USING YOUR DATABASES ON THE GO

Customer Reviews
Much enhanced
FileMaker Go 12 is much enhanced over the previous version. When used in combination with the new FileMaker Pro 12, it gives a refined user experience, and is significantly faster in some of the more tedious applications. Best of all, FileMaker Go is now free of charge.
Free and Improved!
For those of us who already use the excellent FileMaker Pro database, the ability easily to create database apps for the iPad/iPhone has been fantastic!
Now with improved speed, proper multitasking and ability to export data to other formats, the release of FMGo 12 has greatly improved what was an already excellent product. The fact that it is also free means that you should expect to see plenty of useful apps appearing for everyone to use!
Whether it is used to connect to make a live connection to a server database or to take complete data sets wherever one goes, without doubt, this will open up a whole new range of experiences for iOS users.
Great to see this is now free!
FileMaker Go works with databases created in FileMaker Pro on Mac or Windows. If you don't have this software, you can download a trial version of FileMaker Pro 12, create a new database from one of the supplied starter solutions and save that to the iPad to test the software properly. FileMaker have done a remarkable job of creating a fully-featured version of FileMaker Pro on the iOS platform, it's a complex application and to see it running completely on iOS is amazing!
If you already have FileMaker Pro, having FileMaker Go for free is great. You can either create databases to be used on the iPad directly, or use databases hosted in your office or with a hosting company from the iPad when away from the office.
