$35? Wow, even if it is a loss leader for the online version. Making a rather complex and powerful database this easy to use and attractive is no mean feat. A thorough read will offset the relative lack of inline help. Note that there is a user’s guide available online that can also be downloaded as PDF. How well it scales I can’t tell you, but Ninox has enterprise customers, so that should be a good sign. Of course, I was only dealing with a thousand rather small records with no images, etc. Imports, scrolling, drag & drop, image loading were all very, very quick–like blink of an eye quick. I found Ninox extremely fast, especially compared to Access on Windows, which has recently become slothful when opening forms. For the price, I don’t care, but I don’t develop database applications for others anymore. There’s no “white fencing” (a term I heard from Ninox), i.e., customizing the front end with company logos, etc. Not sure if Forms On Fire, or Ninox is the better choice for your needs No problem Check Capterra’s comparison, take a look at features, product details, pricing, and read verified user reviews. I must also stress that Ninox for Mac is an end-user only database. Ninox makes adding dates easy with a calendar-like date picker. One other thing that bugged me: when you access one of the drop-down controls (yes/no, date picker, etc.), Ninox resets the tab counter/location (the tab key moves from field to field) to the first field in the form, forcing you to select the next field in the form with mouse or tab through all the fields again. Note that this was an old record with the date already in place–my clock was not set wrong. Most of the time you’ll simply use Ninox’s handsome calendar-style date picker selector shown below. That isn’t a huge deal, but it might bite some. Subsequently, however, pasting into a date field, it became Jan 22nd, 0004. They imported fine as you can select the format being used. All my dates are in the format month/day/year, e.g or 1/4/22–January 4th 2022.
