### 4/5 — Doesn’t work with special chars

*2025-12-23*

The app doesn’t work with special characters like “. It make it virtually useless if you use JSON. As the developper chose to use in-app payment instead of classic app pricing, apple refuses to acknowledge the fact that the application is not working properly and stubbornly refuses refunding. Not fair

**Developer response:** Hi jesuisjerem, thank you for the feedback.

The special character issue (including “ in JSON) has been fixed in the latest update (1.8.1) please try it now and it should work properly.
For bug reports, we have an in-app feedback section that goes directly to us so we can fix issues faster.

### 5/5 — Does the job!

*2025-06-25*

Very helpful tool for when I'm on the go.

### 1.11.0 — 2026-06-25

• Materialized views are here. Browse them alongside your tables and views, with a dedicated details panel showing columns, data, the SQL definition, indexes, and statistics (size, row count, and whether the view is populated).
  • Manage materialized views without leaving the app: create them, refresh (including concurrent refresh), edit the definition, rename, drop, add or remove indexes, and edit comments.
  • Full management for regular views too: create, edit the definition, rename, and drop — with a dedicated SQL Definition tab.
  • Export materialized view and view data to CSV.
  • Fixed DigitalOcean sign-in so connecting your cloud databases works reliably.
  • Updated underlying libraries and tooling for better stability.

### 1.10.0 — 2026-05-19

- Full hardware keyboard support in the SQL Editor. Type queries naturally on any external keyboard, use the up/down arrows to navigate autocomplete suggestions, and press Enter or Tab to insert the highlighted one.
- Smarter autocomplete: the suggestion list now updates live as you delete characters, so narrowing and widening your query is seamless.
- Updated underlying libraries for better stability and performance.

### 1.9.1 — 2026-04-08

- Language picker in Settings to switch between System, English, and Español.
