### 3/5 — update new features please

*2022-03-10, version 2.3.7*

5month still no update

### 2/5 — Не работает

*2022-02-19, version 2.3.7*

Перестал подключаться к БД через ssh-туннель; при отмене приложение просто вылетает. Версия для Mac при этом работает как положено.

### 2/5 — 编辑表数据时直接闪退

*2020-08-27*

什么时候能修复一下，都快一年了

### 3/5 — Azure MariaDB支持有Bug

*2020-04-03*

无法连接Azure云的MariaDB RDS。
类似的Bug好像在PC/Mac版本中也出现过，说是3月份修复了？

### 4/5 — dark mode issue

*2020-02-13*

The green color on the top bar is somehow bright enough to hurt my eyes!
Would you please change the green into, such as, black color instead in dark mode ?

In addition, hoping to add the import/export from .xls

### 3/5 — 更新后出现闪退

*2019-12-21*

如题

### 4/5 — Good

*2019-12-16, version 2.3.2*

All it's Good, but it could better.

### 3/5 — No export option

*2019-09-29*

There is no option to export query results.

### 2/5 — Vielleicht klappt die App kann ich nicht testen

*2019-04-08, version 2.2.5*

Hallo, voller Freude habe ich die App gekauft, weil ich mit der Windows-Testversion sehr zufrieden war.
Da ich die Datenbank nun vom iPad bearbeiten wollte( welches leider nun defekt ist) habe ich die App trotzdem für iOS gekauft.
Leider kommt es beim Verbindungsaufbau sofort zu folgender Fehlermeldung: 2059 - Authentication plugin ‚caching_sha2_password‘ cannot be loaded: dlopen(/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin/caching_sha2_password.so, 2): image not found
Tja und das war es. 
Seltsam ist auch, die Datenbank ist umgestellt auf 5.7 Kompatibilität. Somit dürfte es nicht zu dieser Meldung kommen.

Nachtrag: nach vielem Lesen klappt es nun. Ich habe einen neuen Benutzer mit grant Rechten hinzugefügt, nun kann ich die Datenbank bearbeiten. Eventuell hätte auch das geklappt:
ALTER USER 'username' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';

Das Programm klappt scheinbar nur mit Plain/Native Passwörtern. 🤔

### 4/5 — Kein Landscape Modus?

*2019-01-31, version 2.2.5*

Verbindung zur Datenbank problemlos. Allerdings wundere ich mich sehr, dass die Ansicht der Tabellen keinen Quermodus unterstützt.

### 2/5 — iOS版本可以支持模型编辑不

*2018-12-13*

刚买了这个软件，iOS版本，不能添加模型，电脑添加模型同步之后不能编辑，这个要如何处理

### 3/5 — Где Split View?

*2018-11-10, version 2.2.4*

Отсутствует поддержка  Split View. Очень неудобно из-за этого пользоваться. Обновите уже приложение в конце то концов!

### 4/5 — Only Missing Exports and Imports Otherwise Excellent

*2018-11-10*

This is by far the best app for working with mysql databases - especially when working with them over SSH connections secured by a key.... except you cannot import or export the data.

Others have stated this on their reviews and I have to agree - there are free MySQL connectors that will do exports to CSV... it is so weird that this polished of an editor would be missing this feature.

I own Navicat for the Desktop and love it.

### 1/5 — Out of date -unsupported

*2025-02-26, version 2.4.2*

Can’t even open up diagrams created in current versions of the Navicat desktop client.

In dire need of an update.

### 1/5 — Buggy to create/modify ssh tunnels

*2023-09-24*

As the title , buggy to modify ssh tunnels , even create new connection using ssh tunnel still unusable.
Other alternative apps are working well .

### 1/5 — Не открываются модели

*2023-09-21, version 2.4.2*

При попытке открыть модель - invalid file format. 
С ПК открывается без проблем.

