Autocomplete does not work, app freezes, keyboard disappears, app resets when navigating to another app and returning to this app, causing the user to lose everything they were working on. **Developer response:** Hi, I’ve not had any other reports of this - could you email me kyle@hankinsoft.com and/or drop a line on the github issues support site? That way I can help sort this out for you. ### 5/5 — Responsive app and developer *2026-03-27* I’ve been trying out the iPad/iPhone version and love how fast it is. I can remote into my machine at work and run SSMS but this is much easier to see and work with as a native app. And of course it isn’t Microsoft that bothered to make it. I had an issue with saved servers disappearing and sent Kyle an email with a screen recording and he responded and fixed the issue THE SAME DAY. Good luck doing that with corporate support systems. Give it a try! **Developer response:** Happy to hear you are enjoying the app and always happy to help! ### 1/5 — Gotta do their 7-day free trial to use any part of it *2025-09-18, version 2025.10* Just let us test it out without having to give you our info. ### 1/5 — Can’t use *2025-01-29* Even though I’ve had a subscription for years, the app prompts me to subscribe and the results are locked. ### 3/5 — Great concept but the auto complete smothers it *2023-11-20* Fundamentally I really like the product but only on smaller Databases. When there is a large database the autocomplete function totally drags this app down to the point where its not usable. ### 1/5 — License change - no support *2023-08-28* I use this app intermittently to do quick checks on DB issues when I don’t have my laptop. I may go weeks or months without needing it, but I have the subscription auto-renew. At some point, the developer changed the subscription/license model with out notice! They continued to collect my license renewal fee under the old plan, but I can no longer use the App without a Key ( that I was never sent). There is no way I can find to contact anyone about this. I sent an email regarding the issue to both sales and support @ the devs main web address. Email did not bounce, no reply in months… ### 1/5 — Só cobranças. *2023-08-18* Péssimo, mal terminou de instalar e já vem querer cobrar 244 reais. Não dá tempo nem de olhar. Não recomendo. ### 5/5 — 退款 *2023-05-14* 不小心订阅了年度会员可以退款么 ### 3/5 — Works but VERY clumsy with predictive punctuation *2023-04-28* It works- gets you a SQL client but its got a twitchy predictive punctuation algo that keeps putting in periods when they aren’t wanted. ### 1/5 — Stop with the subscription model *2023-04-05* Enough. When will people say no to everything being a subscription? ## Frequently asked questions about SQL Server / MSSQL by SQLPro ### What does SQLPro for MSSQL do?

Large schemas no longer slow typing in the query editor. - Connection-pool teardown no longer blocks the UI while a remote database closes its socket. Disconnect and tab-close return immediately even when the database is unreachable. - Result-set sort treats signed numeric strings as NSDecimalNumber so "-100" sorts below "-50" instead of the other way around. - Fixed a crash when copying a geometry cell value. - Moved some logic that should have been on a background thread, from a foreground thread to a background thread. ### 2026.92 — 2026-05-04 - Sort order for negative numbers ([#1131](https://github.com/hankinsoft/SQLPro/issues/1131)). Sorting a column of numeric values now orders negative numbers correctly. Previously a column containing both positive and negative values could end up out of order when the database returned numeric values as strings (most commonly with Oracle). - iPad schema sidebar crash. Fixed a table-view crash when removing the last table from a database in the schema sidebar. - Large-cell tooltips. Faster scrolling and pointer-driven tooltips on result grids that contain very large string values (multi-megabyte JSON / log columns no longer cause UI hitches). - Open from Files / Share sheet. Opening a `.sql` file from the Files app or a Share-sheet provider no longer freezes the app on slow sources (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive). The file is now read on a background thread with a *Loading…* placeholder in the destination tab. ## Apps similar to SQL Server / MSSQL by SQLPro | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Ninox Database for iPhone](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ninox-database-for-iphone/id1004635818) | 4.1 (87) | Free | Business | | [EZ Database](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ez-database/id1394609108) | 3.5 (37) | Free | Business | | [ITmanager.net](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/itmanagernet/id523631652) | 4.6 (143) | Free | Business | | [Database Manager for MS Access](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/database-manager-for-ms-access/id837019622) | 2.3 (3) | $9.99 | Business | | [Ninox](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ninox/id838880711) | 4.1 (156) | Free | Business | | [Zing DataGPT: Data Viz & AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zing-datagpt-data-viz-and-ai/id1563294091) | 4.7 (11) | Free | Business | ## More apps by Hankinsoft Development Inc - [AppWage](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/appwage/id834352667) - [SQLPro for Oracle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sqlpro-for-oracle/id1078273164) - [MySQL Client by SQLPro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mysql-client-by-sqlpro/id1270754173) - [Postgres Client by SQLPro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/postgres-client-by-sqlpro/id1273366655) - [SQLPro Studio database client](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sqlpro-studio-database-client/id1273366668) All apps by Hankinsoft Development Inc: https://appshunter.io/developer/305178629 ## Related topics [sql server](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sql-server) · [sql editor pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sql-editor-pro) · [sqlpro studio database client](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sqlpro-studio-database-client) · [mdb](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/mdb) · [pillar for clients](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/pillar-for-clients) · [sql database manager db client](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sql-database-manager-db-client) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
