    Love this app! I went to export and there is only Excel and CSV. Since it’s a Mac app, it would be nice to export as a Numbers document. Any plans for this?

    Hi Phloem,

    The tricky part with Numbers documents is there’s no formal definition from Apple of how to generate them from outside of the Numbers application. I know they’re just zip files with embedded content, but that content is encoded in a way that isn’t easily determined. For the XLSX format, I have an open-source library that generates the XLSX file for me. And for CSV files, well that’s easy since it’s just a text file of rows and columns.

    And since you can import a CSV file into Numbers, you definitely have a way of getting the Tap Forms data into Numbers already.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
