But you can do that from your iPhone too correct?

I try to do everything from my iPhone. I even use a Bluetooth keyboard at work to take long notes throughout the day.

Okay. Now I understand your question.
You are right. HanDBase desktop does not do true sync. I have to overwrite the databases just as you say. I am okay with that as I mainly do all editing from my iPhone. Desktop to only view and maintain a good backup.

I use Excel for a number of things around the house: books for my Kindle, yardage charts to keep track of what I sew, and one for my husband's DVDs since he has bought multiple copies of some. I'm hoping to move them to the iPad but I haven't warmed up to either Numbers or Sheet2. I bought a keyboard for the iPad to see if the issue is the program or the screen keyboard. I don't care for 1 finger typing.

Do you see ListPro as a substitute for Excel?

Thanks Roger - I thought I might have missed a setting. I do as you do -
Most of my entries through the phone then "syncing" and overwriting the
desktop. I then have a backup and if I need a large screen to view an
extensive database I use the desktop.

Not if you're using Excel as it's intended to be used, to crunch numbers.

As a way to keep track of things, most definitely. Download the app
from the AppStore, it's free, and play around with it. The desktop
companion can be used for a month's free trial so you can give it a
thorough workout before deciding if you want to pay for the desktop
part.

And as an added bonus, I've found that the guy who seems to be in
charge at Ilium and handles most of the support to be very responsive.

Tehcnically, yes. But I keep my inventory lists in programs from
Collectorz.com, which retrieves the item details online for me, all I
have to do is scan or enter the barcode. I export a csv from there
and import the csv into ListPro.

At last count, I have over 200 books, almost that many DVD/BDs, and
over 800 CDs. No way am I going to (re)enter all of that manually.
Oh, and because I have over 40GB of mp3s and "only" a 32GB device, I
also keep a database of the individual music tracks with me.
