I’d like to get this app for the iphone. Since this is mainly targeted to Mac users, what limitations will I run into just using it on an iphone/ipad. Like will I be able to do any scripting / formulas?
Hi Chris,
There are a few features that are Mac only and a few that are iOS only.
You can definitely write scripts and Calculation field formulas in the iOS version.
The following features are in the Mac version only:
- Custom layouts
- Advanced printing
- Labels engine
- Barcode generation
- Calendar View
- Map View
- Charts View
The iOS version has these features that the Mac version does not:
- Barcode scanning
- Audio recording
- Drawing
Other than those differences, both versions have the same features. They just operate differently due to platform differences.
Thank you for this question, as well as explaining the differences between the iOS and macOS versions.
I guess technically, one should say these are the differences between iOS/iPadOS and macOS. Correct?
Brendan – Do you anticipate iOS and iPadOS having differences going forward?
Hi Kurtois,
In general the iOS and iPadOS versions will be identical other than the obvious display differences such as more room to display things on the iPadOS version. But it’s the same codebase for both. When I say iOS, I generally mean iPhone and iPad operating systems.
Thanks,
Brendan
