Hi Brendan,
I was probably one of the last “Bentohicans” until a few months ago.
I have been looking for a good replacement for Bento for a long time.
I doubted about Filemaker but that seemed too much for me.
I often ended up at Tap Forms but remained hesitant mainly because it lacked one function, namely the syncronization with contacts. It was convenient that contact information you entered in Bento, automatically appeared in the contact app.
In the end I switched to Tap Forms and I still have no regrets. The link to contacts makes things good and Tapforms has many more functionalities that saves me time.
Notwithstanding it would be nice if this function could be added in the future.
What is also a feature request is whether it is possible that a link to a document could immediately open the document instead of the finder window. These are gratuitous actions; Click to open the window, click on the document in finder, click to close finder, …
Otherwise nothing but praise for your program.

Hi Erik,
Thanks very much for your kind words! I’m glad you’re finding Tap Forms useful.
There is an Import Contacts function in Tap Forms which will import all of your contacts into a special Contacts form in one go. You could then link to that form from other forms. If you modify your contacts in Apple Contacts and import again, Tap Forms will update those contacts with the new information and import any new ones. But it doesn’t go the other way around.
As for the File Attachment field, to view a file, just double-click on it in the list of files. Tap Forms will launch the owning application and show you the file without going to the Finder first.
Thanks!
Brendan
