Customer feedback drives useful enhancements in Bento 4

Release Bento 4 Mac was in accordance with the Product Manager Ryan Griggs, driven primarily by client requests. Bento 4 is more useful and polished in many small ways, so much more enjoyable to use and more productive in certain situations.

While users will want to check list Bento features added in this version, I would like to address one function on the right from the top, which may refer to someone who has so far avoided the program. This latest release includes the ability to sync with iCal tasks, like now syncs with iCal appointment calendars and contacts address book. Bento is now much more complete solution for managing the project, which you can add contacts, calendar and tasks in one place and extend it with additional information.

Even better Bento for Mac will then synchronize data with Bento for iPhone or iPad, every 4 Bento, one of several ways you can customize iCal tasks on your mobile device iOS. Because there is no native application for iPhone and Bento 4 is najczystszym and the easiest way that I know about the supply of iCal tasks to the iPhone and is a good solution for those that may not require the full power of something like OmniFocus or things.

Printing has been significantly improved. Label printing is a new feature that Griggs suggested was the most requested addition of users. 250 label templates, Avery and Dymo are built-in, and you can create a custom label sizes and the inclusion of the database fields and images to the project. You can also specify printing systems to optimize forms to both write data on the screen and for printing on paper or PDF.

A unique feature of Bento Exchange template is where users can share templates of the project. The Exchange template now has over 800 templates, which have been taken collectively, 650,000 times. The Exchange should continue to grow even faster now, that you can share the template directly from the application, Bento.

You can also export a template with the data in the file sharing to someone else. This allows you to easier to implement with Bento database and simply send this piece to someone else to use the data that is already in it.

The function simple mail was extended to more a spreadsheet function. You can add summary rows and perform simple calculations in the list.

When editing a form easily stopped, you can also lock the form in order to keep from accidentally moving elements.

Bento for iPhone and iPad have been updated for synchronization with Bento for Mac and support iCal tasks. All three also supports a new feature in the location field, which allows you to capture the current GPS coordinates and store them in a data field. On Mac you can use this function to be based solely on the Wi-Fi positioning, while you can use the GPS, if present on the iPhone or iPad. Another new field type is Note a vote. Your voice can be recorded directly in the field of the media.

You can imagine new uses for these fields, where they can take notes during the trial of real estate and voice location GPS. Or you may interview the research themes and capture the location as well as an interview. Or notes photo shoot and insert GPS coordinates. Is the Favourite, which provides additional flexibility for certain users.

Bento 4 is available in the App store Mac and retail outlets. The new version costs $ 49, with the family pack of five licenses are available for $ 99. If you are using an earlier version of Bento, you are eligible for discount $ 20 during the upgrade.

New versions of Bento for iPhone and Bento for iPad are free updates for existing users. Applications cost $ 5 and are available in the iTunes App Store.
