Does anyone have suggestions for a report writer that can use CSV or SQLite data from Tapforms?
Have you considered using Excel? It is a very flexible data analysis tool the output from which can be communicated it in printed form, or PDF, or via slide deck etc. Also it is not uncommon for other apps to support the exchange of information to and from Excel. You might also consider if an app called CSV Data View might be of use for adhoc reporting. You export the records from Tap Forms and open in CSV DataView (or other apps that may be available to you).

On the iPad I have been using ReportPlus Lite/Pro. This works with csv files exported from Tap Forms HD. I am still in search for a mac report writer. Let me know if anyone finds anything.
I have found that SQLiteManager has a scripting capability and I have been able to write a report that pulls from Sqlite using the Lua scripting language. There is potential with this approach.

I use SQLiteManager myself for managing the development of the database that I use for Tap Forms. It’s a good app.
Tap Forms Mac has some better reporting abilities than the iOS versions. For example, you can print out a list of records in columnar format and you can print out multiple records at a time. You can also control which fields get printed.
Thanks!
