FileMaker has released an update to Bento, its popular lightweight database application for iOS, adding a number of new features in conjunction with today’s release of Bento 4 for Mac. In addition to adding synchronization support for the new Mac version, Bento 1.1 for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad adds the ability to record voice memos into media fields, adds location fields and simple lists and introduces support for multitasking, Retina Display graphics and printing of embedded PDFs via AirPrint.
The new version also now allows related data fields to be created and edited within the app, allows users to disable Address Book and iCal Tasks synchronization or optionally sync iCal Tasks with Bento 4 for Mac. Users can also now use the app in landscape orientation and view embedded PDFs in full-screen mode.
Bento for iOS is available in two separate versions: Bento for the iPhone and iPod touch and Bento for iPad. Both versions are available on the App Store for $5 each and are a free upgrade for current users.
