Form Filling Programs(Google & RoBoform)

[cath_31]

This may be a strange "product" to post, but it makes life so much easier. When filling out all those forms for freebies, just click "Autofill" on the Google toolbar and you save your fingers alot of typing. It is also great for filling out forms for contests. I know there are alot of other form filling programs that you can get and boy do I suggest all of you get one. Many years and computers ago, I had something like this and had forgotten all about it. When I went to contestgirl.com (which I read about on a different post on here), she suggested it and I am sure glad that I got it. Go to her site and she gives you direct links to a couple of these. Roboform is another one that alot of people like. Here are links to both of them.

I wholeheartedly agree with you! I could not live without my google toolbar.

[5onit]

i was happy to discover the autofill on the google toolbar its the best feature but the popup blocker ist very good on it doesnt block as well as aol's but it does have a pagerank which comes in handy for you sample and survey seekers it will rank the page

[cath_31]

The only problem I have noticed with the Google toolbar is that sometimes it blocks pop-ups that I actually wanted to see. When this happens I just right click and uncheck google until I am done with what I need to look at. Of course I have 4 different toolbars, so it's no problem. That AutoFill sure has saved me tons of time though, so I definitely am glad to have it!

[medicgrrrl]

thanks for the tip on google autofill!

[sweety19]

[caryn]

I am going to have to look into these. I have the googe tool bar but haven't looked at it much. I WILL!

Carol - we can upgrade to Roboform Pro for free before 8/31 - I had to unistall it this morning because IT is coming to make some changes to my work computer...hehe - I am not supposed to have anything like that here at work...oopsies..lol.

Anyways, went I went to unistall it a screen popped up and invited me to upgrade to "pro"!:D

[Cpogie]

Thanks Wendy!! I just updated the program, fast and easy! I love this form filling program, sure makes getting samples a breeze! :)

filling these out takes 4ever, HELP

[mom2fussbudgets]

Personally, I like Google's form filler. It even blocks those pesky pop-ups.

[BRONXMIKE]

Google autofill is the way to go. You will wish you had gotten it much earlier.
Go to the search page and type identically to my title above.

lauriee, I merged your post with this one because it has some good tips for you, I got my tip from this thread and now I use the RoboForm which is free to use, check it out!

[mag1803178]

I love roboform I have been using it for a long time and it makes entering sweepstakes a breeze

[Jaymison84]

the only thing i don't care for on the autofill is I live in an Apt... so sometimes it gets mixed up in the forms.. i have sent a few that had my street address twice than one line of it being the street and the next one being the apt number..

[billjriv]

I love Roboform form filling program but I'm looking for one that is as good or better and is free.*Please only post if your sure it's comparable or better seeing how there are so many bad ones out there.-Thanks :D

[gatito]

I Have Roboform Free ... I Have It For Months And Never Paid A Cent

[billjriv]

Before my free version quit filling forms,so the free version doesn't have a limited time use?

[gatito]

Before my free version quit filling forms,so the free version doesn't have a limited time use?

IT SAYS IT DOES BUT I HAVE NOT PAY ANYTHING....I BELIEVE I HAVE IT SINCE SEPTEMBER AND STILLS FREE

[rebate queen]

I have Roboform also and have had it for months and have never paid a dime. You only need to pay if you want a better(more deluxe) version of it.

YES......I'M HAPPY WITH THE CHEAP VERSION LOL !! I WILL NOT PAY ! :p

[rebate queen]

It does have a limited time for unlimited password storage and probably some other features, but not for form filling. When you are toward the end of your time you will start getting little messages from them where they are trying to get you to upgrade, but they will not take away anything to do with form filling.

[cath_31]

Google also has a free form filling program that I use. There is another thread I started further back in the 'Products You Love' section that talks about it.

Cath_31 thanks for the reminder of your thread! :)

No problem. I was wondering if we should change the title of this thread to include Roboform or maybe just title it "Form Filling Programs." It won't let me edit the title, but maybe you can do it since you are a mod. If you want to change it go ahead.

[Cpogie]

All done, that is better, it includes any of them out there this way, thanks!!

[mmms]

Now that the free trial period is over, the form filler works great, but the log-in function no longer does.... says I must knock down to 10 or less or buy the program. Is there a way around this?

[mmms]

the google form filling program mentioned above?

[Motherofthree]

Thanks everyone for all this great info!!!!

So would you say the Google form filling program is as good as Roboform,I know Roboform is about the best but I'm looking for another one that I wont have to keep clicking No to activating it because i'm too much of a freebie addict to pay for it.