### 1/5 — 闪退

*2023-06-12*

多条件筛选时闪退

### 1/5 — Would expect higher quality with this high cost product

*2022-04-21*

Bugs appear all too often (latest is that a table cannot be successfully selected for edit, delete, et cetera), and capabilities do not seem to be enhanced version-to-version.  After all this time, Query Builder is still toylike, lacking the ability to do anything but SELECT, lacking GROUP functions, and so on.  In general, the QUERY builder only works for things one could manually type by hand in a shorter time.  

With a subscription fee, one would expect a product to keep growing.  This one apparently is intended to displell that expectation.

### 1/5 — 能否尽快解决mac上的验证问题

*2021-11-26*

目前是无法登陆账号。

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2021-08-08, version 2.3.5*

Waste of money and time. Poor documentation of error messages on website. Developer wants you to sign up for an account if you need support, which then turns into a dark pattern sales pitch for a premium service. Really annoyed me.  How hard is it to document your error codes

### 1/5 — 就这玩意还好意思收费？

*2021-06-14*

不能试用，买了才知道功能都很差劲很鸡肋，还不给退款。

### 1/5 — Did the Developer abandon this app?

*2021-02-23, version 2.3.4*

Man for such a big company the iOS app has been practically abandoned for almost a year, what gives?

### 1/5 — waste of money

*2016-07-29, version 2.0.3*

From navicat website:"Navicat iOS is the first complete database administration tool developed for iOS, giving you the power to manage your databases" - but you can't do backup database.
Bugs in query builder  - doesn't work with relation tables
support is useless - doesn't answer for emails.

### 5/5 — 버그 인가요?

*2023-11-16, version 2.4.2*

인자가 전달 되는 스토어드 프로시져들을(대부분,,,) 수정 할려고 열면,
‘Routine body goes here…’ 라는 메세지를 담은, 마치 빈 프로시져 
같은 화면을 보여 줍니다. 인자를 갖지 않는 프로시져들은 잘 보입니다.
아예 못읽은건가 해서 DDL을 보면 온전한 텍스트가 들어있습니다. 수정 부탁드립니다.

### 5/5 — Local Connections

*2022-09-30, version 2.3.7*

Best app for iOS and iPadOS so far. 

It seems app is not able to connect local servers. It doesn’t matter if you are on the site directly connecting to a local server or you are connecting over a VPN. I think it is a required ability, could you please check it out?

### 5/5 — Great Apps

*2022-05-29, version 2.3.7*

Really helpful to remote db, like using mac

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2021-10-03*

Tried so many others. 
This is the one I wished I had tried first. I would have saved some money. It has all the features you need on a mobile app and works well.

### 5/5 — 看来没有放弃，更新了

*2019-12-14*

很不错

### 5/5 — 아주 좋아요

*2019-06-14, version 2.2.5*

이동중이나 pc 가 옆에 없을때를 위해 구입했다
다른 무료버전 등과 비교하면 한수준 다르다
검색후 수정이나 추가 등이 자유롭고
세부적인 조절을 GUI 로 조작할수 있다
무작정 sql 로 하라는 식이 아니다
한글문제 없다 
돈 안타깝다

### 5/5 — 永久还是需要续费

*2019-04-02*

这是永久的还是每年需要 续费/

### 5/5 — 布局结构可以更合理

*2019-03-20*

状态页面很奇葩，最大连接数下面显示连接百分比，百分比表下面显示连接数，希望改进。

### 5/5 — Well worth it

*2018-10-17, version 2.2.4*

I use SQL to organise all of the things. This has a high price tag but it does everything a good desktop GUI should do, puts it in the palm of your hand and makes light work of database administration. I installed this earlier today and it's already paid for itself in time saved.

### 5/5 — 좋아요

*2018-10-02, version 2.2.4*

정말 잘 쓰고 있습니다 안드로이드에서도 사용하고 싶은데 없는 것 같아요 제가 투폰을 사용하고 있는데, 안드도 되게 해주세요
감사합니다
