Disappointing for individual users
I have been using FileMaker constantly for over 20 years at work and at home as single user (no collaborations and no need for others to access my databases/apps). What is shameful is how Claris/Apple crippled the mobile app so it cannot access file on iCloud Drive (or sync with iCloud). There is no reason whatsoever for this. I can understand that business users must use their cloud service or severer, but not individual users like myself. I know the iPhone and iPad mobile apps are quite capable of opening databases created on the Mac, and I have managed to do that in prior versions (probably an unintentional bug). I really don’t understand why Apple/Claris deliberately choose to irritate their most loyal customers. There other database apps, some very new, that sync with iCloud and work on all Apple devices, but nothing matches the power, ease of use, and stability of FileMaker.
