This antique software should be $10, not $70. It has barely been updated since it's heyday 15 years ago in the mid-90's. The mac is sorely in need of a mid-range database and this COULD be it but not at this rate of development. Sad.

iData 3 is my everyday, can't-do-without, instant database for my personal and business data. Finds any word or phrase in one second. Does more complex searches if needed. Stores text, graphics, etc.
Although capable of creating multiple fields of data, I use it simply as one field per record and it works great for me.
I use FileMaker Pro for heavy-duty database use. But iData 3 is my personal instant database, and it syncs with the iPhone version (get iData Mobile

This really is an application I keep finding new uses for, and it keeps getting better. It may not be the slick powerhouse you think you need, but if you try it you'll find it takes care of all kinds of jobs, from a simple bookmark list to maintaining complex, linked research databases. It's wonderfully flexible and very, very stable. I've been a user since I first got DataGenie, years ago. I confess I often try other things then realize "iData will do that... better". iData has built-in telephone and email utilities that I rarely use, and it takes a while to get used to the differences between "Preferences" and "Datafile Settings." Otherwise, there are numerous import options; and between "Export" and printing, you can almost always find a way to get you data out for further processing. DEVONthink Office Pro has the ability to import datafiles as sheets, so you're not locked out of any other format. Best of all, the developer, Robin Casady, is responsive and helpful. It is updated regularly with surprising new features and overall improvements.

StickyBrain, Yojimbo etc.. out the window... I have one think to say: DevonThink !!! These guys should pay me for all the publicity LoL But hey when a product is REALLY good... any other is just pale in comparison.

iData 3 is indispensable. I use it as a personal dictionary, to catalogue my books and keep track of all sorts of data. I'd be lost without it.

I was the user who reported the slight matching errors with combined diacritics: the devs fixed it almost faster than I could keep up with my email! That's service.

iData 3 is extremely stable, intuitive, easy to use and flexible. I recommend it highly.

It's one of my Five Favourite Apps. my MacBook and I would like to be stuck on a desert island with. ;)

Using StickyBrain as noted by some must have a fast processor and lots of Ram. iData Pro i have been using for years and could not keep up with all the changes in StickyBrain (Bloat with its extended database). I finally dumped StickyBrain in favor of iData version 2 and use Growl for notification.

Sticky Brain beat you to Palm support, they have my money for now. Do what they did, just sync to Memo Pad and forget about the Palm client app for now. At $20 cheaper I'd still go with Sticky Brain for now, but I'll keep my eye on this old favorite.

I don't know how long you've used Sticky Brain, and, thus, how many of their recent updates you have weathered. For my part, after many, many hours wasted trying to make Sticky Brain updates work, and after lots of lost data due to Sticky Brain, I finally just dumped it. I'm now trying both iData and the brilliant Mac Journal in place of Sticky Brain and am delighted with both. I've found that I use iData for less complex information I need to store (no reason inherent to iData for this, it just seems to have happened that way for me). It's a great program.

PLEASE add back Palm support and I will upgrade ASAP. The Palm interface could use just a little bit of work to take it from just barely okay, to perfect.

Robin Casady's original QuickDex program is exactly what I needed, and it is still what I really want. The new bloated version is much slower and it does not have the very slick phone number recognition algorithm that was used in QuickDex.

I've been using iData 2 heavily for quite a few months now, so I thought I'd drop back in and do a brief review.

I couldn't imagine being without it, now. I use it for what has now become quite a large personal dictionary, and have it open constantly. It's extremely easy to use, rock-stable (if anything ever does give me trouble, it's not iData 2), quick to respond and well-designed.

I initially got it because I needed full Unicode support, and iData 2 is still one of the very few that provide that. I now also rely on its instant search (other dbs I tried slowed down markedly as my file became larger) and its comfortable interface. I'm looking forward to installing its Palm OS version, so I can take my info anywhere, and synchronize the two. (new T3 :D )

Beats me why the previous reviewer said he had stability problems with it. I tried very hard to break it at one stage, and didn't get anywhere. :) (I think it's forgiven me.)
