Broken

Just downloaded and it was already messed up to where you couldn’t see each item (there were smushed together).

Broken & Unusable

This app is broken right from the start. I opened it for the first time and it gave me syntax errors before I even typed a single line. The query box does not clear and the app shows errors near SELECT even when the query is correct. This makes the tutorial impossible to use. If an SQL learning app cannot run the most basic SELECT statement on first launch then it is not worth the time. I deleted the app within minutes.

Aubert

It's really inconvenient to use, and it's more like a SQL test app than a learning app for rookies.

Worst app

Not able to open pro even though I activated pro

No use with this app. Worst experience.

You don't need to use this app. It was the worst experience, and it's not worth the money. I hope they will hire someone good at iOS app development.
