FormConnect Pro

After spending several days researching simplified forms-oriented apps with a light database capability and strong import/export I decided on FormsConnect and was rewarded with near instantaneous ROI and business benefit with very little learning curve. The forms designer is pure brilliance and simplicity and the overall interface instinctive to use. The import and export is extensive so you have complete control over your data— native format, xml, csv, pdf, html— it doesn’t get better than that and even zips-up your images. Camera roll and camera integration is seamless. The Dropbox feature allows you to easily export and snapshot your forms database frequently giving you comfort as you load large amounts of data into the app. I’ve used the app extensively, it has been 100% stable.

It’s a great app for designing forms! But it’s has some issues for me. 1. App is not user friendly if using with multiple devices. For example if you like working on an iPad in the office & iPhone when out on the road the app will not sync. You basically have to email the data entered on device(1) to device(2). Once you start working on device(2) the data on device(1) will be old and you’ll have to email the newer data on device(2) back to device(1). So basically you will have to keep sending things back and forth to yourself very often. This is easy until you forget to send something once, then you will have a large list of data to scroll through to find out which one you didn’t send. 2. If you add a record and use a dropbox drive you can’t really update that file. The app will just keep creating a new file for the same record in your dropbox drive every time you export it. 3. File lookup. If you keep records using numeric file names you will find that the app dose not keep things in numerical order. After about 100 files it’s getting very hard to look up file and to keep the data up-to-date on two devices. 4. If you plan using this as your only invoice tool... forget it! You can create excellent invoices but the app does not have a feature to mark an invoice as PAID or overdue. Also you have to get out the good old calculator to total up all your invoices manually.

After reviewing and reading reviews for over a month I came upon FormConnect and was instantly excited about the prospect of capturing the data I needed, without having to pay for things I didn’t need. It did take a bit to get started and when I had a question I submitted a customer service request. I received a call the same day and Steve spent over an hour going through the questions I had, and the functions he felt would be helpful. I cant wait to start using it because I know my clients will find the process much more comfortable and seamless.

I have been using FormConnect pro for a while to capture client notes and recently encountered a freezing glitch. I contacted support and was blown away by how fast they responded to me, first by email and then followed up with a phone call. Once they understood what was happening they quickly went to work to resolve the issue. I am very impressed since the only other time I have had that fast of a response was when I utilized a program a sister built for me!

“Just wanted to send a note of praise for your program and to let you know that it is one of the best apps made for the iPhone if not the best. I’ve used form generation software on my home computers and laptops for years to generate forms, like Fast Forms and Informed Designer and find this app virtually equivalent in its versatility, only much cheaper. It’s a valuable productivity tool that has saved me time and money, enhanced my productivity at work and well worth its price. I highly recommend this app!”
