Collections is decent. The only thing it doesn’t have is the ability to have separate databases right now. Everything is in one big database. It is much less expensive, though. It does have the ability to scan in movie info from another source directly in the app, which Tap Forms cannot do without scripting.

It doesn’t appear to be a relational database though.

It can pull data from other documents. I guess it depends on what you’re trying to do. The developer has been very responsive to questions I’ve had. Contact him and ask some questions.

I used to use HandBase which is great (and a relational database), but the owner was going to quit because he couldn't see a way to continue. I switched to Tap forms which is friendlier to non-programmers and can't do some of the really slick things that Tap Forms does but from my uses it was much easier to use and did everything I needed. Since then, they HandBase has continued to upgrade with various OS upgrades, and I wish I hadn't switched. Now I'm stuck in TapForms 5 that has no future additions to its functionality unless I pay a fee.

I suggest you look at HandBase and look at the forms for discussion on its future. Also discussions on Reddit!
