Great app!

I absolutely love this app and have been using it for at least a decade now as my password manager, since long before password managers have become a thing to have. 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.

Response from developer

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

Could not function w/o this app!

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!

Great support!!

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!

Stopped working on is 14

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?

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

Legacy Product Disabled

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.

Response from developer

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

Perfect for GTD - Getting Things Done

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.

Now won’t work

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.

Issue with Updates

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.

Update has corrupted my database

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.

Amazing app

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.

Don’t bother

I’ve used this for years and it was originally fantastic. But it’s nothing but glitches now and the creator won’t fix it because he got greedy and sold out for a new, expensive app with a worse interface than the original. I’ve contacted him several times looking for the original to be fixed so I could keep using it, and he just won’t do it and keeps trying to sell me the new one which I’ve already told him I tried and supremely disliked. Bottom line, don’t waste your time on any of his apps, he just abandons them and then tries to get you to spend more money on newer, inferior products.

Hi Ghashlycrumbs. I'm very sorry you feel this way about Tap Forms. I've been constantly developing Tap Forms for 10 years now. True, the older version 4 of Tap Forms that you're using is no longer being updated. The newer operating system versions require me to keep up with the changes there. The old version uses code that has been deprecated for years now that would require a big overhaul to allow it to be updated to support the newer iOS versions. I asked you via email what the issues were with Tap Forms 5 and that maybe I could work on improving them for you, but you wouldn't give me any details. You just said it was not as good as the old version and didn't provide any any specifics. How am I supposed to change what you don't like if you don't tell me what that is? The feature requests and feedback that I receive from Tap Forms customers is what drives my development. The majority of the Tap Forms 5 interface is much like version 4, but there were new additions that I made such as multiple database document support, the new Photo Grid and Multi-Column List Views, multiple photo support, etc. I'm also currently busy on version 5.3 which will be available when iOS 12 ships. So if there's anything specific that you're not happy with in Tap Forms 5, I'd be happy to take a look into it to see if there's ways I can make it better for everyone. Thanks! -- Brendan

Tap forms on iPad2

Why can I not share my Tap Forms Data on my iPhone 4 with my iPad2 ? Am I missing something?

App doesn’t synchronize anymore

I have the latest Tap Forms apps on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, however every time I try to synchronize it says synchronization failed. I do not know what to do about this.

Excellent database - your creativity is the only limit

I have now been using TapForms for over a year and I continue to find more and more uses for it. Previous review. I have now been using for months and love this app. I have never lost my data. But if I did, I back up my data weekly or more often, sometimes. PREVIOUS REVIEW: The Tap Forms App exceeded all my expectations. You can customize the database forms for anything you can imagine. You can store contacts, passwords, travel information, restaurants, frequent flyer data and much more. For instance, I created a story for each Hebrew character and use that for remembering vocabulary words and how to spell them. It was easy to make up a form to store that data. Anything you are interested in you can store; the only limit is your imagination. I have created my own databases (you have an extensive choice of fields to choose from, such as voice recordings, drawing, phone numbers, locations, photos, text, and so on). You choose which fields are useful for the database you are building. Or, you can begin with forms that already have been designed and modify them to fit your needs. Most of the fields in your databases are elegantly linked to other applications in the iPhone, such as the voice narration, telephone and maps. You can edit or add fields even after you begin to enter data. It has a sophisticated backup system which you need to learn how to use on a regular basis. The App is very stable and the customer support is outstanding. The program does not seem at all simple at first, and there is a learning curve required. It took me several days to master it. Before purchasing, I would suggest that you first download the free Tap Forms Database Lite app and see if it seems to meet your needs. [Several years have passed since my last review and I want to say thank-you so much, again. And thanks for incorporating fingerprint touch as a way to skip password. Keep up the fantastic work.]

No Problems Here

I don't understand why this app is getting such bad reviews. I'm using version 4.0.7 and have no problems. I have not opted to upgrade to version 5, so I guess that's the difference where the others are having difficulties. I have given this app glowing reviews in years past and have used it regularly ever since in my business for customer scheduling. I sync an iPhone and three different generations of iPads at the same time without issue.
I came here to check out what this version 5 was all about; and though I will wait to upgrade, I believe the developer will work hard to correct any issue the feedback reveals.

As far as the folks calling the developer "greedy" for charging $16 for their work product, I can only assume they've never been an entrepreneur. There is nothing wrong with charging for a product, work performed or a service. That's how most people are paid! Grow up already. Give up a couple of those $6 cups of coffee and call it even. 😑

Self sabotage guts a formerly great app

This was a great app that I used for several years. In 2016 the developer decided to change syncing methods. I've tried to adapt to the new syncing method three separate times without success. That's my limit. I'm deleting the app. Now I hope to find another form app with iCloud and/or Dropbox syncing that works half as well as this one does. What a waste. :-/

Tap Forms 5.1 has 4 syncing methods available, including iCloud sync. Please contact me at support@tapforms.com and I can help you work through getting your data to sync. Sorry for the delayed response.

NOPE. GOODBYE.

Rather than respect and appreciate long time supporters this developer has chosen to reward loyalty with greed. A reasonable upgrade fee would have been appropriate. Shame on you for having no existing customer loyalty. I recommend not purchasing this app or supporting this developer as I myself now choose to no longer do. Unfortunately.

I offer a 50% discount for all exiting Tap Forms customers for upgrading to the new Tap Forms 5 version. Please contact me at support@tapforms.com and I can set you up.

Sync is hit or miss

I really wanted to love this software because there is a lot to like. The developer is very responsive. The sync between devices is REALLY hit or miss meaning that it doesn't work very often

Great database app. Looking for geo search

This app is working great for me. I am so glad that Bento died.
The design makes data entry fast and easy.
I would really like a geo search function that would find all entries that were within a specified distance of a point. Now the location field is not very useful for searches.
Syncing works well too.
