Ratings and reviews

This app is easy to use and works well as a database. Would have rated 5 stars but as far as I can tell there is no way to sync in real time or to even setup a scheduled sync. Users need to manually sync after updating on a mobile device. Other users would also have to run a sync prior to seeing the changes. When updating on the desktop, mobile users need to sync prior to setting updates.

Binders is truly an exceptional DB. The learning curve is more than worth it and I'm discovering new things all the time. It is very flexible and powerful. One can create wonderful solutions w/o the burden of a programming language like Java. This does not limit what you can accomplish in any way. Saving & sink to the cloud is easy and I imported an old DB with 5000 records without a problem - it's fast. Support is fantastic with all email ?'s returned under 2 hrs. Loving it, highly recommend.

This is a remarkable app that has surprised me time and again with its power and flexibility, and its customer service has been second to none. Don't be put off by the somewhat utilitarian interface, because it's quite efficient once you get the knack of it. It offers a surprising range of customization, offering low level control without requiring you to learn how to program. On multiple ocassions, what I thought were limitations of the app instead turned out to be limits of my imagination.