I like Roboform much better than autofill. I think it more thoroughly fills things out. If you keep the same password at most sites it will still automatically fill out a main password too. Those messages will stop soon about activating it--once they stopped for me I have never received another one. I don't remember how long it happens but it wasn't very long.

I like it alot. I just click on it and it fills in my information for free samples, contests, Deal or No Deal at home entries, etc. I have never used Roboform so I can't tell you which one is better though. I figured if you wanted an option for a free form filler, I'd let you know about this one.

[star1997]

RoboForm is like autofill on Google toolbar but now you don't need google.Heres the link if you want to download it

P.S.This is great when filling in samples it takes now time then with it taking you forever to type in your info:D

[bvanpeltsw]

Yes, a lot of us already use Roboform.

[.veronica.]

I've been using Roboform...its great!

[GloryB]

I happen to be using AutoFill now....but I used to only use Roboform. They are both real good. If it wasn't for having such a program....I wouldn't do freebies because of all the typing. It really makes it simpler and faster.

[dali_]

So, over time I've seen people say, and in skimming this thread as well, that the form-fillng feature of RoboForm never stops working? So, I *finally* downloaded it a while back (probably a month or so), got addicted... and now it won't fill out forms anymore. For a while when I clicked "no" I don't want to buy, it went ahead and worked, but now it just does nothing! Any ideas? Did they "fix" this "problem" (in their eyes ;) ) in the current version I have?
Wonder if I can get an older version... :rolleyes:

I've been using RoboForm for many many months and have had no problems at all, I would uninstall your version and reinstall it, should work fine then. I would be lost without this excellent program!! goodluck.

I did that too my first couple days with it :D
I did a search and found a link for an older freeware version of it, but I haven't tried it yet, I sure hope I can get that or a reinstall to work.

I think it will work fine if you first uninstall the old one, It doesn't matter what version you use as long as you choose the free one. goodluck!!!

[mom363546]

Carol thank you for locating this thread.The other day I was searching for it to repost for the new comers.I could not get it to come up in any search I did.I knew it was still out there but I sure couldn't pull it up.

It wasn't me, it was dali who pulled it up last night, but it really needed to come out again to let others know about this program.

[mom363546]

sorry guess I didn't read back far enough. But I'm so glad someone did bring it up.

[mom363546]

I have a hard time with the search area.Many times I try to look up like a dup. and I won't be able to find it yet I know it was already posted.by the time I finally dig far enough in the back pages you or chris usually have it removed. :)

[dali_]

It wasn't me, it was dali who pulled it up last night, but it really needed to come out again to let others know about this program.

it came up in the search for me, I had to hunt through a list of random mentions of it though... I was just looking for anything that was talk about it in general to post my problem with it ;) (I'm too tired to try a reinstall or anything right now lol I shouldn't be staring at this screen anymore at all :p )

When I did my search I only pulled up like 3 threads. I also tried to search posts and I got like 4.I knew that wasn't right because I read most all post and knew it had been mentioned several times.I tried several times got frustrated and gave it up. So I'm really glad it was brought back to the top.

Sometimes you just have to use a basic search, like the word "form", it comes right up. The search can be touchy, but I have used it so many times I kinda have it figured out.

[cheesygiraffe]

Is roboform better than google AutoFill?

Anyone? :confused:

[cath_31]

Anyone? :confused:

I think alot of us have only tried one or the other, so I don't really know which one is better. I started this thread, originally talking about Google's Autofill, which is the one that I use. I am happy with it. Alot of others on here like Roboform though. If you haven't already, I would suggest that you read this thread through from the beginning and maybe you can decide which one sounds right for you. HTH :)

[sonshineheights]

OK...I just downloaded roboform and have only filled out 2 forms so far and love it. Thanks for all the comments from everyone.:)

[utkd29]

Bump....bump

I'm just trying to figure it out at the moment :confused:

I love this thing!

[Jess0587]

How do you get this to not pop up everytime you are on a new site? or don't want to save a password to certain sites?

[Jess0587]

bump.... can someone please answer my question?? in my last post

[Cpogie]

How do you get this to not pop up everytime you are on a new site? or don't want to save a password to certain sites?

You mean when it asks if you want to save the password? If so, I know what ya mean, but I just click cancel and it stops.

[Jess0587]

You mean when it asks if you want to save the password? If so, I know what ya mean, but I just click cancel and it stops.

Yep, that's what I mean. I hit cancel too, but I didn't know if there was a way to cancel it on certain sites, where it remembers not ask everytime.

