Tap Forms
Using Tap Forms Tap Forms is a fully customizable, easy to use database application. It leverages many of the iPhone’s built in features, and has a similar look and feel as many of the common iPhone apps, such as photos, maps, contacts, browsers, etc. The beauty is that Tap Forms ties them all together using Forms as the main user interface. The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) provides information, resources, and tools to service members and their loved ones to help prepare for the move from military to civilian life. Service members begin TAP one year prior to separation, or two years prior to retiring. For security reasons, TAP and other e-services are not available in most countries outside the United States.
