iDatabase is the app for Mac that makes it easy for everyone to create databases, inventories, collections, and item lists. iDatabase is the best that can be for those who want to store and quickly search for any information for daily work or leisure. TEMPLATES INCLUDED Without previous experience with databases, you can use the included templates to quickly create and customize databases containing inventories, membership lists, expenses, projects, recipes and more! You can choose from 22 ready-to-use templates and customize them to organize all types of information: Accounts, Books, CD Collection, Classes, Computers, Contacts, Customers, DVD Collection, Events, Exercise Log, Expenses, Inventory, Members List, Mobile Phones, Movie Catalog, Notes, Pet Care, Projects, Recipes, Records, To Do, Vehicle Maintenance. You can also create templates and share them easily with other iDatabase users. A FIELD FOR EVERYTHING With iDatabase, you have a large number of different fields to enter your information. Store text, images, links, passwords, phone numbers and arithmetic operations, it's so easily that it is amazing. You can manage your CD collection, store the passwords of your accounts, create an address book containing contact information for your customers or friends, and much more. iDatabase allows you to keep everything in your Mac. • Small text field • Large text field • Number • Date • Time • Date and time • Image • Choice • Calculated field • Email • Link • Checkbox • Password • Phone FIND, ORDER AND MUCH MORE Are you looking for a specific contact, a book, your account details or a link stored in one of your database? No problem, type what you are looking for in the search field and let the app do the work for you. iDatabase can help you, even if you prefer to see the data by scrolling through. In a flash, you can sort the data by any field, and finally, if you share the Mac with your colleagues or family, or travel around the world and want to keep your personal information away from prying eyes, you can set an access code to prevent unauthorised access. SYNCHRONISE, BACK UP AND SHARE Data loss is a thing of the past with iDatabase and its built-in backup function. You can store and retrieve all your important databases locally on your Mac or remotely in your Dropbox space – just a click. Have you ever dreamed of keeping the databases you have on your Mac synchronized with those you have on your iPhone? If you also possess the iDatabase for iPhone, you can do it with the Wi-Fi Sync function. Another great feature is the ability to share your work with friends and colleagues via email, in several formats. When you receive the file, you can import data immediately into the iDatabase for Mac or iPhone! INTERNET CONNECTION? YOU DON’T NEED IT, THE DATA IS ALREADY IN THE MAC All your data is always with you, stored in your Mac. So, if you don’t need a specific online service, you can enjoy iDatabase wherever you are, regardless of the availability of internet access.
Alphabetizing is frowned upon???
Familiarizing myself now with this new purchase and find the app will not allow sorting a group my alpha??? And tech support on the developer's website requires logging in but no way to make an account. Also seeking a way to link a record in one group with a record in a different group - there is no type of field that allows this. But isn't linking records the point of a DB?
Simple and Mostly Good
If you have a need for a very basic database to use mostly on a single device, this is a very nice program. I use it as a recipe book and a way to keep track of some things that need periodic restocking. The app's simplicity works for it in this area because other apps tend to vastly overcomplicate these tasks. Also, if you stick to the MacOS version and don't use the iOS version, there are some useful features that let you sort Databases in a few user-designed presets. If you use both iOS and MacOS versions this option goes away. There are some other functional limitations. The method for syncing between devices is only useful as a periodic backup because you have to sync one iOS device at a time to a computer. If you try to edit a database in multiple locations and use the computer to unify them, you will end up with duplciates. So I use my iPad primarily and occasionally create a new entry on my computer. Also, using an Apple Pencil in fields is hit and miss as the Tap-Hold-To-Insert function will crash the app. The developer has a lot of really cool products and I use all of them, but they also don't seem too involved with them. At least, I've never personally gotten a response to any reports or feedback, so this is only worth a purchase if a limited and simple little database (with some bugs if you try to use it in a complex way) could solve a problem you have. It's likely not going to expand into something bigger and better.
Use to be great
Databases are easy to set-up; however, with recent changes in the software printing no longer works. And most unfortunate, technical support has not been available, except for a small set of published solutuons published for basic common problems.
Buyer Beware! Unrepsonsive
I never received a registration number, couldn't login without a registration number, unresponsive to emails and support tickets. No version update in a year, but they took my money. I should have known better. I need to get a refund.
Missing Features
I tried to use this to keep records for clients, but there's no real address field (I supposed I can use one of the text field options but it doesn't format the same), there's no way to upload a file (only jpeg), and I'd like to see the ability to select multiple answers in the choice field. Other than that, it really is easy to set up, but I really need something that I can upload documents to and this doesn't cut it.
Excellent and Simple
Great Datebase ... Alot of great templates. The user inferface is awesome
Easy to use
WhenI learned that Filemaker cost nearly $5OO to upgrade, I discovered iDatabase. It's not Filemaker, but it works great for all the basic information I need (lists, addresses, etcetera). Worth the price and can be up and running in five minutes. Plus for the more exotic stuff, I can use Excel...iDatabase gets and A from me.
