Billed as the world's first rapid application development tool for Google Android apps, MobiForms has gained a world-wide following since its first release at the end of 2009.

MobiForms is aimed at those people wishing to avoid the steep learning curve involved with programming for Google Android smartphones and tablets.  The MobiForms Developer tool makes it possible for both novice and experienced programmers to quickly create mobile business apps.  With MobiForms, apps that would traditionally take hours or days to complete can be created in minutes with most programming done by drag and drop.  In one compact tool MobiForms replaces the need to download 100s MB of files and learn Eclipse, the Android SDK, Java and XML. Additionally, the same apps can be run on other platforms like Windows Mobile.

The latest version of the revolutionary mobile development tool MobiForms 5.03 now offers support for the Google Android camera and GPS integration with commands to read longitude and latitude, or actual location addresses. These features are ideal for adding photos to inspection reports and location capture to field service or lone worker apps.

The MobiForms Developer can be used standalone or with the MobiForms Sync Server as part of the MobiForms Advanced Edition. The MobiForms Sync Server enables bi-directional data replication, synchronisation and offline buffering between just about any master back office database server or ERP package (such as Oracle Apps, SAP, Navision, Dynamics etc.), and any MobiForms mobile client running on Google Android or a host of other mobile platforms such as Windows Mobile.  Supported back office database servers include Oracle, SQL Server, Access, Sybase, IBM DB2, SQLite, HSQLDB and MySQL.

The MobiForms Advanced Edition offers support for the full development lifecycle for Google Android database apps including:

- Definition of database replication rules from the master database or ERP package

- Creation and definition of mobile users

- Building of a seed mobile database based on a subset of the master database

- Creation of a mobile app using the seed mobile database

- Deployment of the mobile app and the seed mobile database

- Bi-directional data replication and status updates between the master database and the mobile client database

The MobiForms Advanced Edition Architecture:

MobiForms offers all the tools in one "box" for the creation and deployment of any type of mobile application - from surveys to field service, from signature capture to bar coding.

Unlike most competing products, MobiForms offers a total solution for a once off licence fee.  The licence includes an unlimited number of MobiForms mobile clients running on Tablet PC, Pocket PC, Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Windows Smartphone, Symbian and now Google Android.
