Useless without payment. Not free.

Has zero functionality without paying $60/yr. should not be listed with free apps.
False advertising; should be categorized as non-free app

Whether or not the description in the app store indicates that a purchase is required to see the results set, this app is clearly NOT free and such a statement is unethical and deceptive, at best.
Falsely stating that the app is "free" causes the app to be shown when a search for free apps is made.
It is free to the same degree that a solitaire game app that displays the cards, but, for a small fee, allows the player to actually move them, is free.
It fails essentially of its purpose as a free app. It is useless unless a purchase is made. Therefore, it is a payment-required app and advertising it as anything else is a lie.
What happened???

2 months ago this product was rock solid. Now, i get a spam asking me to buy a year subscription every time i open it (even though I already pay monthly). And now, when I try to open an SSH connection, the app just closes. Ugh.

The app requires a purchase to view and interact. So it is useless without an expensive payment. $59.00 it prompted me.
Useless

If your free app is useless, don’t make it free, not being able to see the results of a query is an insult for those who are trying it. At least make a temporal window for usage or something
Useless without pro,the app is just advertisement.

This application is just an AD if you did not purchase the pro version. You cannot view results.
Well-made but security absent and limited functionality

Well-made and if this was the iPad version of SQL Workbench would be worth the money. But it isn’t a fraction of that functionality. Most importantly, it has critical security limitations that really mean no one would be advised to use it: Appears no way to load the SSL cert for MySQL connections. You have to use an ssh tunnel instead to get any security for the plain text connections. Still, great potential/foundation if the developers fleshed out the basic functionality.
Excellent!

Was super happy to see this in the App Store and once SSH tunneling via private key was added it’s made being able to leave my laptop home and just carry my iPad on short trips finally a reality. Developer is super responsive and quick to fix and add features. Follows iPad best practices including keyboard shortcuts and split screen. Super excited to see this mature further. This is the one to beat!
Great app, couple of suggestions...

I like this app. Thank you for developing it.
The 2 suggestions I have are:
- SSH keys (new server requires them, so I’m
In a bind).
- A refresh icon or something on the messages tab to re-run the query and refresh, rather than having to go back to the editor again and click run (unless I’m missing something).
Thank you
Really Useful!

I’m so happy I found this app. I use Panic’s Coda and Prompt for doing quick website updates while on the go, and I’ve always been frustrated that updating anything in my databases required typing out the queries by hand. This makes it so much easier, and even more surprising it’s actually well designed and pleasant to use. Worth trying out since it’s free, and I’ll bet you’ll spring for the annual subscription as well.
The developer also seems very active and responsive to requests. I had a feature request that I really needed for the app to be useful to me, so I reached out to him on Twitter. And he updated the app with the feature just a few days later. Great customer support! Thanks for a great app!
