Prior to version 12 FileMaker Go was an app you could create a database
with but you had to buy the app. When they came out with version 12,
the app was made free but it's really a viewer with some editing
capabilities but you can't design a database from scratch with it. You
need to create the database on your Mac and then upload that to your
iPad and then in FileMakerGo you can add entries (I believe.)
I've read no explanation as to why they ruined the very able FileMakerGo
version 11 -- I guess they felt they were losing sales of the desktop
component (although it created a sale when I decided to switch to
FileMaker expressly because of the iPad app and wanted to have the
desktop component as well!)
But for whatever reason we're stuck with version 12 and have lost the
ability to create a database on the iPad.
