And a whole lot more! Bigswell, Fantastic flexible and reliableAs others have said in the reviews for the upgraded version of this app, the developer Brendan is extremely responsive and diligent, and always looking to learn how his customers are using the app and improve it for their needs. I use this to keep livestock health records, inventories, harvest logs, rainfall, any kind of historical data or media that I want to track I can build my own little database for, and reference it easily.
It is especially effective if you’re doing fieldwork and you want to quickly create a record. If you’ve already set up your form it can be much faster than writing in a notebook and then the data is already available for you to pull into a spreadsheet instead of having to copy your notes. It is flexible but very easy to use.
You can even have the form make calculations for you, for example enter the birthdate of an animal on the form and then I can have another field that automatically populates the current age of the animal.

Looks good. Can’t wait to install in my office and begin syncing among the machines!
I’ve used Tap Forms on both Mac and iOS for many years. How will upgrades work in the Apple App Stores with their aversion to upgrade processes? Presumably the initial reduced price will be in place for 48 hours then will change to the full price? I live in the UK and am due to leave on holiday Thursday at 6am GMT. Will both Apps be available then or I will miss out on the reductions bt the time I return?
The video looks great. I cannot wait to try it.
I have also been using TapForms on Mac & IOS. The same question for me, how do we transfer the existing v4 data to the v5 app?
Transferring is easy:
just create a backup in v4 and convert is in v5. You can’t miss it.

So if I have 3.5.14 on my Mac and latest version on iPad, both purchased through AppStore, will I have to upgrade to 3.5.15 before downloading TF5 from app store? Will I have to set up sync from scratch again? Can I still use iCloud? Will there be a detailed set of instructions about how to manage the whole upgrade process. I am not good at just seeing what happens!
As a major upgrade I really think and I do hope some step by step help in the process will be posted soon. If not, I can see lots of people getting in a right muddle!!!
The only mention of converting for example is what I have seen in Leo’s post. Do I convert on one machine and then let that sync to other machines and devices once I have installed TF5 on all of them???
Congratulations, Brendan! I have been looking forward to this upgrade ever since you began to discuss it. Thank you for all of the improvements and new features. Many thanks for helping with my organization, productivity, and peace of mind, which result from your great product.
I wish you much success with the launch.

Fantastic! My favorite app just got better! Use it every day for keeping track of health information as well as numerous work related information. Also have a db of my pen collection which includes pictures and vital information. I’ve had to see support help a couple of times and the response has been prompt, clear and resolved the problems. Love the app. So grateful for the support. So much easier to work with than Filemaker, not to mention the big difference in price lol

Is there a difference between the version from your Homepage an the version in the Mac App Store??
Regards Michael
Great news. The selective sync is something that will really benefit me- service guys in the field can sync job sheets etc and “private” business docs can stay separate on the Mac. Looking forward(ish!) to getting everything in order. Hope the launch goes well.
Brendan,
When will we see these 16 videos posted? At the Vimeo site?
Should we anticipate being able to purchase Tap Forms V5 from the Mac App Store at midnight? iOS App Store? Your site?
Can you tell I am anxious to see the software? :)
Is there any difference between the Mac App Store Version and the Buy Direct version? Different features? TIA
YES! Thank you Brendan, I have just bought versions for iOS and OSX.
Hi Brendan,
Have been using TF3 between a MBP and an iPhone for quite a while and like it a lot. I am considering the upgrade to TF5 because I lost the sync which is important for me. However, I don’t really want to register to use yet another cloud service and am interested in the local syncing feature.
My question is that my MBP is so old (early 2011) that it does not support file transfer via Airdrop. In its place I am able to use an app called DropCopy which functions similarly to Airdrop. So I know my MBP can sync with my iPhone when using the right software.
My question is…will I run into the same issue with your local syncing as I do with file transfers on Airdrop or am I good to go?

the “Send Document” function works with my Mac Pro 2008.
I don’t use Nearby Sync though.
Hi Brendan,
I love tap Forms. It is one of the best useful apps I have installed. Nice work!
But is there any possibility to update from Tap Forms Version 4 to Version 5 (Mac and iPhone App’s) for an “update”-price instead of the full price? Maybe for the half or 60% ?
I miss this opportunity or is there no update-service for old user’s?
