Imagine my utter horror when I plunk down $5 for iPad Bento and discover that while you CAN design layouts on the iPad, all text fields can only be 3 lines high. I couldn’t even view one full bar of tablature, needing 6 lines for that. I was so pissed off I didn’t bother hanging on to the app and waiting for updates.
Not that you want to wait for updates for Bento anyways - they charge for their yearly updates on the desktop side, adding precious little to the product other than to correct bugs like the one that caused records with links to old appointments to permanently disappear without warning. Fixing that bug only took about 6 months, and only after they spent 3 of those months claiming it couldn’t be fixed. Oh, and maybe a design gallery so you can download pretty looking versions of DB’s that have data loss bugs.
Just a garbage app all around.

That's crap, man. There are very few things in the tech world that irk me more than lousy software. Some of the stuff people create... I can only wonder what the hell everything else they do looks like.
Hmmm I bet there's a bit of coin to be made with a high-quality DB app for the iPad...
