### 2/5 — It’s ok database programmers but not users

*2025-10-05, version 3.8.17*

The product has several templates that you can use, but those are very canned. To get this database to work for this price, require somebody to know some thing about database and software programming. I wanted to add nested tables and the forum didn’t help. Neither did customer support. 

For the average user, I could recommend.MobiDB, HanDBase or Memento instead.  

If you are a professional, I suspect you would want something more powerful than this.

### 4/5 — La fecha de nacimiento ok en esta versión

*2024-11-29, version 3.8.17*

la fecha de nacimiento en la app en el iPhone legacy si funciona.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-03-01, version 3.8.5*

La meilleure base de données sur iPad, iPhone et Mac synchronisée sur le Cloud.

### 5/5 — Ninox legacy what’s that all about?

*2022-12-27, version 3.7.14*

Tried Tapforms…came back to Ninox much more intuitive.

### 2/5 — Bait and switch

*2022-12-05, version 3.7.10*

This is a not so easy database for new users and especially if you are not a programmer. The interface is versatile if you want to sit thru hours of webinars with a monotone speaker that makes you want to shoot yourself. However once you grasp the concept, pretty functional. However there is zero live help. Also, when I purchased subscription it was 29.99 with up to 5 users…. Today I go to log in… my account is disabled and they want to charge me almost $1200 for use of my database. Email support and they tell me to log on and renew… so if you want your business to be held hostage… use at your own risk.

### 4/5 — It works for me!

*2022-08-30, version 3.7.0*

I just wanted to create simple databases and have not needed to dive into the depths of this programme. The thing I like most is that the developers regularly release updates.

### 1/5 — Nightmare database

*2022-08-09, version 3.6.10*

You pay, there's no support, you need a paying subscription to use the forum. 

The software is not intuitive and most solutions require you to write code.

If you're looking for an easy to use database, this is not it.

### 4/5 — Très bonne appli de gestion de bases de données

*2022-07-29, version 3.6.10*

Ninox est une excellente appli de bases de données. Elle est complète et relativement simple d’utilisation. Beaucoup de tutos sont disponibles pour bien la maîtriser. 
Quelques améliorations sont, selon moi, nécessaires.
1 - Avoir un dark mode sur toutes les plateformes (MacOS, iOS et iPad) ;
2 - Pouvoir aussi passer en mode paysage.
Merci !

### 3/5 — Fallo al cargar fotografías

*2022-05-15, version 3.6.3*

Al buscar las imágenes en la galeria y seleccionarlas no las carga, aparece el campo imagen vacio… sin embargo al hacer una foto la carga perfectamente.

### 5/5 — App imprescindible para bases de datos con iCloud

*2022-04-21, version 3.5.14*

App imprescindible para trabajar con bases de datos compartidas entre tus dispositivos via iCloud (usando la app de un solo pago). Fácil, intuitiva y con tutoriales muy bien hechos (en inglés) por YouTube.
La empecé usando para el trabajo y ahora la uso para casi todo.
