DO MORE ON THE GO
Tackle any task on your iPhone with FileMaker Go. Negotiate sales deals on the road, collaborate on projects while traveling, capture and send research data back to the lab, or confirm inventory levels from the warehouse – all while you’re on the go.
Use FileMaker Pro 12, the leading easy-to-use database software, to create custom business apps. Then use FileMaker Go 12 to remotely access these database apps on your iPhone. Databases that run on FileMaker Go are full-featured apps with powerful capabilities.
Now you and your team can easily view, edit, and search for information, then securely share with each other. Capture signatures, view reports and charts, save information as PDF and Excel, email or print your data, and so much more!
FileMaker Go 12 is also available separately for iPad.
WHAT’S NEW IN FILEMAKER GO 12
- Multitasking support — When you return to your database app from other apps, FileMaker Go picks up right where you left off.
- Improved media integration — Record video or audio from your iPhone and add it directly to a container field. Play back media directly from FileMaker Go.
- Export data in multiple formats — Export your data from FileMaker Go in several new formats including Excel, CSV, TAB, or HTML files.
- Enhanced container fields — When hosting databases on FileMaker Server 12, instantly stream movies and music from your device without any data storage limit concerns.
USING YOUR DATABASES ON THE GO
Use one of these three convenient ways to access apps on your iPhone:
- Connect to databases hosted on FileMaker Server 12 or FileMaker Pro 12 via a local wireless network or over Wi-Fi or 3G. All changes are automatically updated in the hosted file.
- Copy your databases between your desktop or laptop and FileMaker Go using File Sharing in iTunes.
- Download databases sent via email and open in FileMaker Go.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Requires FileMaker Pro 12 or FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced to create or modify databases.
- FileMaker Go 12 only opens FileMaker Pro 12 and FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced databases. Get more information on converting older databases: http://www.filemaker.com/r/convert
- Sync is not natively supported but can be implemented with custom development. However, database files can be copied or emailed between the device and the desktop.

Customer Reviews
Great app, and now it's free!
Well done FM for making this free. The new features in FM12 are great and the free iOS app is just what was needed to help us FM guys n gals get our awesome solutions out there!
It's better and it's Free!
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 software, even better now it's 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.
