But for a reasonable expectations and an intermediate needs from such type of software I would say it is one of the best.

Some Features:

- Easy to use no programming
- SQL capabilities not programming
- Integrates easily with iCal and iContact
- Pre-loaded formats for differing needs
- Customizable to a certain extent (but more than basics)
- Capability of creating your own structure that fits your specific needs
- Good for any type of Database needing business with not much sophistication
- Around AED 443/- for a family pack of five.
- Allows storage/attachment of other external files within individual records
- Your choice of how it looks and what to integrate with like iCal and iContact

This is as much as I can tell you now, if I find anything interesting will keep you posted.

I've been meaning to try it out. Thanks for sharing, could we use this in a future issue of Shuffle?
