    I just created a new database and I want to be able to sync it between my devices and my wife’s devices. As I understand it, the only way to do that is to use IBM Cloudant, which, it appears, has changed significantly since I used it last (many years ago). Can someone give me precise instructions on how to get this setup?

     

    Thanks!

    I have instructions here for setting up Cloudant:

    Take note of the part that says you should actually use the Apache CouchDB setting in Tap Forms 5 when connecting to Cloudant.

    Thanks,

    Can you not use iCloud sync? I do!

    Tony, iCloud doesn’t let you sync agains devices that are not on your own iCloud account. But that’s a feature coming in the new version I’m working on. Sorry it’s taking so long. Want to make sure it’s great before releasing.
