The power to figure it out
If you're managing lists in spreadsheets or on paper, Bento 4 for iPad lets you see and interact with your data like never before.
It includes a powerful calculation feature so you can add formulas with a few taps. Plus, you can see summary stats for each column without typing any formulas. Just tap to turn on the summary row to see counts, sums, averages, maximum values, or minimum values.
You’ll also get easy and accurate data entry with pop-up choice lists, checkboxes, and more.
Scroll through your table data with a simple swipe up, down or across, and sort with a tap.
Even create Collections that group information into subsets – just like Playlists in iTunes.
Stays in sync
Similar to Bento for iPhone (sold separately), Bento 4 for iPad is a great standalone app.
It also synchronizes directly with Bento for Mac so you can automatically keep your desktop and iPad up-to-date whether editing information on your Mac or iPad.
Note: Sync requires Bento 4.1 for Mac or later.
Contacts app data and/or Address Book data will be imported into a Bento Contacts library and disconnected from Contacts and/or Address Book.
