Ernesto L
Owner - Lead Designer
5.0

Ernesto: Hello, my name is Ernesto. I'm the owner and lead designer of my company. I'm using forms.app and give it a five star rating. For more reviews, click below. Before forms.app, I was using a lot of spreadsheets to gather data, to collect data and use that data for different projects and report. What we managed to do by using forms was change the way we collect data and make it a lot more intuitive and a lot more user friendly. We started using forms when we figured out what forms were, once we realized the potential for forms to gather data on our behalf. So we didn't have to open up spreadsheets and input little numbers inside. It almost automatically does that. We started exploring and experimenting with it. We got very creative in using it as a project management tool to capture data on current workload and reports as well as capture data for surveys that we do. It couldn't be much more easier to use forms.app. It's very intuitive. As soon as you log into it, it gives you the options and the options are easy to navigate. And once you get the hang of one or two, you can make yourself quite a complex form in little or no time. I highly recommend anybody to use forms.app, especially if you're in the position where your team or your company is using spreadsheets just to calculate data and input data, it's a lot more user friendly. And it actually inspires people to input their information as opposed to spreadsheets.
