MySQL Client by SQLPro

I paid for a lifetime subscription a few years back, but they changed their pricing model out of the blue and I had to start paying monthly/annually. Did that for a while, until recently. Hard to justify paying so much for a MySQL app..

Very nice and good to

Has zero functionality without paying $60/yr. should not be listed with free apps.

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.

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.

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

This application is just an AD if you did not purchase the pro version. You cannot view results.

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.

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!
