Great database app
Tapforms Review I have been using Tapforms for a few years and have now developed my own database apps for my business. Having gained a lot of knowledge using Tapforms, I can honestly say it is the best database app in its class / category for Apple devices. If Bento hadn’t been abandoned then with development it could have been a serious challenger to Tapforms.

I don’t need to contact Brendan at Tapforms very often these days but he blows me away with how quickly he responds. I am way out of his time zone and yet he responds at what I would consider the most unexpected of times. He leaves me wondering if he sleeps at all. I often look at apps in the App Store for a specific task and then realise I could do that in Tapforms if I wanted to develop it. Tapforms does not require the user to pay monthly subscriptions for some service which requires an Internet connection to function properly. At one time I was using FIlemaker and have considered the benefits of going back to it. While Filemaker is a very nice product and has really grea
