FileMaker has introduced a version of its personal database software Bento for iPad, pricing it at $4.99. It’s a standalone version of the database software that also synchronizes with its Mac and iPhone counterparts.

Based on Bento for iPhone, Bento for iPad includes 25 pre-designed, customizable templates that range from event planning and time billing to recipes, classes and more. Each database template is modifiable. Bento supports 15 different field types including text, numbers, choice, checkbox, media, time, date and more.

Bento for iPhone has already sold more than 100,000 copies, according to Bento product manager Ryan Griggs. FileMaker hosts a Bento Template Exchange where users can download nearly 600 templates for use with Bento; more than 300,000 templates have been downloaded to date.

Griggs told The Loop that FileMaker anticipates Bento for iPad will be used in sectors ranging from business – everything from displaying portfolios and performing field data collection – to personal use, with schedules and to do list, recipes and more.

Enhancements made to Bento for iPad include full screen forms and a split screen view that’s not available on the iPhone. Text fields can expand and shrink using a tap, and the software fully supports both landscape and portrait orientation. Gesture support has been implemented, and users can swipe left or right to switch records.
