Close to giving up on Ninox
I am so frustrated with Ninox and their incapable developers.
I am mainly using the iPad app (I have a 12.9" iPad Pro) but also the web app. Neither one is working reliable and full of bugs. I need to restart it like 10-20 times during the day.
I reported many bugs to them since last year and not a single one has been addresses. (e.g. duplicating a print layout won't copy the images).
As said, not a single one has been addresses.
The update they released today rendered the iPad app unusable. Only showing a white screen. And the WebUI now has new issues. Frankly, I don't know anymore how I can use Ninox and what to make out of all this.
I love it on one site but I can't use it because their apps and Web UI is nothing but a disaster and they don't fix anything.
I am very close on giving up on them despite having spent months of work on our DB.
What's your thought about their developers and issue addressing?
Are you frustrated too with all the bugs to a point that you want to call it quit?

For me I use the MacOS app and only for personal reasons so the nagging issues are something I put up with. The price and availability for MacOS is the main reason I use Ninox. It is hard to find another DB that is as functional at the price of $35.
If I needed to use it for a business I’m not sure what I would choose.

Sorry to hear that your experience with Ninox is not so great.
I am using Nixon on the web for my business (multiple users) and by and large I don't have the kind of issues you are experiencing. Of course there are some shortcomings that may or may not be addressed in a future fix or update. Then there are other things I would like that may never happen if not enough demand is there for them to implement.
However, on the import shortcomings (usually following an update) that has effected or stopped business operation I have found that support have always sorted the issue out in good time.
So is it the best - No ( Finally - after a few years moaning - in the new 3.7 release we get double click direct edit of a sub form !!!!)
Is it good value for money - Yes
Is it frustrating - Yes at times (but I am a user - I have the right to moan!)
Am I ready to leave - Thought about it a few times but short answer is no ...... I have used a lot of other software in the past and Ninox is better that quite a few.
It's counter productive for us to moan /rant on the forum - cos the Ninox team don't really follow the threads (they should !) but really we should all bombard support - that way they might just sit up and take notice....
I'm sure you will make a decision that is right for you :-)
