  Needs a little work

  Pros: For me it came in ahead of iData because of its drag-n-drop sorting in table view, much like an e-mail client. It is much easier to use than a traditional database -- setting up fields, their types, sort order, etc is simple and straightforward. It looks pretty.

  Cons: In Form view, the user is stuck with chokey templates, no way to customize them. No way to adjust fonts either. No way to place a field in lower right corner, it snaps left or up. I'd also like a split view, with the table on top and form below, like the preview pane of an e-mail client. It's being touted as a complement to iWork, but it needs a little work.
