"HanDBase for iPhone is a very powerful and customizable database. There's really no competition to HanDBase, and given their long history and track record in the handheld world, HanDBase will be adopted quickly in businesses where custom databases are needed. At [Price], this app is a bargain." TUAW.com review
"If you’re sick of buying [...] iPhone/Touch applications that don’t live up to their hype – then you should look at HanDBase" GearDiary.com review
We are a world leader in the mobile database space and have compatible solutions (sold separately) for desktops, synchronization to programs like Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Filemaker, and most ODBC enabled apps. See our web site for more details and options.
Please Note: The HanDBase database format does not support Unicode, so while English and most European languages are supported, other languages are not.
Since you are looking for a DB app this is worth your time to test for your needs.I am very pleased with this app for the price point I bought it a few years ago for one purpose, to have one database on my iPhone for a particular group of information about Veterans who died in service from my county in Ohio, U.S.A. and that is all I still use it for. I do not use it for math functions as I have engineering apps for that.I received excellent fast support right after I bought the app and have not needed any additional support since.While I have another list on a spreadsheet that builds a webpage on the fly, I can import that list to my phone to be able to display the data in a custom form I created on the phone within the app or on my computer. The form creator adding is a must for me but I admit creating forms on such a small device is a bit tedious but not terribly hard. I have found for me at least, The PC version to crate forms works ok but it does seam a bit "cludgy" but I have not had the issues other users say they experienced. At the time I bought this it was really the only solution for what I wanted available and I have not searched for anything else since I bought it.Since I use 1Password app for passwords I have no need or desire to store passwords in this app. In my view it is worth the time to try it for iPhone database purposes.
Promising app w big limitations
The Hawk
This app has an interesting and long lineage dating back to the palm. Unfortunately it is hampered by trying to support too many platforms and just one or two developers behind it.Pros: extremely cost effective text based database app. Surprising extensibility. Supported by dozens of user supported db templates.Cons: very erratic support. Poor desktop synchronization. Limited logic capabilities. Field limitations. No editable calculated fields. No ability to mass update calculated fields on import.Final verdict: great for the price but you get what you pay for.Ive been building a mini crm app on this. Surprising what i can do. However the pc based client cannot replicate iphone functionality 100% so ive ended up doing all my design and data updates on the iphone. Save yourself money-only buy the desktop version if you either need a backup copy or if you have simple data updates u need to do. Dont think you can enter data on the phone and then mass update it locally because it doesnt work under many conditions. Also recommend you buy the forms designer.Also, note the field logic is limited, you cant override it at the record level, and there is no currency value. There is the ability to create multiple databases and link them together which is very cool.
Takes me back to PalmOS days
cacofonix1
I used to love this software and really missed it on iOS. Struggled with a couple of alternatives for the past 3 years and stumbled on it today. Immediately paid for the forms module (which was part of the core software back in the day). Small price if they keep it updated. Looking forward to re learning this gem.- Do not see interaction with Calendar & Contacts like it used to on PalmOS- Limiting of calculations to 5 operations and lack of If Then is very limiting- Dont like that iPad has to be a separate purchase.
Crashes constantly
Navanzati
This app worked OK until I had more than approx 50 records in a db. Each db is pretty simple, an artist’s painting db, each record with minimal fields. When it approached 50 records it constantly crashes upon data entry, doesn’t save the data, and/or refuses to even open. I can’t even scroll through the records without it crashing. Bought the desktop app thinking at least I can still be productive if the phone app is crap. Nope, the desktop app is equally crap. Doesn’t do me much good to sync if it doesn’t carry over the actual photos of the paintings. A complete waste of money. Tried emailing the developer more than once and have never received a response. Bad coding, bad apps, and bad customer service. Tracking via Pages or Numbers would be more productive, more efficient, and less infuriating than using this abomination of an app.
Bug fixes: Open a URL from a database was not working in phones with newer OS releases.
