## Review summary

iDatabase is praised for being easy to use and versatile for simple inventories, with cross‑device syncing between Mac and iOS and local data storage. Users value its straightforward setup and ability to catalog items, including long‑term use and quick bug fixes. However, frequent issues overshadow the positives: backups rely on Dropbox and have become unreliable after updates; iCloud support is lacking; the app crashes often during data entry or when opening databases; exporting/importing can corrupt data; and some users encounter pricing changes (subscription after purchase) and inconsistent support. Overall, reliable for light use but not stable for critical data.

### Pros

- Easy to use and quick to set up
- Versatile for tracking inventories, collections and simple databases
- Cross-device syncing between Mac and iOS
- Data stored locally on the device / offline backups (not forced to iCloud)
- Stable performance and positive feedback on support

### Cons

- Dropbox-based backups and syncing are required and frequently broken by updates (e.g., Dropbox updates breaking linking)
- Frequent crashes/instability (crashes when adding new records, exits to home screen, or cannot open database)
- Data export/import problems and data corruption; exports to Excel/Numbers unreliable
- Subscription after initial purchase / price increase / pricing model concerns
- Limited or inconsistent support and accessibility (some reports of no support or difficulty finding the app, AI chat)
