User Reviews

HanDBase is a veteran, highly flexible database tool with a loyal user base and broad use cases—from inventory to collections—thanks to multiple databases, views, and a Forms feature. Many users praise its longevity and stability across devices, but recurring themes include crashes with larger databases, perceived neglect or slow responses from developers, and a lack of cloud syncing or iCloud support. Feature limitations cited by power users, such as no SQL, limited calculations, and rough form linking, further challenge ongoing adoption for advanced users.

Pros

Longstanding history and loyal user base, including PalmOS heritage, with decades of use.
Very flexible and versatile for building multiple databases; easy to set up lists and data entry; supports various views and sorting.
Generally stable across iPhone upgrades and across devices for many users.
Cross-device continuity across phones and tablets over many years.
Forms module for custom data entry and forms creation.

Cons

Crashes and data loss with larger databases; data not saved during edits.
Poor or unresponsive developer support and lack of fixes.
Lack of cloud syncing and iCloud backup; reliance on WiFi or desktop sync.
Feature limitations for power users: no SQL, limited calculations, and difficulties with forms linking.

Bought and used the app during the age of Intel Macs. Won’t run on a desktop now. “iOS 3.1.2 or higher” !?Documentation is rubbish. No longer need a relational DB. Looking elsewhere.

BEWARE! I discovered this bug luckily before 2031 so I have a while to find a replacement. The Dev says he has no interest in fixing it.

I may have been using this app for nearly 20 years and it is STILL my favorite and most used app ever! Seriously! It has been VERY stable through multiple iPhone upgrades and I think I may have even started way back with a Palm Pilot!!!! I definitely think some modifications are in order, but even if nothing changes, at this point, this app has added years of practical, efficient data management AND a ton of fun!
