### 1/5 — Ms Access Viewer

*2018-04-08*

Worst application I’ve ever downloaded from the Apple Store. Full of Bugs. In the  description, it did not mention that you needed to subscribe to Dropbox. It doesn’t get to show all the records of the database. The search function does not work properly. The advance search, aborts the application. It is full of bugs. Is pitching your $9.99 to the waist basket.

**Developer response:** Hi, you don't need Dropbox to use the App, there are features to open database from iCloud or Dropbox or other storage, you can also use iTunes App file share to copy from or to the App.  Please send use email xuecsapp@gmail.com if you need help.

### 1/5 — I can not Open any Access Data Bank with this App!

*2017-12-16*

It is simply waste of Money to buy this App!

**Developer response:** Hi, we have tested correctly on many databases, your database maybe encoded if you can't open. Please send us email if you need help.

### 1/5 — 没有计算功能。

*2017-11-19*

原来打算取代手提电脑的，结果只能预览部分的数据库，完全没有计算功能。没有用。（我的数据库是office2000的access）

### 1/5 — Don't open accdb files

*2017-05-22*

I bought this appt thinking that it will open Microsoft Access, but it is a waste of time and money. This app DOES NOT open files previously created with Microsoft Access. Don't waste your money.

### 2/5 — Pretty buggy

*2017-01-19*

In-app purchases don't work and editing tables (removing rows, etc) is very buggy and won't work a lot of the time.

### 1/5 — The app does not follow description

*2016-03-05*

Cannot create table in this app, however following the description and the instructions it should be possible. The "add" button, to create table is missing from the screen, however it is present in the instructions layout.

**Developer response:** Hi, the user guide instruction include all features, please send us email if you need help.

### 1/5 — FALSE ADVERTISING!!

*2022-10-14*

Despite Quang Lee’s claim and the name he has given this app, it DOES NOT work with ACCDB files at all!  He must realize this, and intentionally scamming trusting buyers. 

Would YOU buy any other apps from this guy?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your interest in our App, this App has been developed nearly ten years, it definitely works with ACCDB databases, the database maybe encrypted if can't open, you can find help in the App description. The App was used by thousands of satisfied customers every day. It may still have some bugs, but main feature is quite stable. We will release some update very soon.

### 5/5 — Excellent app providing iOS viewing for legacy Access databases

*2022-12-13*

Works perfectly. Opens databases from dropbox and with a small extra page upgrade it is possible to view the detail inside records in each table. This is exactly what I needed and the app is absolutely perfect for my use case.

### 5/5 — 最棒的数据库软件

*2015-01-18*

界面漂亮，方便好用，打开中文数据库一点问题都没有，价格也便宜，期待更多功能。

### 5/5 — Does not work with foreign databases

*2014-11-20*

I'm french, and app crashes with all of my access database. Support told me that my databases contain special characters and they don't know if they can fix the bug... So i'm waiting for a bug fix, but for now, if you have databases other than in english, it will maybe crashes...

Same problem in 2.1...

Yessss ! problems fixed with the last version 2.2 ! Thank's very much to developers !

### 4/5 — Learning by Doing !!!

*2022-01-06*

Meine „ACCESS“ APP war nur noch mit alten auf dem iPhone gespeicherten Datenbanken zu nutzen. Die APP gibt es auch nicht mehr im APP-Store. 

Mit dieser APP kann ich wieder meine aktuellen ACCESS Datenbanken, die ich auf meinem iPhone / iPad bzw. in der iCloud in „Dateien“ gespeichert habe nutzen !!!

Die Übersetzungen sind zwar holprig und eine Anleitung fehlt, aber wie gesagt: Learning by Doing !!!

Die APP macht jedenfalls das was ich brauche. 
Ich kann mir alle Daten anzeigen lassen, eine Suchfunktion nutzen, Daten filtern und sortieren. Was will ich mehr?

Mir gefällt es jedenfalls !!!

Ich habe mich erst nicht getraut die APP zu laden wegen der schlechten Bewertungen. Nun bin ich froh, dass ich es riskiert habe. Daher auch nun die Bewertung hier. 
Überall im Internet liest man nur, dass man „MS ACCESS“ nicht auf dem iPhone nutzen kann. Das stimmt Gott sei Dank nicht!

Dankeschön für diese APP !!!

### 4/5 — works fine for me

*2015-12-08*

I am using it to view records from tables in access 2003 mdb imported via dropbox.

quick view add in gives good record formatting even with long text fields.

boolean search fine for me.

had almost given up trying to view access tables on ipad.  xml viewers no use without boolean search and i hadnt found a suitable app.

had usual initial first time problems but got it to work ok .  no crashes on ipad mini 2

developer very keen to sort probs.  will try editing records and sync sometime.

for my needs - well worth the small cost of app and add ins

### 3/5 — Funcional

*2015-12-12*

Serve para ver as tabelas de um arquivo Access. Mas pode ser feito pesquisa usando comandos do próprio app. Para ver detalhes de um registro (row), paga-se mais U$ 0,99. É funcional para mim.

**Developer response:** Olá, houve muitas atualizações. Envie-nos um e-mail se precisar de ajuda.

### 3/5 — Great Concept, Lacking

*2015-11-15*

This would be an amazing app if it actually did what the support said shows. Those screen shots in the .pdf help files don't actually exist on the app. Maybe I'm not doing it right but I want a refund.

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2014-12-02*

This app has potential to be great. Waiting for ability to save DB to Dropbox at the moment it can only read from Dropbox. A bit expensive considering its features & it's a new app
On the market. The following suggestions for improvement:
1. Stop flickering between browser and app.
2. Make it cheaper 
3. Write DB to Dropbox
4. Remove Sql generated feature it's useless
5. Have the ability to execute forms 
6. Enhance user interface have buttons eg make it bigger & better use of colours
7, waiting for next version
Thanks

### 3/5 — 3

*2014-09-04*

Не работает фильтр. Не плохо бы добавить сортировку и работу с облачными сервисами

### 2/5 — Not Very Good

*2017-01-30*

The Pro app will open my Database but will not edit. Crashes every time I try to edit. I have sent a notice to the developer many times for update but no answer. I'm my opinion, this app is only good for viewing and nothing else. Waste of time.
