Delighted with Tap Forms

After hearing about the demise of Filemaker’s much-loved Bento and knowing that other Filemaker software was not an option for me, I was greatly relieved to learn of Tap Forms as a possible alternative. Nervous about how easy it would be to transfer data between Bento and Tap Forms I imagined I would be doing a lot of cutting and pasting of data between the two applications. Instead, I exported each of my notebooks from Bento as bento templates, then imported them into Tap Forms. It was as simple as that. I’ve had a few glitches with re-ordering my records in alphabetic order, but it just took repetition and patience and eventually it worked. Even better is that all of my data can now be synced via the cloud, so in under an hour I went from useless isolated Bento databases no longer syncing between computer and phone, to having everything in Tap Forms and all of it syncing via iCloud. I can live with the fact that I will have to import photos separately, I am just so relieved to have all of my data accessible again while on the move. Thanks Tap Forms. Looking forward to seeing how this App develops.
