### 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.

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — asked me three times in a row to give a rating, here you go

*2025-02-22*

asked me three times in a row to give a rating, here you go

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback

### 1/5 — Connection lost immediately after switching to a different app

*2024-03-12*

The app loses connection when I switch to notes or something to copy over some text. The results page cannot be rebooted or closed and the reconnecting process hangs up. So I have to logout from the server and start over.

Is this a bug?

### 1/5 — can‘t connect

*2019-06-06*

SASL authentication not working.
Message is: 08P01

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. It's actually due to the new "SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS" of PostgreSQL 11. Fix is out, just update.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Helpful app

*2024-09-23*

**Developer response:** When inserting a new row, just long press on the field to get set UUID options.

### 5/5 — Perfekte App zum Entwickeln auf dem iPad

*2024-08-24*

Perfekte App für den Zugriff auf PostgreSQL Datenbanken und zum Testen und Entwickeln auf dem iPad. Momentan keine bessere und umfangreichere App im Store erhältlich. 

Ganz großes Lob an die Entwickler dieser intuitiven App!

Très bon client PostgreSQL, l’interface est très bien pensé.
