New Releases of StoreIt Applications

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

We are pleased to announce the latest releases of StoreIt and StoreItPro. Update 2.5 includes a couple of the most requested features to make better use of the screen space on the item view so you can see more information at once.

  • The record fields are all grouped together with the field name on the same line as the value instead of the field values being separated by the field names.
  • You can create your own field groupings by editing fields and setting the ‘Grouping Field’ attribute. This will create a break after the grouped field so it is possible to group related fields together.
  • The item view will also preview multiple lines (up to 10) of a text or note field where it is too long to fit within a single lines. So it is no longer necessary to tap through to see the longer details.

The latest versions of StoreIt and StoreItPro is available immediately from the AppStore.

SQL on the iPhone

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

During development of StoreIt, it is sometimes nice to be able to test SQL running directly on an iPhone without going through the process of building the code into the application. This gives a good idea of performance which you wouldn’t get running the same SQL off the device. For this purpose, we built a little tool for creating and querying a SQLite database on an iPhone or iPod Touch. We are pleased to announce that we have now made this application available through the AppStore.

SQLite Database Console supports the following features:

  • SQL console providing access to the SQL language supported by the SQLite database platform.
  • Access to all recently executed statements for easy re-execution.
  • Recently executed statements saved between sessions.
  • Access to the SQLite SQL documentation within the application meaning you can easily switch between the documentation and SQL console when building your queries.
  • Connect to the SQLConsole from your desktop machine over Wi-Fi to enable backup and restore of database.
  • Use database SQLConsole connection to load SQLite databases created on other machines.

You can find out more about SQLite Database Console on www.database4iphone.com or SQLite Database Console is available now on the iPhone AppStore.

iPhone Business Forms with StoreIt Professional Edition

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Building on the success of the StoreIt Database Application, we are pleased to announce the release of StoreItPro.

We had received a number of requests for functionality that we felt would take StoreIt beyond it’s original vision of providing an easy to use app for storing and retrieving data on the move. People wanted to use it across their business, which meant more control was required over how data was entered into the database. As a result we have built StoreItPro, a powerful forms and mobile database tool for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Whether for individual use or sharing across your business, with the addition of powerful features such as field constraints, conditional fields and calculations across fields and records, StoreIt Professional Edition delivers a tool for building and deploying business forms applications that help you to run your business whereever you are.

Read more about StoreItPro at www.database4iphone.com or on the iPhone App Store.

We are also pleased to announce the release of our latest update for our standard edition of StoreIt. Listening to user feedback, StoreIt Update 2.1 includes the following usability enhancements and bug fixes.

  • You can now change the order of fields after a category has been created.
  • It is now possible to select a view without having to enter the edit view screen.
  • Note fields are displayed using the full screen when keyboard is not visible.
  • Import/export to text file supports newlines within quoted strings.
  • Auto-capitalization of Category and Field names.
  • Fixed display of duplicate and missing records in item lists for large data sets.
  • Various fixes to handling of view and filter definitions.

This update is available immediately from the iPhone App Store or you can read more at www.database4iphone.com.
