About inForm for BlackBerry

InForm for BlackBerry is a data management software from Skysoft Systems that facilitates data transmission and synchronization. It includes several options for transmission of data to and from the device, subforms, and USB to CSV (Excel). This allows users to manage and exchange data efficiently between their BlackBerry devices and computer systems. The software supports manual two-way synchronization from one device to a CSV file, providing users with flexibility and control over their data. Key capabilities: data transmission options subforms CSV export functionality manual synchronization BlackBerry compatibility Best for: professionals who need to manage and synchronize data on BlackBerry devices.

inForm by Skysoft Systems is a classic mobile-forms solution tailored for BlackBerry devices, offering a unique blend of simplicity and power. With its drag‑and‑drop PC editor, even non-technical users can quickly build forms, surveys, and micro-applications without writing code. The app supports rich field types—including dates, text, and selects—and allows for conditional logic, branching, and calculations, making it highly flexible for varied field workflows. One of inForm’s biggest strengths is on-device intelligence: it can store up to 10,000 records, and users can search, sort, and filter data right on their BlackBerry. Integration with device-native features like the address book, email, and phone enables streamlined data capture and action within forms. For data synchronization, inForm supports USB exports to CSV, email-based CSV/XML transfers, and even peer-to-peer sharing between devices—very useful in low-network or offline settings. However, inForm shows its age in today’s mobile landscape. It is primarily built for BlackBerry, limiting relevance for modern Android or iOS deployments. The lack of a public marketplace or API means extensibility is minimal, and support/documentation is sparse in current publicly available sources.
