Description
Your forms can allow entry of text, numbers, dates, times, check-box options, drop-down lists of pre-defined values, photos, and your current GPS location. You can also add an auto-indexing ID field to your form. Once you've designed a form, you can easily share it with anyone else using the app by emailing it to them.
Entered data is stored in a database on your phone, and can be shared with others by emailing it as a spreadsheet-compatible CSV file. You can also export data to your phone's internal storage, and import data from a CSV file as long as the column names match the field names in your form.
To get you started, and show what is possible, the app comes pre-loaded with some example forms: a simple contacts book, a driving log book, a field sample recorder, and a questionnaire.

2 ★ I know dbms and interfaces. This app is only useful for very narrow applications and so, if you know what you're doing you could figure out a useful thing to do with it. But there are so many drawbacks I can think of only a few that wouldn't have better alternatives such as for contacts, driving log, expenses or sales. It's more of a list entry system. Google sheets would be better for most things.
4 ★ Neat little database app. Two additional features (if they're not already there) would really make it sing and dance - search (in app, without exporting to spreadsheet) and a 'Lookup' field so you can link to other records and automatically pull data in.
5 ★ This is the uncomplicated tool I've been looking for to collect digital GIS point data in the field. Typically, I record 3 or 4 variables at each waypoint. Up until now it's been difficult to do. A GPS only records the waypoint ID and timestamp. The mapping programs from the large GIS software vendors are rediculously cumbersome. The Custom Data Recorder sits in the Goldilocks zone.

5 ★ Great app! Allows creation of any kind of data entry system with date and time taken directly from phone. Data exports directly to spreadsheet as .CSV file.
