What’s New
Version 1.0.4
Fixed an issue where the custom layout area wasn't redrawing immediately when the inspector panels on the right were dismissed.
Fixed issue with Layout Inspector Panel not showing the layout properties when no item is selected after a layout object had been previously selected.
Now displays the app version number (as well as the build number) on the Database Documents and About windows.
Layers tab now shows the tab order values again.
Swipe to delete record now respects the form’s access control settings.
Fixed issue with Layouts in Layout Drawer not selecting when you selected a layout from the Layouts menu.
If no record is selected, disable the Layout menu items.
Fixed bug with printing custom layouts. The layout items needed to be printed in reverse order so that items at the bottom of the Layers list would print first so they’re in the background.
When selecting a Tag on the left sidebar, change the view to the single column list view always. Tags can belong to multiple forms and you can’t display multiple forms’ fields on the multi-column list view.
Fixed issue with custom layout area not redrawing fully when the inspector panels are dismissed.
Fixed issue with Layout Inspector Panel not showing the layout properties when no item is selected after a layout object had been previously selected.
Added version number to about and documents list windows.
Layers tab now shows the tab order values again.
Swipe to delete record now respects the form’s access control settings.
Fixed issue with markdown editor showing JavaScript completions
Fixed issue with records list view showing the data from another cell after it scrolls the cell into place.
Fixed issue with JavaScript API call form.selectRecord(someRecord) function not selecting the specified record after a save.
Fix for Table field losing track of the selected record when you add a new record and type in some data and then press the tab key to move to another column.
Changing value of Number field on custom layout now triggers aggregate calculation popup to refresh.
Selecting the New Search command from the Add menu will create a new search even if you have an existing search selected. Previously it was editing the selected search.
You can now attach tags to a Saved Search even without any search rules specified.
You can now set the same view for multiple selected Saved Searches at a time.
Added confirmation alert when using swipe to delete on a record.
When you had two of the same document windows opened but different forms selected, adding a new record would add a new record to both forms in each window. Now only the one record will be created in the form being viewed.
Ratings and Reviews
Beautiful new interface
This is much more than an update to Tap Forms. It looks and acts like a whole new app, but with the same basic structure of the Tap Forms I have known and used for many years. Still getting to know some of the amazing new features, but so far I’m not having any issues navigating. I did have some problems - mostly of my own doing - when I first installed and I was surprised at how responsive and helpful the developer was. That’s always reassuring! When I saw that Tap Forms Database Pro required a subscription, I sighed deeply, but after getting in and using it, I am happy to pay the reasonable yearly fee. Tap Forms was always a workhorse database but with the new UI, it’s visually appealing and that makes it a pleasure to work in.
Revamped and back in business
I’m a long-time user of Tap Forms. I had a couple of hiccups in upgrading to the new Pro version, but Brendan helped me get straightened out and running in no time. It’s an excellent product, excellently supported, and I’ve found nothing like it. I use it for d@mned near everything—grocery lists, home inventory, credit cards, medications I take periodically, pet care log, pet information, driver’s license info, blood donor card, list of ebooks, software licenses, home insurance, memberships, MAC addresses—all kinds of things. A really excellent product—one of the few worth paying a yearly subscription for.
Work in progress
The developer’s previous app, Tap Forms 5, was a great resource for building databases, and this one will eventually be even better, I think. Right now it’s in its first release so there are actually a number of bugs that are currently keeping me from using it to make new databases, but I’m going to give the app 5 stars anyway because this developer is very responsive to the needs of his users and I have no doubt he’ll have some fixes ready for the more common issues in no time. I think it’s worth supporting the app’s growth over time!
