I cannot connect to any of my apps. Anytime it pulls data it says there's a bad internet connection, which is verified that it is not. ### 1/5 — No good *2015-06-19* If you could see your app stats it would be worth the money. Not sure that I can use this app the way it is now. ### 1/5 — Horrendous *2015-04-18* This app is absolutely awful. I expected this app at least to display the users but it doesn't even do that. This app needs MUCH more to be remotely good. Do not waste your money. ### 3/5 — So much potential *2015-01-08* This app has potential to be awesome, the only problem is it is lacking many of the functions it needs. The ability to preview files (ie: photos), the ability to maintain your database (ie: edit or delete objects), and a better layout for the data. It is also missing classes (install class would be great!) It's also missing key features like moving and editing your list of classes, filters, sorting, etc Could be so much better, not worth paying for yet, so 3 stars for now ### 2/5 — Not ready (barely functional, lacking polish) *2015-01-08* This app is definitely not ready for public consumption, much less a premium price tag. Logging into your app is a cumbersome, bad process (the in app browser is useless, toggling between safari and the app is necessary). Errors are vague: eg "maybe the server is down, maybe there's an issue with your keys; we have no idea!". Once logged in, you need to manually add any classes other than User; couldn't get this feature to work; can't remove added classes (eg to re add when adding fails). I'm extremely disappointed that a paid app offers such terrible functionality. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-01-02* Logged in with wrong credentials and there's no logout button. what a joke ### 1/5 — Disappointed. *2014-08-23* Anticipated more…doesn't allow access to users or their roles, and won't find any of my classes… ### 4/5 — Useful *2014-07-29* This app has helped me keep track and make changes to my parse backend on the go. Much easier than using the parse website on my phone. I hope for an ability to query in the future. ### 1/5 — Dont buy this app *2014-07-25* Cheap my money, dont function, dont do anything ### 5/5 — Works great! Easy to manage my app's data from my phone *2014-05-20* This is great. I can manage my app's Parse data from anywhere and so far everything's worked smoothly. There was some setup involved, but I expected there would be and I was up and running in less than 5 minutes. Really glad I came across this app, will make my life much easier.

Every once in a while, good things happen to those who wait. I know you've been waiting. This update brings a lot of goodies I've been dying to ship. #PFImage and PFFile support You've got a lot of Images and Files stored in your Parse Data Browser, but what was that file now? Now, you're able to preview any iOS supported image- and filetypes right within the app. So, no more guessing, just more access to your data. Oh, did you say you also have some files on your device you need to upload? Ok, then go ahead and upload your heart out! Take a picture with your camera and upload it! Select any image from your photo album and upload it! Or select any file from your iCloud Drive and upload it! (Yep, iCloud Documents also support Dropbox, so you're free to select any of those files as well!) If that's not mobile productivity, I don't know what is! # The Web is Full of Links I know you've got a lot of string fields that are in fact, URL fields. Now, Parse doesn't have a specific "URL" type, however, if you enter a URL in a string field, you can now follow this link directly inside the app. This makes it a LOT quicker to preview those profile Images. # iOS 8 Fixes (Like, a LOT!) A lot of improvements for the "new" iPhones, and a lot of bugs introduced in the later iOS versions. Things should be much smoother now. # Improved Help Section Sometimes, it's hard to get everything right in the beginning. I've tried to clarify from the start what kind of info you need to get from your Parse account, and why you have to enter the Class names EXACTLY as they're named in Parse. If you still encounter issues, or have problems getting it right, there's now a dedicated "Help" section for you. Here you'll find answers to the most common questions, as well as the contact info to me. It's much easier for me to help you this way, rather than reading about your issue in an angry iTunes Review :) # All the Rest Honestly, there have been a lot of things I've wanted to ship to you earlier, but time just hasen't agreed. It doesn't mean these things have been forgotten. They're coming now. Re-order your custom classes list. (Because frankly, why not?!) Improved layout. (Looks nicer when managing your data) Bug fixes (As always) ### 1.2 — 2014-09-26 The only iOS app that lets you access the Parse Data Browser just got better! User class: You asked for it - now you've got it. View all you users and their information. Set up Relations: Yes, Choose between adding One-to-many (Pointers) or Many-to-many (PFRelation) relations. For new columns you can choose any of your classes available in Parse Browser as your target class, and then select objects to relate to. Search: No need to scroll the long lists to find a specific object anymore, simply scroll up , and voila! Search your heart out! Oh, and I happened to trample on some bugs on the way out. They're all gone now :) ### 1.1 — 2014-06-03 Minor Update! Some annoying Bugs were squashed (but no animals harmed!) Parse Special Classes (User, Role, Installation, Product) cannot be added, to prevent errors. (Soon, you'll be able to add them and view them, though!) Clearer instructions regarding adding new classes. Object Pointers & Relations are displayed more neatly, but cannot be viewed yet. It's coming, though. Oh...one more thing...a simpler icon! :) ### 1.0 — 2014-04-30 No release notes. ## More apps by Carl Franzon - [Palindromare](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/palindromare/id571260054) All apps by Carl Franzon: https://appshunter.io/developer/571260057 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
