Form Maker - Pro Form Builder Reviews

by Cmadman

Almost good. Creating the forms are easy. Making them look good for print or PDF is lacking severely.

UPDATED - So the developer claims that it does its job? Printing or make a PDF that is the same size as a phone is merely a joke. That’s useless for a customer and clearly a waste of paper. The software should allow for formatting to letter size etc. But the developer doesn’t take constructive reviews very well after being paid. Since the developer provided a snarky response, I changed my review to one star.

pretty good example of a situation where the developer knows how to program, but NOT MUCH about UI or usability.

no meaningful differentiation between build and run state. no hierarchy of process. too many things all over the place. could be made MUCH More efficient with some tweaks.

it's worth $1. heck i'd probably have paid $5 and not been too upset. there is a good base here for the developer to grow from. but id rather pay full market price ($30-$100) for something a bit more thought out and "real-world-ready"

This is an effective tool for building iPad forms but it could use a few improvements.

If you include a note in a form it scrambles the CSV file.

Sending a form to another team member is clumsy and in my case required me to use the web method, which reduces the security of the form data repository.

The interface takes some getting used to.
Some check marks and Xs seem to be for applying changes to form objects, but are actually for the whole form.

There are various other minor annoyances but overall it does the job.

After posting a response I received a quick response to my review and issue.

I understand now how to transfer the form from one device to another but that still doesn’t help because if I update it during ten day on my iPhone I have to then copy it back to my iPad and so on and so forth. Not a great process. 😞

Also having me look through all the videos to find an answer is time consuming. I even tried to get support via the AppStore but it brought me back to the videos. 👎🏻

Good app but not worth it.

I downloaded FormMaker on both my iPhone 8 Plus and iPad Air 2. I created a form and entered info on my iPad since it is much easier but nothing is showing on my phone is easier to use because I would be on the road. It doesn’t seem to connect the two devices.

Not what I expected.

The functionality of FormMaker is fantastic. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is simply that all the functionality and customizability of it does, necessarily, make for a bit more of a complicated experience for the user. Great app though once you learn to navigate those issues. And you can’t beat the fact that it’s free!

I use FormMaker to catalogue my art. I’m not tech savvy so when I say it’s User Friendly, that’s a huge endorsement. I need to spend more time exploring it’s full potential, but I’m getting ready for major art shows so my learning curve is on hold. I would give it 5stars if the date defaulted to current date on adding a new entry. Also, if you could set a field that indexed for automated numbering of entries. Perhaps this is already available and I have yet to discover it. I am recommending FormMaker to anyone who produces one of a kind pieces and wants a super easy way to catalogue their work with photos! LOVE IT

Still trying to figure everything out but so far I am liking FormMaker and I think it will service my purposes.

Just like the developer said - no registration, no subscription. The only subjection is a better file system. I think every form should have its own folder. But it a great app that works consistently. Thank you.

This is a cheap and excellent app to quickly make forms on your iPad.
You can share your forms, you don't need internet and best of all: you don't need to pay subscriptions to any Web Database Sever.
Easy to use

We use FormMaker for our managers in the field to do quality control audits on our technicians. We have about 75 people using it and it is very simple to make the forms and send them in for review.

I run a water treatment company, FormMaker has added a new way to process and store digital files for each of my customers. I can just add their forms, no paper contracts or agreements! Thanks for no strings attached in app purchases, or subscriptions this keeps our costs down.

I rarely write reviews. But I wouldn't be doing the developers justice to keep my complete satisfaction from the world.
First, I hate with a passion having to pay for apps. You never know how long they'll be supported or if they'll even be worth it. FormMaker: worth it.
In the support area they have plenty of how to videos and tutorials...and that's only if you need them. I did find them helpful to fine tune my editing, but FormMaker really isn't that hard. Oh, and when I finally had something not covered, my emails were responded to within the day.
Next, the freedom of expression with as much restraint as you see fit is awesome. I'm literally making the forms (with ease) that I intend to use to do my job more effectively. FormMaker goes as far as your creativity.
Trust me, FormMaker is definitely worth it.

Oh, and did I forget that there was an app option? Yes, if I read correctly, you can have an app created of your form. Once my forms are complete I'll be turning to FormMaker side and marketing that. What are you waiting for? This is where it's at.

This developer is not satisfied until you are satisfied. I originally thought FormMaker was good. However, Mark took my suggestion for FormMaker , and will be putting out a new update just to include a couple new functions!! AWESOME developer.

by Bikemill

I looked for a long time for such a versatile tool for our business. We use it to create a myriad of documents for customer and internal use. The support is top notch and the interface has been well refined. Do not hesitate. Buy FormMaker, you will save and make money.

I have never used FormMaker before and I find it very user friendly! I'm deigning an ID form for my club and this is great. I needed to ask a couple of questions and got it answered quickly. The tutorial videos that they provide is all so awesome and easy to understand. I hope they create add-on for this program in the future. The price is well worth it.

by Havocrainz

I offer counter serveillance services and my customer requests vary extensively. Now I have custom made service request forms that are taylored to my clients specific needs, and my techs have specific check off forms based on the request forms to make sure nothing falls through the cracks and I have electronic copies of both for my records. This program is so simple to use and worth twice the price!

by A FORM USER

Very pleased with the performance. Did not notice any slowness in scrolling pages (this was mentioned in one of negative reviews). The form transfer from device to a device is a bit of guess work but totally doable. CSV export also works properly if all fields are set appropriately. So FormMaker does require a little of a learning curve but is quite intuitive and easy to use.

by Disposablefiend

FormMaker is amazing! Most people giving it a bad review are people that are better off paying for an overpriced service where the work is done for them! If you don’t have good logic, you will have a hard time! If you are inpatient, you will have a hard time! If you don’t want to learn, it’s no one’s fault but your own! Great Development but still needs a lot of work because if some bugs. Overall, it’s amazing how powerful FormMaker is! I am making all of the forms for my son’s school since I do all the tech for them!

by Christie Door

Love FormMaker, I replaced all my companies field doc's with forms made on FormMaker. Takes a bit to get the hang of it but the videos are super helpful and you can get support if a you really get stuck. Hope to see more formulas in the next update

It took a while to get the hang of it. Support was always available to get me out of a jam. Still in the process of creating my forms but glad I found FormMaker!

I have been using FormMaker for about 6 months to keep track of trucking loads. It was easy to design the forms I needed and to run reports. Very user friendly.

by MakeShipht

I’ll using FormMaker with all of my employees. We are currently using this for our day logs, day sheets, and time cards. My employees can fill out their logs within minutes. Love it. 5 Stars!
