Organize All Your Data Using BENTO

Bento, by Filemaker Inc. is a mobile version database made by using Mac. You can start by making your own libraries. You can also use one of the 25 templates available. The templates can be used to keep a diet log, store recipes, inventory list or organizing the class schedule.

It is extremely powerful, easy to use application and can store more than thousand records without affecting its speed. If starting with a blank library 15 different field types are presented to choose from. Choose the type required and name it. Repeat this process until your database is personalized. Once personalized, you can easily store the data within no time.

This app also synchronizes flawlessly over a Wi-Fi network with its Mac counterpart. If you have Bento for Mac, the data can be created there and later synchronized with the iPhone. One more feature of Bento is the iTunes search style. As you start typing, it begins the search process and shows the results from every library.

One of the flaws with this application is while saving a record. When you enter data in a field, to save, you simply have to press the back button. Once out of the field, the back button replaces with the cancel button. If the button is pressed twice, the data entered is lost. The other limitation of this application is that backup of the data is not possible.

Overall it’s a great application to maintain your database on the go.
