en Useless. Set as default app in Google, still cannot open previously made database direct from Google Drive. Shared a database with another user and they are unable to open at all. Export option doesn't work either.

en Not sure why they call this a database... it's a single table. It fancies up a spreadsheet, that's all.

en This has been a lifesaver for data entry thanks to the nested tables and dropdown menus. It has saved me so much time not having to copy and paste identical info over and over for multiple entries with only on column's values changing. It's also been so great to have the dropdown menus to avoid typos and ensure consistency. The only major downside for me is the clumsy copy and pasting mechanism - while I do really like having the option to copy and paste a subset of each row, I wish there was more flexibility. For example, it would be really helpful to be able to drag down an entry to copy it on multiple rows like you are able to do in Excel. While nested tables typically help avoid needing to do this, every once and a while the need pops up and it's very tedious to have to paste every individual row. Also, I have had to deal several times with syncing errors that pop up and then losing what I have entered over the last minute or two - having to re-enter that data is irritating. Overall, this has been a HUGE help to me, much easier and more user-friendly for my data entry needs than Excel. Once it comes time to analyze the data, I'll be exporting the csv files and doing analysis in Excel. Just a few improvements and Obvibase would be the perfect data entry tool for huge datasets!

en I use Obvibase for keeping records on two businesses. I love that it's free and that it is backed up for me for free. I love that I can access it anywhere, anytime. I wish I knew more about how to use it through web applications.

en FANTASTIC, I have been fighting with various database programmes trying to find something that would do even a halfway-functional job cataloguing my library. This is PERFECT and nothing else comes close. Literally the only thing I would wish improved is that you can't get thumbnails for Google Drive images, but that's not this app's fault, that's Google.
