You pay for a certain number of months in advance–1 to 3 years or more–and your account is debited only for months in which you use it. It’s now in public beta, with continual updates, and while nobody knows when the “final” version of Pan X 1.2 will be released, it should be fairly soon.Ībout the payment model, like so much of Jim Rea’s work, it’s very imaginative. All software can eventually die, and when MacOS radically changed, the developer could have abandoned Panorama instead he dug in and rewrote it. It now has brilliant sharing capabilities, and a recent update has made it fully and easily relational. In the past few years it has been completely rewritten to be compatible with current Mac hardware and OS. Not sure what the people here have against Panorama. You should see their faces light up when they see how much of our medical info we have right in front of them on our iPhone or iPad. This way we can have things like radiologist reports available within the app that we can bring them up whenever we see a new doctor so he doesn’t have to get it from the original source. We are very happy with TapForms and highly recommend it.Įdit: One more thing we like about Tap Forms is the ability to attach separate documents (PDF, JPG, etc.) that are stored inside the database. The forum also has a section with templates that other users have developed to give you a starting point if you need it. The forum is very active with very helpful users, including some very knowledgeable in scripting. There’s an online manual so you can read up on how it works to help you decide if you want to buy it. As soon as you have the same database open on two devices TapForms performs an almost instantaneous sync. We have ‘Nearby sync’ set to sync between the devices. We use one Mac as the ‘master’ and make any changes on that device. My wife and I have it on both our Macs and all our iOS devices to keep a local (private, not cloud-related) record of all our medical info, as well as other info. Tap Forms (Mac $50, iOS $17) is a relational DB that seems much more user friendly than LibreOffice or the SQL clients mentioned.
