I bought this app to keep track of farm equipment maintenance but found that I couldn't back it up without buying Bento for Mac, an expense that isn't justified by the need. I would rate the app higher but this is a real drawback. I wish I had bought a different app.
Library, inventory, personnel records, archival information, recordings . . . It's all here at the touch of a finger. After many years of disorganization, I finally have my stuff together. Easy to use, and does everything I need in an easily customizable environment.
I use Bento mainly for keeping track of my passwords. Because its available on both computer and tablet, I have access to them. it's a great tool for that.
Good app for setting up customer database without the fluff from commercial apps. Straight to the point.
Over all not bad Purchased this app. to work with my Mac. At first the iPad app would not sync with the computer a bit of a bummer. Upgraded to 10.8 and the sync issues went away. The initial sync looked good and then I chose the selected files option thinking that I could control the files on my iPad and computer. Au contraire I was not able to control files and ended up deleting on the computer several files because I had deleted them on the iPad. The deletions happened even though the files had been deselected for syncing. Relasation
This app is great for keeping track of data. However, there are improvements that could be made. Once there are quite a few fields in a worksheet, moving the fields around becomes difficult. Also, every field needs a unique name, so for example: instead of using "exercise description" for each type of exercise, you have to use Exercise 1 Description, then Exercise 2 Description. But even that is too long and becomes truncated. This app works great for my purposes so far. As for client and customer records, it is okay. I wish I could add a field to one record without changing the next one. I also wish you could enter a sub-heading line. For example: Client Personal Information, then a sub-heading: Client History, etc... Overall, though, it's pretty cool. It's one of the most customizable apps I've found.
Excelente muy bueno!!!!!
