Tudo pago

### 2/5 — No use without paymemt

*2026-05-17*

You can not use that app without paying, so making it free is just BS.

### 5/5 — Best MySQL Client for iOS

*2026-05-03*

I’ve purchased the Pro versions for both the MySQL and PostgreSQL clients. They’re easily the most visually polished tools I’ve used, without compromising on functionality. These have become my primary applications for day-to-day database maintenance.

The developer is responsive and actively engaged, bug reports are addressed quickly, and support requests receive timely, helpful replies.

### 5/5 — Chart Issue

The chart selection doesn’t allow you to select a chart in CarPlay Widgets.

### 2/5 — 9.9dollar or nothing

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-02-04, version 43.0*

### 5/5 — Fantastico

*2025-12-06, version 42.0*

10 euro spese benissimo. Mi capita spesso di dover fare interventi fuori ufficio e questa app è una salvezza.

### 5/5 — Useful widgets on home screen

*2025-11-06*

Connects to my MySQL 5.7 database easily and lets me quickly manage my database from my iPad. Having the graphs as widgets is a great feature! I wish there was just a “Big Number” graph/widget where it just showed a title and a statistic in the future.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Additional widgets are under development, please stay tuned

### 5/5 — Amazing - Complete Desktop Client

*2025-10-31*

I really cannot say enough about this app.  It has every feature you would expect from a MySQL management app.  This is desktop quality.
