But using FileMaker Pro to create your own relationships between files is much harder than doing the same thing with Tap Forms or Bento. Several of the app’s templates offer files with relationships to multiple databases. As a result, like Bento’s templates, FileMaker’s templates offer a way of creating a complete stand-alone system that requires little customization to be useful.įileMaker Pro’s relational capabilities, though stellar, are a bit complicated to locate and navigate if you’re new to the idea of creating relational databases. Its 16 ‘Starter Solutions’ cover everything from basic contact databases to time billing and content management. If your needs are basic, iDatabase offers a good way of creating personalized databases and collecting the information you want.įor its part, iDatabase offers a collection of very basic but colorful templates that offer a good foundation for creating something a bit more sophisticated.įileMaker Pro’s templates are far more sophisticated than those offered by the other three apps. These templates are by no means beautiful, but they do supply forms containing a number of useful fields that may give you a starting point for creating new forms of your own.
With more than 25 choices, Tap Forms offers twice as many templates as any of the other apps. One feature that made Bento such a great app was its collection of templates, supplemented by the user-submitted templates available on Filemaker’s Bento Template Exchange.
