3 ways Airtable for iOS can help you ditch spreadsheets | CIO - 0 views

Gary Edwards on 02 Apr 16"The free Airtable database app for iOS has an edge over spreadsheets, and it lets you easily collaborate with other users. It may be overkill for some people, but its flexibility in storing and sorting data could be invaluable to others." It's been nearly three years since Bento, an easy-to-use database app for Mac and iOS, joined the digital junkheap. During that time, I hadn't seen anything that can truly replace Bento - until I tinkered with Airtable. Airtable is a free iOS app that recently received a big upgrade. It has the look and feel of a spreadsheet app, such as Numbers or Excel, but it has a relational database engine as well. (Airtable's Android app is currently in beta, there's a Google Chrome app, and you can use Airtable's website to create and edit your databases.) New features include the abilities to share records via email, search the database template gallery, and create calendar events from date fields.
