With the debut of the original iPad back in March 2010, Apple subsidiary
FileMaker released an iPad version of Bento, the company's personal database
software. But while the app has received a few updates since that time,
major changes have been relatively few and far between even with the release
of Bento 4 for Mac in March 2011.
That all changes today with the release of Bento 4 for iPad [App Store], a
significant upgrade for the personal database app. Macworld has an overview
of the new app:
Past versions of the Bento for iPad have limited creation tools and have
focused on acting as a means to access and modify existing databases that
were initially created on the Mac. The new Bento 4 for iPad adds a complete
set of tools to allow for the creation of Bento databases on the iPad itself.
“You don’t need a Mac,” Ryan Rosenberg, FileMaker’s vice president of
marketing and services, told Macworld. “You’re actually building and
constructing your own apps on the iPad.”
Bento 4 for iPad includes 25 customizable templates for various database
types, along with 40 new themes optimized for the Retina display on the
third-generation iPad. Other improvements include a new Table view for
database entries and a hideaway library list for full-screen viewing of
records.
Bento 4 for iPad is not an update to the previous Bento for iPad app and
must be purchased separately. Regularly priced at $9.99, Bento 4 for
iPad is on sale for $4.99 through July 31. Bento for Mac [Mac App Store
] is also on sale for $29.99 through the end of July, down from its
regular price of $49.99. |
