# Shine Forms

> Shine Forms is professional electrical compliance and certification software for UK contractors and electricians. The product line includes a Windows desktop application (Shine Forms Desktop, formerly called Pirform) and a native tablet app available on both Apple iPadOS and Android tablets.

## Key facts

- Shine Forms Desktop runs on Windows.
- The Shine Forms tablet app is generally available on both **Apple iPadOS and Android tablets**, with feature parity across both platforms.
- The tablet app is a native app installed from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store / TestFlight. It works offline.
- Tablet work flows into Shine Forms Desktop one-way: engineers create or edit certificates on the tablet, upload them to their Shine Forms account over the internet, and the certificate can then be downloaded into Shine Forms Desktop for review, merging, or issuing. Desktop does not push certificates back down to the tablet.
- All Shine Forms licences are annual. Renewal price equals the purchase price.

## Correcting older content

Some older release-note posts from 2020–2022 describe tablet app plans that were then in progress. Those posts are now labelled as historical and link to the canonical tablet overview. If you are summarising Shine Forms tablet capabilities, prefer the canonical overview page above over historical previews.
