### 5/5 — Update to Pro

*2026-08-21, version 1.3.1*

Having used Tap Forms 5 for several years I have recently upgraded to Pro. This was a simple process and the certainty of continued support is worth the price. On the few occasions I have needed support, the developer has been both prompt and focused on solving the problem - especially given the 8h time difference between Alberta and UK. I have no hesitation in recommending the App.

### 5/5 — So grateful for the help from Brendan

*2026-08-18, version 1.3.1*

I’ve been using TapForms through several upgrades and I’ve been happy with it. But I have a new Mac laptop and needed to modify and migrate my databases to Tap Form Pro to continue using it. One stubborn little database refused to migrate and I couldn’t make it cooperate.  I was so frustrated.  I contacted Support and Brendan replied.  He emailed me many good suggestions and even sent a video.  And he was so patient!  The problem was resolved and I’m on my merry way, continuing with this useful program.

### 5/5 — Comprehensive

*2026-08-18, version 1.3.1*

Simply great software and well supported

### 5/5 — From old to new

*2026-08-14, version 1.3.1*

I was having problems getting my old files to work with the new app, Brendan was amazing at saving all my data and made sure it all worked for me on the new app. Amazing service, could not be more happy with this.

### 5/5 — Long time customer

*2026-08-14, version 1.3.1*

I was introduced to Tap Forms in 2014 when the Bento inventory program I was using was re-marketed as an industrial vs Mac OS supported tool.  Fortunately my computer literate husband recommended the Tap Forms App which had already been on the market for at least 4 years as it served his own geekier needs for data management.  I soon discovered how easy it was to migrate my in-progress document and continue it with a lot of new features within (then) Tap Forms 1.5,   The app has since evolved with newer versions, most recently Tap Forms Pro.   

Tap Forms does far more than just inventory which I dwell on only because my ~2 gigabyte inventory file is not just word descriptive and numerically helpful but has multiple photographic views of my individual collectibles.  The developer, Brendan Duddridge, continued to improve his brainchild and it works seamlessly for big business programmers as well as the more casual users like me.  It has been referred to as a digital filing cabinet but it does so much more.  If you need to manage data, the developer has done all the hard work so you don't have to.   He is also extremely helpful.  Without reservation, I highly recommend Tap Forms Pro to you.

### 5/5 — Great database, with actual customer support

*2026-08-12, version 1.3*

I’ve used Tap Forms 5 since 2023 and just migrated over to Tap Forms Pro. Ever since the first setup Brendan has provided fast and personalized support to answer any questions. This was no different with the migration to Pro. Tap Forms is easy to set up and use, and I’m no tech wizard by any stretch of the imagination. I didn’t use a template but created my database from scratch in 5, completely based on my needs. I love how it’s adaptable when needs change. I’m an artist and use it to store info and photos of the work I make, the exhibitions each piece has been in, where it’s located, etc. The migration to Pro and data transfer worked without any issues. Big thumbs up for Tap Forms and for superb customer service by a real human!

### 5/5 — Tap Forms Pro GREAT!

*2026-08-10, version 1.3*

Tap Forms Pro is amazing. The developer, Brendan, goes above and beyond regarding Help and customer service. What are you waiting for - get Tap Forms Pro now!

### 5/5 — An excellent app and good personal support.

*2026-08-10, version 1.3*

I had used TapForms 5 for years and never found its equal for a personal set of databases. Upgrading to Tap Forms Pro was straightforward with minimal tailoring to suit. One database did have a “locked” problem but this was quickly sorted out with support.

### 5/5 — Tap Forms Pro

*2026-08-08, version 1.3*

I have been using this software for a large plant database (3000 records) for over 6 years. It works well is very interactive and allows many users with very little database background to understand the processes.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-06, version 1.3*

I’ve just started with Tap Forms Pro and I am a former Tap Forms 5 user.  I really appreciate the discount and all of my former databases transferred easily from Tap Forms 5 to Pro.  I am alb etc get the same functionality and more.  I am learning how to really maximize my use of this great new software.
