But it's half-baked. Both the app originator & the chief indexers refuse to update past OS X 10.6.8 and their index doesn't work well with the version of FileMaker used (v9) when the end user is running Sierra.

Allegedly, the app wallah is working on updating the app to use a newer FileMaker runtime. Can't come soon enough.
