Update June 2023 Needs Work
I've used this product for years and like it, but it has some challenges, especially on the iPad mini. The newest update broke my most important form with some sort of dimension change. The title bar is very hard to read in light mode with blue on dark gray. Had to restore my iPad to go back to the prior version.

Does Not Work on iPadOS 15 — Why Is This Still in the App Store???
I’ve used this app on my various iPads for years but when I bought an iPad Pro last year, and restored my apps to it, I discovered that this app cannot be synced with a Mac because it does not ask to access the local network, so it says there’s no Wi-Fi. The iPhone version works but the “zoomed” interface is terrible.

This used to good.
There is no way to save on newer iPad. Worked just fine on my old one.
Poor
This app makes claims that appear to be false. It says that it is a relational database that can be created on the ipad, as far as I can see it can’t. You can create a db but not the relational part. The help system seems to bear little relationship to the application, for instance the field roster is completely different.
I even bought the forms version thinking that this would solve the problem, it did not.
Unfortunately I did not read the most recent review which is three years old.
A definite complaint is will be submitted to Apple.

Loose Ends
I’ve been a HanDBase user in the past and recently had a need for a database on my iPad. So I went back to HanDBase, paid the fee, downloaded the app and got to work. Having entered a small but significant amount of data, I decided to test out how HanDBase could be used to back up this data and thus protect me from future data loss. Unfortunately, the Desktop Connect feature that I used to use on the HanDBase version on my iPhone doesn’t seem to work on the iPad version of the app. I went to ddhsoftware’s support site but couldn’t find help there. I also noted that the support site seems quite outdated (meaning the content, not the form). This leads me to ask the following question: Is HanDBase for iPad being actively supported?
