HowdyForms
Build forms. Capture leads. Follow up faster.
HowdyForms turns a phone or tablet into a polished event lead capture station. Build custom forms, lock them into kiosk mode, collect visitor info and photos without an account or internet connection, then review and export everything when the event wraps.
Free to download on iOS and Android; a one-time in-app purchase unlocks photo capture, lead details, CSV export, and backups. Visit the official site at howdyforms.lobsterclawsoftware.com.
Built for real events
HowdyForms is made for trade shows, real estate open houses, conferences, workshops, customer feedback tables, volunteer sign-ups, giveaways, and local check-ins where people are standing right in front of you. Create the form once, style it for the event, hand over the device, and keep every submission organized locally.
What you can do with it
- Custom form builder with text, email, phone, number, date, time, dropdown, checkbox, radio, multiline, and photo fields, plus rating questions built from radio buttons or dropdowns.
- Photo capture so visitors can snap a business card, badge, or product right in kiosk mode, plus up to 3 more photos on any lead. Photos stay on the device.
- Secure kiosk mode with an optional PIN to keep visitors in the form during booth traffic.
- Offline capture for forms, leads, tags, ratings, notes, photos, and backups.
- Ready-made templates for trade shows, open houses, customer feedback, sign-ins, giveaways, and more.
- Lead follow-up tools for ratings, notes, tags, search, and CSV export (or a ZIP with photos) through the system share sheet.
- Branded presentation with colors, fonts, logos, header images, and a thank-you screen with an optional QR code.
Private by design
Forms, leads, and photos stay on the device unless you choose to export or share them. No account is required, no cloud sync is required, and form content is never sent to Lobster Claw Software.
