Feature needed

First of all thank you very much for this amazing app!
It is very needed that when I fill in column data with foreign key type it could provide select with choices from referenced table instead of manually insert referenced data. Thank you!

Response from developer

Thank you! If a foreign key is defined then you can use a pickup panel to choose the key. In insert/edit record you can slide to the left the field to access the pickup or in grid long press the cell to access the menu edit cell. For any details please contact support form the app.

Most paywalled app

I have to pay to do anything beyond viewing the names of the tables

Great tool

A godsend for my DistroKid monthly reports since DK doesn’t do any kind of data massaging.

Opaque and NOT FREE Unable to Evaluate with Paying

You can download the app "for free" but that is laughable: you cannot possibly determine the app's value or functionality or usefulness without coughing up $10. Yes that is pretty inexpensive but it is a BAD way to offer an app when the user cannot test ANY feature or function without paying up font.

Need more instruction

I’m trying to link with my laptop and I can’t get any information

В бесплатной версии нельзя даже таблицу создать

В меню есть кнопка создать таблицу, но работает она только в про версии. Через скрипт тоже не получилось создать таблицу. Абсолютно бесполезное приложение без Про подписки.

So pretty, but EVERYTHING is paywalled!

Opened the app, opened my file, tapped on the table to view what’s in the file, boom, time to pay up

Not actually free, costs $10

While you can download the app, literally every feature is locked behind a $10 paywall.

WIDGET is cool

studying for the Applied Information Technology Engineer Examination, which is a Japanese national exam.
I found one with a fantastic feature: it can display SQL query results as a graph in a widget. This is wonderful.
It allows me to use SQL to aggregate my practice results from past exam questions and output a study log. This perfectly aligns with my personal goals and needs, and I'm finding it quite enjoyable.

Not actually free

It feels like you can’t do anything in this app without having to pay to upgrade to the pro version.

Useless

This app is useless unless you pay for it. Viewing table names/fields is the only free feature. No point on keeping it free if everything is paid bro, change your app model for a paid one, this is just frustrating.

Beyond imagination

Never thought there can be such a beautiful app for SQLite. Interface, functionality, scripts all are intuitively available in clean UI. Shortcuts actions also superbly crafted. Still exploring all actions. In short Outstanding app

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! It’s really appreciated. If you have any questions please contact the support within the app.

Great tool, foreign keys supported, shortcuts actions deperately need docs

For the newbie like I was, sqlite is designed to be serverless; i.e., its databases are in files that the app has direct access to, so its more client-file than client-server. You need only this app and some storage space that Files can access. The UI is a little convoluted but you get used to it. Foreign keys are supported if you use "pragma= foreign_keys on" (since sqlite v 3.6.19) and the proper sqlite syntax described in sqlite docs "Foreign key support" page. The Apple shortcuts actions are the primary attraction here ONCE you understand their syntax ➞ a few working examples would be worth a hundred pages of documentation and hours of trial & error!
I may give it 5 stars for functionality once I figure how to use all the actions.
I would love to see some simple but elegant configurable form styles that could be used on the iphone.

Thank you for your feedback! If you contact the support from the app you could get the help you need.

Very good tool

All I need to work with my sqlite db

Need to pay to access your files

You cannot do anything with the free version. Don't download it, it will only waste yout time.

Not Free

You cannot look any data without paying.

Great app

I find myself moving more and more info from other apps into SQLite tables and this is a great app to work with them.

I typically create the db in app the load and read data via shortcuts.

Charging for an App that was once free

You were able to access one database for free before, but now any functionality costs €7 without this being clearly communicated in the App Store. You are prompted to pay whenever you try to do anything in the app.

The “Import iCloud Database” option doesn’t work

Just goes to a blank screen

Excellent app

Just found this app. For some time I've been trying to find a suitable app to run SQLite databases on my iPad. I was using one which gave event results but did not take parameters in queries, so the search string had to be hard coded each time. This app allows the use of parameters, either with a"?" or by using the ":ParamName" method. The only shortcoming I've found is that if a parameter is used more than once, it needs to be input multiple times. (However, copy & paste makes this a minor inconvenience only).

[Update 21/Jan/2025]
The app has now been changed so that a parameter which is used more than once now only needs to be entered once. BRILLIANT !
