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. ### 1/5 — Aubert *2025-10-21* It's really inconvenient to use, and it's more like a SQL test app than a learning app for rookies. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2025-08-21* Not able to open pro even though I activated pro ### 1/5 — No use with this app. Worst experience. *2025-07-18, version 3.0.8* 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. ### 1/5 — Not at all user-friendly *2025-07-17, version 3.0.8* The command window does not accept any indentations, making the SQL syntax very rigid. Definitely requires a solid update. ### 1/5 — title *2025-03-28, version 3.0.8* What the heck is this app? It’s just a text box on a screen. The learn button like in the screenshots is absent ### 1/5 — The app can't be deleted *2024-11-05* There is no delete options **Developer response:** Hey Saga, Please let us know if there are some features you would like in our app. For uninstalling, you can press and hold the app. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-04-26, version 2.6* App does not work properly to do much in queries. This app is just a joke! ### 1/5 — Got stuck, pinwheel of death *2023-10-12, version 2.6* On my first query it got stuck, gave me the pinwheel of death. Great idea but seems to be non-functional. Note that my query had a typo ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 好用 *2024-11-26* 好 **Developer response:** 谢谢！ ### 5/5 — good app *2024-11-24* i have used it before. when i would not use web research, i used this app soon. good app. **Developer response:** We’re glad our app was that helpful for you! ### 5/5 — Best *2024-04-09* Bestest app that I find for learning and practicing **Developer response:** Vielen dank.