[bvanpeltsw]

LOL I have never tried a form filling program. I am still in the dark ages.

[Jess0587]

LOL I have never tried a form filling program. I am still in the dark ages.

lol! I finally did it and I really like it! It makes things go a LOT faster when signing up for all these contests and things! :D

[utkd29]

LOL I have never tried a form filling program. I am still in the dark ages.

Oh you have to do it! You will go around for the first week just trying to find stuff to fill out! Works great for contest too!:p

[Cpogie]

LOL I have never tried a form filling program. I am still in the dark ages.

Brandy give it a try, you will love it. If this old broad can do it you can, I use just the basic thing on Roboform. If I didn't have this awesome tool I wouldn't be doing the sweeps and contests. I get upset when some forms/sites do not accept this form filling program. I am truly spoiled by this thing!!

[bvanpeltsw]

LOL I know this would make my life soooo much easier!

[Cpogie]

I added the link for Roboform to the OP for anyone who wants to sign up. It is a free program.

[momsangel]

ROBOFORM is the best:D

Thanks for adding that. I also put the link for Google Toolbar in my first post too. That should make it alot easier for people to find them.

[moms43]

Thanks for posting this! I HAVE to get this RoboForm downloaded today. I have to admit I did get a little bummed seeing that it is a 30-day free trial. I don't see where anyone posted that they had to put credit card info down because that I won't do! It sounds from you all that you can still keeping using it after the 30-day trial period so that's good.

This HAS to be amazing to use. I get so tired of typing every single form for a contest.

Thanks again ............... :)

[mom363546]

Believe it or not i just got this a few days ago. I love it! I was using my auto fill that came on my pc it did ok.I was on dial up for years and it just takes to long to download things. I recently got a new pc and last week finally got DSL. OMG Its so nice so I treated myself to some new things.Roboform was one of those. You won't be sorry you got it.

I think mine was a free version.I don't think anyone here pays for it. We'll see what others say but I'm pretty sure theres a free version and thats what I have.


google also has a free one thats works just as well.

[moms43]

Okay, I just downloaded RoboForm and don't know how I have lived without this before! It is amazing! So simple to fill out. I don't know how to do anything else it can do and really, all I want it for is to fill out my free sample forms.

Thanks everyone for their advice!

Debi :D

Does anyone know of a form filler for Opera browser, I haven't be able to find one. Roboform does not support it.

I don't know of one either, please report back if you ever do find one.
Altho since so many sample sites require cookies and sometimes don't work with Opera, I generally use Firefox for sample stuff... I like to keep stuff turned off in Opera to use that for general surfing. Still, I'd be interested in trying something for it.

[GrapeKoolaid]

OMG!!!! I was pretty proud of myself for being able to type the info in the forms so quickly - but this is GREAT! Now I feel like a dummy for not using it sooner! :o

[kristy26101]

Gee, I just installed RoboForm and I love it! I never knew there was something like this, sure makes filling out forms a breeze! and this is totally free!!!

yes i love roboform to, it makes things so much easiewr

[mmm151]

I've had Roboform Pro for a few years now and I love it, but I've recently changed my default browser to Chrome because it's so much faster than Firefox. You would think that Google would've at least incorporated the Auto-Fill into their browser since they make it available on their toolbar.

[bytheocean2]

Thanks for this useful tool. I installed the Google and for sure my fingers will be very glad about this - not to mention my brain...:)

[bytheocean2]

Thanks for the info on this great tool. I used to have something like this. I choose the free Google one. I am not seeing a toolbar, which actually is good as my hubby gets nervous when he sees something new on his computer - :)

[flbooks7]

I can't seem to find where the free version of roboform is... my IT son rebooted my computer yesterday and it took mine off... wiped out all my favorites... I've used roboform for so long... I don't remember what my passwords are. To give him credit.... my computer is a WHOLE lot faster.

Go to www.roboform.com (http://www.roboform.com) there is a gold bar running across the page with choices--click on home download--then it is your first choice listed on the page!;)

[flbooks7]

ahhh.. thank you my life saver friend... I hate filling in forms by hand typing!

[candy527]

I have that, but I find it annoying when on some pages I dont need to enter information on, it pops up on my screen.

[xjaneex]

YES! thank you! Ive been looking for stuff like this!

[ilovethefreestuff]

Thanks for posting your opinions about this. I manually fill out forms and it stinks. I've heard about RoboForm but wasn't sure about it. I going to start using that now. Thanks for your advice.
