iData Mobile Plus is a flexible, easy-to-use database application that lets you organize, manage, and keep track of any kind of information that you need to have available at all times, such as lists, inventories, and rosters, as well as sets of random information of all kinds. Create as many datafiles as you like. Each datafile can have its own structure, and as many records as you need. A record will have a Notes area, along with any fields you specified when you created the datafile. The Notes area can contain styled text and embedded images. Insert photos from your Photo Library, or use the Camera to insert a photo. Locate your data in a datafile using record filtering and/or text searches. Add a password and Touch ID to the app as an extra layer of protection for your datafiles. Synchronize to iData Pro on the Mac.
