Hope better in upcoming updates
Thx

… wow. This is amazing for collectors, catalogers

Found this due to Lenscape, which I love. This app is PERFECT. Syncs between devices and allows me to catalog things. I do it via notes now and this is WAY better. Logging what movies I watch, what records I have, etc. It’s flexible and seriously exactly what I want.

Super produit

Super mais je mets que 4 etoiles car il n’evolue pas vite. J’aimerai une gestion des filtres plus avancée

Totally Brilliant

For one fixed cost Formbook Does much more than expensive monthly payment solutions.
It’s AI got me going with a well setup database to log my conversations in less than a few seconds. Very Highly recommended.
A resounding well done to the developer. The spirit of Apple is still alive !

Almost there

This is awesome. One can create notebooks based on fields. Simple and very easy to use. Usability goes pretty far.

One thing that is lacking is the ability to filter. Another is to have the ability to move notes between notebooks as long as the fields are the same.
