Binders | Database

Probably the best all-around database manager for your phone. But I wish for creating custom binders more tailored for our needs rather than limited to predefined categories provided. Still, deserves 5 stars.

Magnum Opus of relational databases. But please, provide non-Google ways to purchase the app license, as it declines transactions in my country for some political reasons.

I rarely give reviews here, but I really want to tell everyone this :- This is undoubtedly THE BEST database app and forms creator in the entire store. I have actually tried a lot of the other apps - I bought them. This one blows the rest out of the water. For what it offers, the price of a license is really, really dirt cheap. I first looked at it when it started years ago; it was very much just an ordinary "store and retrieve organizer" database - like an address or phone book, which was very limiting. But this time, it is so feature packed that I had no second thoughts with purchasing it. 1) You can prototype a custom solution to any database or organizational problems you have, very quickly. I have made: - A food and exercise journal to count calories. - A job costing and invoicing system for customers with PDF printouts possible. - A grocery shopping database that records prices and linked to a recipe book that allows me to choose the cheapest supplier for ingredients required for that recipe. - Location database of my belongings. 2) This app contains a lot of possibilities for calculations and formula to manipulate data. 3) This app allows you to create complex database schemas and relationships. So it is possible for you to create a solution for your own needs. 4) If your requirement is simple, you can create a front-end / form for your database very quickly - some of the commonly required stuff you need for inputs and formatting are already automated for you. You can create a simple customer information database in less than 5 minutes. 5) If your requirement is complex, there are lots of options. You however need to take time to learn how to do it. This is to be expected. However, it is worth it. You cannot expect to learn to build a house with the same effort you take to learn to build a chair. Even better: 6) The support and help from the Developer is very good. There will be someone to answer your queries ASAP. 7) They are willing to listen and add features you request (as long as it is reasonable). I believe this is what makes this app evolve to become what it is today.

Two huge problems: the developer is extremely rude and insulting to people who post negative reviews. There is mention of a fee, but nowhere in the app is the cost shown. To see the rudeness and insults, one needs only take a look at any 1-star review. ***UPDATE*** I reinstalled and looked again to be fair, but there is nothing about the cost or the duration of the trial period. I finally saw where the cost is: you have a separate app in the Play Store. Nice if you mentioned that in the app or the description. The price isn't bad and the app looks decent. I haven't tested it for bugs. I suspect that I would have given a reasonably good review had it not been for the developer's attitude.

28.31 MB & it's INTERNAL drive ONLY. FREE TRIAL for 7 days, after that I'm not sure what will be locked. As far as Binders Database itself, it could be useful in creating a database from scratch or if you have one to import that's compatible & want to pay, but I don't. I was hoping for something that had some ref databases i.e. the Recipe db doesn't have any categories or even ingredients to select from, must input ALL from scratch. The 6 databases I tried were ALL the same - I don't have time.
