### 1/5 — Virus

*2026-07-02*

Nunca peguei virus no meu servidor em 3 anos, apos instalar esse app e ainda pagar. Por muita coincidência apareceu virus no outro dia.

### 1/5 — grátis, confia

*2026-05-06*

para respirar dentro do app pague o pro.

### 5/5 — Best PostgreSQL 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.

### 1/5 — Pay for Everything but list it as Free

*2026-03-24*

Your current setup makes it impossible to properly evaluate your product.

After setting up the database, the expectation is to review the available features and assess whether the tool is worth the investment. Instead, everything is locked behind a one-time payment, leaving no real opportunity to test its capabilities.

If potential customers are treated this way before they can even determine whether the product delivers value, it significantly damages trust.

As a result, I’ve decided to discontinue using your product and will not consider your company for anything moving forward.

### 2/5 — Good potential

*2026-01-06*

Great so far but a little buggy. For example, it’s impossible to create a chart. It just resets all fields when you finish anything.

Edit: losing another start (3 to 2). Now it’s not connecting at all. I didn’t make any changes, the connection just errors now where other apps with the same login info work fine. I have to delete but would love to come back if it becomes more reliable.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you are having issues with the connection. If you contact the support within the app we may try to assist you.

### 1/5 — No access to table/functions, just says info about connection

*2025-11-29, version 44.0*

No access to table/functions, just says info about connection

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-11-13*

Poses as a free app when all that allows you to do is connect to a database. If you want to query anything, you need to pay.

### 1/5 — Nothing free

*2025-10-13*

Have better options

### 2/5 — Not free features

*2025-09-26, version 43.1*

Should be more clear there are no free options

### 5/5 — Simples e direto

*2025-08-14*

Funciona que uma beleza dev
