iOS: Fillr’s aim is pretty simple: take the grunt work out of having to enter and possibly re-enter your details on forms while on your iPhone.
Fillr is a free extension for Apple’s Safari mobile browser that stores your most constantly-used forms data ready for use when you hit a form while browsing. Rather than tapping to select each field, you instead tap on the Fillr button in the extension pane and then select the information to go into the fields detected on your given page. All the personal data you put into Fillr is, as per its app description, stored locally within the app.
Next Generation Autofill for Mobile. Why Fillr? Well, who can stand the thought of filling out forms, shopping carts, basically anything on our phones or tablets. Nobody right? So they decided to reinvent a feature that we all know too well on the desktop (Autofill) and design it from the ground up specifically for mobile.
Fillr isn’t just faster, its also more accurate, because it lets you pick and choose the exact pieces of your identity (different address, emails, credit cards etc) that you specifically want to use for each and every transaction.
Today the vast majority of us will browse the net on a mobile device, yet only a fraction of us will actually complete a transaction there. They think jumping from your phone over to your desktop, to finish off what you’re doing, just doesn’t make sense and quite frankly is a waste of your time. So… they bring you Fillr!
They have tried to make Fillr work perfectly on every form… problem is… perfection is an endless pursuit… so if you find a form that Fillr doesn’t work on, please let them know and they will fix it for the next time you visit.
Editor Note: So as I was testing this app out I found currently it doesn’t work with our contact form on our website hopefully soon that will be fixed I will update this post once it’s been fixed

Hey David! Thanks for the review and test – you nailed the core points of difference between Fillr and other autofill solutions. I’m the tech lead on Fillr and noticed you tried to use Fillr on your contact form without success. The issue is the contact form is an iframed document (served up by the popular Wufoo form builder i think), and due to cross domain javascript browser security restrictions we can’t actually access the form content. This is an age old issue for all 3rd party autofill products that aren’t baked in to the browser (i.e. internal api, browser plugin or desktop extension). So one day there might be more options for filling iframe embedded forms, but at the moment there are thousands of other forms that Fillr has world leading accuracy on. Hope you can try some other forms and let me know how you go! 🙂 Cheers Stuart
