FileMaker Go 13 App Reviews

Seriously fantastic! If you have previous versions of Filemaker and want to move to mobile accessibility, this is what you want! If youre new to database/solution development for business data, definitely consider this!

I am an independent FileMaker developer and use is App for both personal reasons and as a platform fort clients. I build custom customer relationship management programs, real estate and mortgage packages, and my latest programs are for the Healthcare industry, including Core Measures, HCAHPS, Hourly Rounding, Hand Hygiene Observation, allowing individuals in a hospital environment to quickly and easily enter data into a central database from their iPhone or iPad. As an example, I have saved one healthcare system over $750,000 in annual licensing fees an hundreds of thousands of dollars in wasted labor hours by making data entry quicker and easier and eliminating double entry of data. Really look into the FileMaker Pro/FileMaker Go solution!

While I like the iPad app fine, now any document I download - email, DropBox, everything - and no matter the actual format, it download as a FileMaker doc and I cant open it or change it! This is infuriating and untenable!

I am an Executive and need my files on the go. FileMaker lets me manage large amounts of employee data in a minute and on the go. I can share it wirelessly (Air Play) or save inserts to word for printing or sharing. It has really changed my life. I have been a FM user for 10 years and it just keeps getting better. To new users, design on your desktop and play on your iPad or other device and remember practice makes perfect. PSS, if my nickname was taken I seemed to have to write the review over and over, fix that!

In the hands of a developer it is astounding what this app can do for a business. Has completely revolutionized our company in ways I never imagined.

Filemaker Go is by far the best way to have custom data at your fingertips. There are many hosting locations so if you do not have your own server you can still have your data and be mobile to. I am a FMP developer and really there is nothing FileMaker solutions cannot do.

Flexible, powerful, fast and simple to develop, best solution to quickly create custom business apps for use with iOS devices

I use FM Go on both my iPad and my iPhone and it works great. It is free but that presupposes that one has invested in FileMaker on ones Mac or PC which I have. Being able to create my own databases is a joy!

Where is 13.0.9?

Writing a mobile app and getting it actually on to a phone requires significant technical skill. Once again, FileMaker Pro makes it easy for everyone, and we get our data driven apps done so much faster than trying to write even a hybrid app. Now all we need is for FileMaker to be able to as easily synchronize with a cloud database, and well all be creating apps that are even better than Evernote because we wrote them ourselves!

Guys. If there is an important, dont install because it might break the server connection message, dont put it in the notes where you cant tap on it and cant copy it... Especially if the url is 60ish characters long. What is your expectation? I write it down on paper and then type it into my browser? Link it from the front page or use a tinyurl. Other than that I do like the software, hence the 4 stars.

Inventory capabilities none, no add button for category or item, only host addition but thats it, a few built in categories but does not offer buttons to add custom anything, very unfriendly for new users.

Inelegant application. A kludge when considering the Filemaker ecosystem as a whole. Very expensive when considering syncing across mobile and desktop applications, as Filemaker Server and FileMaker Pro are required costing thousands. Not for the single user or small owner operator business.

If you are not capable of developing FileMaker Apps, this is not for you. If you are, this is a gem of a product.

Totally excellent!!! Love the iPad layouts!

Since Bento was abandoned, and File Maker Go was offered on my mobile device, I am a happy camper.

In fact I have depended on FileMaker products since 1989 when I created a daily record file I call Journal. I have chronicled over 25 years of my lifes events. Personal, business, small & large things. Can find anything in a split second. Its like having a perfect memory and I attribute much of my lifes successes to this powerful tool. With Journal open on my iMac at home, with its port 5003 open, I can access this file from anywhere in the world. Thanks FileMaker. George, York PA

I love having my database with me on my iPad!

Having problems with fields once they have been loaded onto this app. Number fields on my Mac convert over to text fields in this app. Also the date does not transfer over to the field block from the set up mode. Other than that, I love it and use it daily. Just need to correct these problems! Would also love to be able to transfer data via wi-fi as well!

I love the performance , this app is well organize for my business career.
