Great Database
I have been using Tap Forms 5 for many years and find it an exceptional database for tracking all manner of things from inventory, to addresses, to file structures. I run both encrypted and unencrypted databases. It is quick and easy to synch data between my iMac, iPhone, iPad and MacBook. I had a little difficulty transitioning from Tap Forms 5 to Tap Forms Pro, but got excellent help from customer support who even answered questions on Sunday. So far it looks like PRO is going to be an even better experience.

The best Mac database solution
I have been using TapForms since it was first released. I am continually pleased at the ease of use and its power. I highly recommend this product
Quick response /No more stress!
I am a professional artist, and years ago chose Bento to manage my master inventory list including images of my work. Later, I switched to Tap Forms 5, and recently upgraded to Tap Forms Pro (due to Apple’s announcement that Rosetta would not be supported in the future). Brendan answered my questions quickly and thoroughly, relieving any stress I had about migrating my important inventory documents over to Tap Forms Pro. Thank you Brendan!

Honestly; Amazing
Always the easiest database now incredibly so with AI api support. But more importantly, the after support. Immediate email support and dialogue that resolved over one day.👍
Tap Forms Pro
This app is brilliant for what I use it for, Brendan is always approachable for any queries I may have and always with a quick and prompt response and always with a solution too. Great product, great support.
Great app excellent support
Migrated a 4,380-record antiques stockbook with photos from FileMaker Pro. Hit an obscure crash along the way — the developer reproduced it from my file, diagnosed it, and hand-delivered a workaround within days, with a proper fix already in review. The app itself is exactly the simpler, faster database I wanted. Support like this doesn't exist at bigger companies.

Tap Forms Pro
This is an exceptionally polished and feature-packed database app, and it is very reasonably priced. I've been using Filemaker Pro for many years, but their upgrades are ridiculously expensive, so I'm moving all of my databases to Tap Forms Pro. I should also add that the owner of the program answered my e- mailed questions almost immediately. Highly recommend.

Code redeem for subscription fails
I got charged but it didn’t then apply the subscription to the app and yet says the code has been redeemed. Which means there’s stuff I paid for but can’t use. So, life being too short, I gave up.
Excellent app and customer service
I’ve used Tap Forms for years and I’ve always found Brandon to be extremely helpful and timely on email questions I’ve had. The same is true now with Tap Forms organizer Pro database. It works excellently, but I had difficulty migrating it from an older version in my iPhone. He was very detailed and patient with all of my questions through emails. And now it’s working perfectly. I highly recommend this app.

One sync problem after another
If you only need your databases to run on one device, this is a 5-star app. You won’t find anything better. But if you need to sync between two or more devices, you better listen up. Sync is not easy on Tap Forms the way you may be used to with other apps. It doesn’t “just work.” It’s complicated and can be hard to get set up in the first place. Then its complexity makes it vulnerable to failures, and for me those keep happening again and again. The dev really needs to rebuild the sync engine from scratch. I’m in the process of transitioning to a less capable app just to get something that doesn’t break all the time.

Tech assistance
After I inadvertently changed the format of my individually designed data base using TapForm, I was unable to correct the change and feared I lost my design and maybe data. After consulting with TapForm, a simple correction was made and everything reverted to my original design. It is without question one of the finest data type software programs and the service rendered was quick and absolutely wonderful. I strongly recommend this software.

Updating
I am using the new version of TapForms Pro (1.3.1) on my new iMac with the M4 chip. The power and versatility of the program is unbelievable, I am going back to our travel database adding maps, website, and pictures to help us remember. I design my own forms and this format lets me revise and build the depth of purpose like no other. Now adding book cover photos to my wife’s book-reading list brings a personalization.
The photo option is helpful for recording our heirlooms in the house. Besides recording the room and location, the photos are able to be moved around inside the database photo box. I haven’t used the link to other forms yet, but know that is also a powerful option.
Wow! what a program! I am impressed!

Deceptive Trial Pricing - Out $6 for “Trial” and not because I forgot to cancel
Wanted to try the app to see if it was for me. I did, it seems fine enough but not what I was looking for. However I didn’t realize I could only use the trial if I’d set it to annual instead of monthly pricing (which we can presume is so the dev can collect more unearned money from users who will forget to cancel). I set to monthly as a precautionary measure not realizing I wouldn’t get the trial, confirmed, then also as a precaution disabled the auto-renew. Now 11 days later I’m getting a receipt for $5.99+tax for an app I played with for probably less than 3 minutes.
I’m not against subscriptions, but yeah, this is why people hate them. Not sure how much of this was in the dev's hands versus Apple's, but it feels like theft by technicality, and gives me a gross overall impression of the app maker. Enjoy your cut of my $6 you don't deserve.

Invaluable and essential
Ever since the demise of Bento many years ago I have been a Tap Forms user and I have found that unless you want to spring for the excellent FileMaker it really is the only sane database option for most Apple users. Despite a few niggles the latest Pro version is an noticeable improvement for Apple Silicon users and although I initially baulked at the new Subscription model I do appreciate that Brendan (the very responsive dev) needs to be rewarded for all his work and to ensure Tap Forms Pro continues to evolve and provide users with a powerful, workable user friendly Mac and iOS database at a sensible price. If you’re an Apple user and have data you need to store and organise - and who doesn’t, Tap Forms Pro is one of those core essential apps. There can be a bit of a learning curve for first time users but that is now ameliorated by the optional built in AI facility. I use it all day, every day. Frankly life would be much harder without Tap Form Pro.

Continued Extraordinary Support
I’ve been a long time user of Tap Forms both for business and in retirement where I now use it for my daily tasks & appointments. Not being very tech savvy, I have depended on Brendan on several occasions and he always is there to help and spend the time needed to solve my issues.
Update to Pro
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.

So grateful for the help from Brendan
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.

Simply great software and well supported
From old to new
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.
