If you ever find you repeat yourself when handling emails from customers, group members or pupils, and having to type the same thing over and over again, or look up the same information, then FAQ is the app you need. FAQ is an “Email Composer” that holds all the information you use regularly, such as answers to questions, instructions , warning and legal text, or maps and diagrams. It takes just a few moments to combine the elements you choose into a custom reply, and wrap it with a suitable greeting and ending. This edition of FAQ adds support for the increasingly-popular Markdown markup language, allowing you to easily add formatting to your text for font style, lists and web and image links (See http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ for more details of what Markdown can do). If you don't need Markdown support, we recommend our "FAQ" app, on (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/faq-support-your-customers/id459458828) which helps you format text directly onscreen, rather than through Markdown. ****.5 - "A powerful productivity app"- Appdictions.com Every single user review so far for our earlier, non-Markdown version has been 5-stars, here are some examples from our US users  ***** "Must-have app for business" - Steve Kay  ***** "Elegant to use...setup was a breeze." - Jeremy Neas  ***** "Slick, professional, right on the mark" - tahster  ***** "Saves TONS of time.

Formbook: the revolutionary personal database app. Formbook is a new generation database app in which you create form based notes to easily store information. Formbook is the perfect app for structured information note taking. With Formbook, notes behave like database forms: create a notebook and define the fields you need to store your information. Form based notes have amazing benefits: - Gain a huge amount of time while taking notes as you just need to fill in form fields. - Instantly obtain chart stats on the data contained in your notebooks. - Share notebooks for collaboration with other Formbook users. Here are some usage examples. Create notebooks to: - Keep track of your progress in sport training. - Remember your favorite restaurants in places you visit. - Store your recipes. - Follow to do tasks. - Prepare a trip by describing the places to visit. - Keep track of any object inventory (with barcode reader). Formbook comes with a powerful dashboard feature that visually displays charts on your data. Personalize your charts and analyse data in detail. Formbook is cross device: notes are automatically synchronized on your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch via iCloud. Formbook is also available on your Apple Watch: access your notes and notebooks directly from you Apple Watch. Formbook is powered by AI: save time with the new automated form builder. Enter your notebook name and Formbook infers the database fields. Choose among 30 form field types when conceiving your notebook structure: - Short text field - Long text field - Secret text field revealed by FaceID or TouchID - Code text field (programming languages) - Number - Currency - Stepper (number) - Slider (number) - Calculation (using the data from other fields) - Yes/No button - Date and Time fields - Duration - Images and photos - List of elements (with optional checkboxes) - List of tags - Rating (with stars) - Email (with compose button) - Address (with map access) - Phone number (with compose button) - URL (with browse button) - Barcode and QR code (with scan button) - Current location (latitude, longitude, address) Export your notes as PDF file and CSV file to use the data with spreadsheet apps.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Formbook holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Formbook has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of FAQMark Support Your Customers's written reviews are positive against 80% of Formbook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FAQMark Support Your Customers ships an update every 8 months, Formbook every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
