Past its prime

Bought and used the app during the age of Intel Macs. Won’t run on a desktop now.
“iOS 3.1.2 or higher” !?Documentation is rubbish. No longer need a relational DB. Looking elsewhere.

Very useful tool

I have been using HanDBase since iPhone4 and it is very flexible to manage my investment and various daily databases. I will highly recommend to install this App

2031 is the highest date you can enter!

BEWARE! I discovered this bug luckily before 2031 so I have a while to find a replacement. The Dev says he has no interest in fixing it.

20 Years!

I may have been using this app for nearly 20 years and it is STILL my favorite and most used app ever! Seriously!

It has been VERY stable through multiple iPhone upgrades and I think I may have even started way back with a Palm Pilot!!!!

I definitely think some modifications are in order, but even if nothing changes, at this point, this app has added years of practical, efficient data management AND a ton of fun!

Best database

Still with garbage characters in date. Please fix.

Super App

Kommt zwar, was die Konfiguration der Benutzeroberfläche und Formeln angeht etwas altbacken daher ist aber von seinen Möglichkeiten die Benutzeroberfläche selbst zu gestalten und sogar komplexe Berechnungen durchzuführen unschlagbar. Wenn man sich mal eingefuchst hat gibt es fast nichts was man nicht an Berechnungen machen kann. Ich nutze die App schon eine gefühlte Ewigkeit und bin immer noch sehr glücklich dass es sie gibt.

My most used app

This is an excellent application. I’ve been using it for years and I have over 80 databases. It is so useful that it has a coveted position as one of my four Home Screen dock apps.

I use it to track my DVD collection, products I have purchased, movies I have watched, payments to various vendors, and many other lists.

It is very useful and flexible because you can see data in so many different ways by sorting and selecting on various fields.

Indispensabile

Non esiste nessun altro database nell’intero AppStore che faccia le stesse cose e con la stessa semplicità di HandBase.
È un’app indispensabile per chiunque abbia la necessità di gestire un database (relazionale o semplice).
L’acquisto è ultra consigliato!

Data loss

I have repetedly lost data since an encrypted database got corrupted. Both database as well as desktop version are outdated and not maintained. It took the support 10 days to answer my urgent request and the reply was that this error is known but not understood, along with the cynical remark that if no recent backup exists this would be a goog lesson learned. I can only strongly discourage you from the usage of this faulty product.

Love it! But…..

I have used this app to create multiple databases, but lately it’s been crashing often. I hope the developer continues to update it. I’d be sorry to see it leave the App Store.

Response from developer

Hello, thanks for posting the review. I am working on fixing the crash that happens sometimes upon launch. Hope to have a new release out with this addressed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So Good

Been using it for 20 years and still using it.

12 Year User

I’ve had HanDBase on all my phones from the iPhone 4 to the 15 Pro Max. There’s always something I want to keep track of and I’ve never found an app better for it. And now that I can plug in a cheap and handy USB scanner, it’s even more useful.

為什麼沒有傳統中文?

我從 Palm 掌上型電腦就用你們的產品,當時有相容傳統中文,不知道為什麼這麼多年了, iOS 上,卻沒有相容傳統中文?

good multi-purpose dbase

I've been using Handbase since the PalmOS days. Still does a good job with lists and records.

This app truly amazing

This amazing database help me organize my clients contact and other lists and I have been using it for many years since 2004 when Palm PDA first started. What I like about this software is, it do not need large memory to run the software and more friendly user than Microsoft Excel.

Was great, now basically useless

I really loved this app, it was a great way to create secure databases of whatever I needed. But I also need to be able to update those databases and add new information, and now whenever you try to update an existing record, the app crashes and the info does not get saved. I emailed the company, but they couldn’t even be bothered to respond.

New update

Used this app for about 15 years, I had it on my Palm pilot! The latest update has mucked up the colors terribly. Someone must be color blind. You’ve got white on light grey in the search field and blue on dark grey in other fields. It’s very poorly legible and I don’t understand the rational at all. You should have a classic setting to let the user change it back if they like.

Still The Best

This has always been, and still is the very best database program out there. It has a long history and hopefully a long future because many users still rely on it!!!

Extrem gut!

Hervorragendes und sehr flexibles Datenbankprogramm für iOS. Externe Backups der Datenbanken können sehr einfach über E-Mail gemacht werden. Schöne Formulare sind schnell und einfach erstellt. Eine wirklich sehr empfehlenswerte App!

Great and simple database

I’ve been using this app for the past 5 years. It is great, simple to use, and has all the complex features for keeping track of everything you can imagine.

Simply create your template, then add your data.

I have never had a problem with the software, and have created over 20 databases, some with over 700 records.

Thank you.
