“Bento has been one of the leading productivity apps for the Mac and iPhone for some time and we’re very excited to now bring a great version to iPad at an incredible price,” said Ryan Rosenberg, FileMaker vice president of marketing and services.
The new Bento for iPad provides gesture support navigation on iPad and takes full advantage of the innovative device’s big screen. The app works in both portrait and landscape views, automatically switching between views as the user rotates the iPad. Users can simply touch the screen to edit information in choice, date and rating fields and checkboxes. A new quick tap lets users watch videos, view photos and send e-mails. Customers can even browse web links in Bento without leaving the app.
The app features cool new notebook, clipboard, and glass themes that you can apply to any Bento library to make your database look as great as it works. It also includes 25 pre-designed customizable templates ranging from event planning, time billing, recipes, classes, dieting and more—all designed to make organizing iPad content and activities easy. All templates are fully modifiable, and users can create their own libraries to suit any type of task. To make it easy to bring together all your information, the new Bento for iPad supports 15 field types including text, numbers, choice, checkbox, media, time, date, durations, currency, rating, address, phone number, email, URL and IM Account.
Bento for iPad is priced at $4.99. Available today (in English only) from the U.S. Apple App Store, Bento for iPad will be available in other countries when iPad is available there.
