Good App

This is a very good, very flexible, database for keeping track of whatever you may want to track. I use it for automobiles, motorcycles, maintenance, etc. It can easily back up to iCloud or dropbox. A brief pick up with the app not working the developer was responsible and fixed it immediately. I have been using this app since 2015 and it’s a really good simple database, that’s very flexible.

Hi Pete1115, thanks for the feedback! Please update to the latest version: the issue that blocked access has been resolved, and if you've purchased the app you can keep using it without paying again.

We'd really appreciate it if you'd update your review once it's sorted. 🙂 All the best, Apimac

Can’t use at all without buying

I found no way to view app without buying for $60. No sample db. No image of screens. No discussion of flat file or relational. No limited use.

料金を払ったのに

有料買い切りアプリだったので購入したのにサブスクに切り替えるよう強制してきます
サブスクは構わないですがそれなら以前払った料金を返して欲しいのですが

No longer any use

Use this app for years but this version refused to load after adding a new book to the database. Absolutely useless and I have now deleted all versions of it and started using Numbers which at least works.

Cannot enter negative number!!

We can no longer enter a negative number in a number field on the IOS (iPhone) version. Please fix ASAP?

Broken and forced subscription

Dropbox tools have not worked at all for sometime now even with the recent update, and now they are forcing a Subscription to use it. This app is getting deleted and leaving an opportunity for a new player to take its place.

Was good.

This used to be a pretty decent app, I used it to back up a database I made in the numbers and Excel, for my vehicles just because it was designed for that. I hadn’t used it in a while and opened it today and now they want me to purchase it to even use anything that I’ve been using for years. Not limit some features, totally purchase it to do anything. I would say don’t buy it. I’m going to delete it off of my iPad, iPhone and I’ll continue to use Numbers or Excel. I can make my own data databases anyway.

Good app, Overpriced

The app is good, but it still lacks some stability—especially considering the USD 80 lifetime price.

Used to be free and smooth

Not sure what happened but after the last update it became slow and glitchy and now it has a few to use. Not worth it.

Where's my decimal point?

I have an inventory database and on this latest update the decimal point has disappeared from the field where I put the cost of items I buy.

App is broken

Bought the app for $1.99, it worked for a while, there was an update and now it doesn’t work. They want us to pay a subscription after we already paid =\

Backup will not open

After a prompt response from developer, managed to recover existing database. Many thanks.

Happy with the App

Highly recomend app

Poor Support -App broken

The app has been broken for about a week with no promise fix. The Dropbox tools don’t work. Dropbox updated their app and it broke the linking function of iDatabase. I can’t backup or export my databases. Using iCloud tools are a joke because it puts the files somewhere hidden where they can’t be accessed from the Finder or browsing iCloud. The only support option is a worthless AI chat. 🙄 Besides that, I found the app useful…but now it’s not!

The Dropbox issue is fixed in the upcoming update, along with several other improvements. Our support team is now also fully available if you need help.

Outdated Support-Dropbox link doesn’t work

iDatabase is easy to use, allowing users to create files and folders from scratch.

However, the support documentation is outdated, primarily from 2017 and 2018, leaving users to figure things out on their own.

Additionally, while there is a feature to back up to Dropbox, the “Link Account” function is not working. I tested this on an iPhone 16 with the latest iOS and an iPhone 6S running an older iOS, and the issue persists on both devices.

It is worth the $0.99 and I would recommend it to friends.

I am able to create backups of iDatabase folders in the cloud and from there Airdrop to my wife’s phone and allow us to have the pw sinc. I can also backup in the cloud.

RECOMMENDED!!!

Format de Date

Pourriez-vous ajouter le format international de date ? Année, mois, jour

OK database engine

This is an OK database engine for a flat file structure with limited capacity. Formatting is pretty limited for instance you cannot define a number as currency, just a number and zero digit for that matter.

I have made a long hard search for “simple” databases and this takes the cake. Oh do I wistfully remember the days when Apple’s Bento did everything that this one does and more. It seems that “progress” is moving backwards.

You can’t use the tab key to move between fields, you have to work it like a monkey with your finger or pointer to move fields. This is one basic thing that should be fixed, pronto.

I tried using the iMac version as a trial run. Downloaded OK and APP started up. Ran an import from iCloud and then saw the same databases I have on my iPhone / iPad. Double-click and nothing happens. I want to see that this bit works before I pay for the desktop version.

But oh, Bento was so much better. Formatting of fields, layout precision, tab that works and it was a true multi-user database. iDatabase is a one user only database that can be swapped from device to device. There is no multi-user system and I accept that this will never be on ApiMac’s development radar.

Disappointed

I started by creating a database - worked. Then I entered some records. Came to look at my records and they were all empty. Suddenly app crashed. Tried again. Picked a record from list which was empty and edited it to enter the data I originally expected. This worked then app crashed. This is version 9.0. Think I’ll write my own it might be easier.

Only soso

Got it to keep track of people so I can learn names. I don’t want to add them to my contacts. However when you take pics with your phone or import they are so huge and there is no way to edit in the app. A database doesn’t need 15 megapixel photos. So if there was a simple cropping feature and file size reduction it would make the program useful to me. Presently i need to remember to do all editing first and then import. Would love to take pic, import and name. Then later edit and reduce picture file sizes when i am not busy with clients.
