### 5/5 — The Best Quick Analytics Tool Around

*2024-10-22*

This is absolutely the best thought out data analytics tool around. When you need to run a quick analysis on a small-mid size dataset, this is absolutely stellar. It’s been around a while. Stable, and it just works. Excellent work devs!!!

### 5/5 — Yes, Yes, Yes!

*2019-05-17*

I’m teaching non-analytic creatives (artists) to use the power of data to help them find their market. Guess what my students aren’t good at? Math, coding, scripting and using ‘R’. 

Enter Data Explorer... easy to understand, simple to use “push button” interface... problems solved!

Holy smokes, why hasn’t anyone else thought of this! Well, you guys get my money! I bought your other app, Power Analysis too! Together, very powerful tools!

Vernon....

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for using our app! Our purpose is to bring the power of data to more users. Our team is looking for every opportunity to improve the app. Please email us at feedback@axanalytics.com to let us know if you have any specific use cases or suggestions.

### 5/5 — I am so happy

*2017-09-29*

Amazing software, unique, makes statistic analysis so friendly

### 5/5 — Teacher

*2016-07-05*

I have been teaching both statistics and AP statistics in a high school for over 10 years.  This is the best software I have found to teach the concepts in these courses.  It plays really nice with Google Drive, has great analysis capabilities, and makes very nice displays.  I have been able to put data sets on Drive and have students easily upload them into data explorer and do some quick analysis, without having to manually type in the entire data.  Students have used the app to learn all of the concepts of the courses and use the output for some very nice reports.  I highly recommend the app for anyone teaching statistics or needing to do some easy analysis.

### 5/5 — Data Excited!

*2014-10-11*

Just started using it. Very user-friendly. Impressed at its ease of use—especially since I’ve used SPSS. Nice to have a version on my iPad mini. I look forward to exploring and discovering Data Explorer’s capabilities!

### 3/5 — Potential use..BUT..where is Full version

*2014-08-31*

None of the in app purchases are made available. This usually is a major annoyance of Inapp purchases - you are constantly nagged. Here i want the Full monty.. and nowhere can I find purchase options.

### 1/5 — Time waster

*2014-08-10*

Long time iPad user but found it Impossible to pin the data to run the regressions. Also some (not all) analyses don't allow labels in top row so you need to pin just the data. Unusable.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-08-14*

This app is very powerful and practical.  Can be substituted for a lot of high level statistical procedures.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2013-06-08*

Completely unintuitive interface and no manual.  Support is just a website to ask questions.  You can't sell software without a manual! I hope the people selling this know about karma.

### 5/5 — Very cool app for data analysis

*2013-04-24*

It is a really cool app for data analysis. I am glad to use it for my work. The emailing output PDF is very useful. Kudos for the support team, they answer my questions and really update the app per my suggestions in a timely fashion!
