Hello Brendan and community,
it has been a while I used Tap Forms, as I need to share data with family members that have their own Apple ID, Is there a way to share data among each other via Internet? So no local sync or nearby…?
CouchDB is nothing that I can use as I cannot find any hoster that is offering it and building my own instance is lacking knowledge…
Many thanks for letting me know…
Cheers
Yogie
Hi Yogie,
I’m sorry, but you can’t share databases across different Apple IDs with iCloud sync. It’s something I’m hoping to be able to offer in a future version, but I haven’t started working on that yet.
For now your only option would be to signup for a free IBM Cloudant account and just share the same service credentials with your family members.

Be forewarned that IBM likes to change their website frequently, so the above instructions are not entirely up-to-date, but the gist of it is there. And if you have any troubles, just email me or reply here and I’ll help further.
Thanks,
Brendan
