Ratings and reviews

Dismal performance of this app, has to be constantly connected to the Internet, in case its not (or the connection is intermittent or none at all as it is in most stores one has to actually use it at) it's useless. No offline modus, which would make it so much easier to use. If one has filled all the necessary fields to create a delivery slip, but the connection drops or changes, it is all lost and one can start all over again...

So far I am liking Zoho Creator for app development. It is very helpful that it provides development previews for web, tablet and mobile phone usage. My company was about to go with Sortly for use as an inventory management app, but the more we got into its workings, the more we found that it had severe limitations and would not serve our needs. In one day I was able to use Creator to design an app that is much more flexible and functional than Sortly. So that makes me happy. The one feature that I would like to see added, and that I am really surprised that it does not have already, is the ability to click one checkbox to select or deselect ALL items in a list. We typically have around 1,000 items on our lists. We are able to use the very powerful filtering feature within Creator to get down to a group of just a couple items that we need to edit in bulk (another great feature in Creator). But before we can perform our bulk edit we need to select each item by tapping on them individually. When there are 200-300 items that we are updating, this is a tedious and time-consuming process. The web interface is great in that it allows us to select or deselect all with one click but that feature is missing in the mobile phone interface. Hopefully, this is something that they will add in the near future.

Crashes all the time. As soon as you navigate between apps it crashes. It's the most unstable app I use on my phone and makes doing paperwork an absolute nightmare. I am forced to use it through my work. It was a bit more stable until recently. The last couple of updates have made it increasingly buggy and I think the developers need to try and stabalise the platform so that you can switch between apps whilst using it. Fed up to the teeth with using it.

What's new

- Save form drafts

Introducing the new 'Save as draft' feature for the forms. Now you can save partially filled forms and then come back later and resume working on them without any data loss.
