Ratings and Reviews
Solid App and Amazing Support
I upgraded to Tap Forms Pro (IOS) and Tap Forms Pro for Mac as soon as I heard that it was available, and am loving the new look and feel of the program. I started using Tap Forms for Mac 5.0 in April 2021 to manage the database of Geodetic Survey Marks that I have found and documented, over the past four years my database has grown to 3,166 records and I would be lost trying to keep track of these without Tap Forms.
Each of my records contains 20 fields of various types including entered text, photos, map locations based on the survey marks latitude and longitude, and web links to National Geodetic Survey data sheets. All of these elements were easy to setup and are seamlessly integrated. The search, sort, and reporting functions make finding a particular record in my database a breeze. While I do all the heavy lifting of data entry on my Mac mini, I have a real-time synced database at my fingertips while I am in the field.
As a ‘lifetime’ license holder of Tap Forms for Mac 5.0; I didn’t even blink when upgrading to the subscription based Pro Version; given the product’s quality and support, it was a no-brainer.
Brendan has always been, and continues to be, super responsive to questions and supporting the Application. The App earns a solid 5-Star rating as a reliable database that is easy to set up and use; likewise, Brendan easily earns a 5-Star rating for his awesome support of the App.
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.
