I’ve noticed that the new iOS 15.4 update seems to cause it to immediately crash. I really, really, really hope this can be fixed. Please 🙏🏼 *** Update *** The developer was correct. I had moved from a Touch ID device to a Face ID device, and the app was instantly crashing. I deleted and reinstalled TapForms, and as long as I don’t try to use Face or Touch ID on the new device, the app opens just fine. Thanks for the tip! That should get me by a while longer. **Developer response:** If you move from an iPhone that has Touch ID to one that has Face ID this can happen. You would need to re-install Tap Forms and not enable Face ID with this old version. Tap Forms 5 does not have this issue. Version 4.0.9 is extremely old and does not support Face ID. I'm just guessing this is what your issue is as it's the most common crash on launch issue. I would also recommend upgrading to Tap Forms 5 to avoid this issue. Please email me at support@tapforms.com if you need assistance. Thanks! --- Brendan ### 5/5 — Could not function w/o this app! *2021-10-12, version 4.0.9* The ONLY time I had a hitch with this app, I wrote an email to the creator and he responded within hours with the solution. He’s a solo developer. I think some of these low reviews are unfair. I really LOVE this app and use it for everything! ### 4/5 — Great support!! *2021-09-30, version 4.0.9* Switched phones and was working with the developer to get my data back. He kept working with me until we got there!! I appreciated his help because I’ve used this app for a long time and needed the data. He was tenacious! ### 1/5 — Stopped working on is 14 *2020-11-19, version 4.0.9* Not sure why I have to pay (again) for the newer version if this one is no longer supported? How long before you drop support for that one and ask us to pay yet again? **Developer response:** This may be due to an issue with TouchID. Did you have that enabled before? If you email me at support@tapforms.com I can help you solve the problem. Thanks! --- Brendan ### 1/5 — Legacy Product Disabled *2020-02-01, version 4.0.9* Been using Tap Forms for many years, and it has been working fine. Starting in the beginning of 2020, the product NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. Two error messages appear “Form Editing Disabled” and “Record Editing Disabled”. Time to start shopping for a replacement, and Tap Forms will not be on the list. **Developer response:** This is not due to Tap Forms being disabled. There's a switch you can toggle to enable or disable record editing. Tap on any record to view the details. Then tap on the action menu button at the top right. Then tap on the pencil button to toggle editing mode. So please try that and if you still have troubles, please contact me directly at support@tapforms.com and I'd be happy to help you to get it working for you again. Thanks! --- Brendan ### 5/5 — Perfect for GTD - Getting Things Done *2020-01-29, version 4.0.9* I have been using Tap Forms for years for my GTD personal productivity. I have forms for my Vision of my life, 5 Goals for the coming year, 22 Responsibilities this year, 96 Projects to undertake this week and in the coming weeks, and 418 Actions to perform in various contexts this week that each bring me a step closer to my Vision. I also keep checklists, 60 stories I am writing, 11 recipes, 53 inventions, 443 passwords, and plenty of financial information all encrypted in a database that doesn’t need any multinational corporations’ clouds to function. It all resides on my phone, quickly accessible. I also routinely make backups to store offline so if I ever lose my phone, I can easily restore the whole database to a new one. ### 1/5 — Now won’t work *2019-10-16, version 4.0.9* Was great before last update. Now my encryption key won’t work and I can’t get in! May love again if there was a stable fix. ### 1/5 — Issue with Updates *2019-10-07, version 4.0.9* Used to be an amazing database. With 4.0.8 & 4.0.9, database just crashes upon opening. I no longer have access to all of my info. Tried restoring and still just crashes with iPhone XR. Wish they would add FaceID as well. ### 1/5 — Update has corrupted my database *2019-10-04, version 4.0.8* I have used tapforms for a very long time. A recent auto update has corrupted my database and I have lost all of my info. Ridiculous. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2019-07-23, version 4.0.7* Fun to use. Takes a little time to understand how its put together, well for me anyway as I am not database wise. But in a few minutes you are up and running. It’s flexible and you can use it for anything from simple recurring lists to all the data you need in one place for a school. ## Frequently asked questions about Tap Forms Organizer ### What does Tap Forms Organizer do?
