SQL Server / MSSQL by SQLPro
Ratings & Reviews
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 ResponseHappy to hear you are enjoying the app and always happy to help!
I have been using iPads almost since the first one came out and never found a database client that worked well for me (been through numerous ones trying over the years) till now. Before had to pull out my laptop to do anything, now for most stuff I easily work on things from the iPad.Only infinitesimal issue I have is wish it had better options for execution plans since I need to optimize queries a lot, but that may not even be possible. Just so happy to have a client that works.
It works well. I can connect to all my SQL Server servers using windows authentication & named instances, view tables, write and run queries, etc. The interface takes some getting used to, but I understand the challenge of squeezing at least the basic functionality of SSMS into a touch interface. 9.99/year is a very fair price, especially since you can use the basics for free.I’ve seen some sluggish performance, and auto-complete seems clunky at best (are these two connected, at least for me)? But it’s awfully nice to have a tool this good available on iOS.
Developer ResponseHi! I just wanted to take a second and thank you for the review. I also wanted to check in on the autocomplete to try and get a few more details. If you get the chance, please email me directly via kyle @ hankinsoft.com. If possible, I would like to know if you are using iPhone or iPad and if you could expand on what you are seeing/what I could improve so that I can make some changes to it. Thanks again!
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…
I’ve been using this in macOS for a long time and am stoked to finally see it in iOS! Having this on my iPad means a significant portion of my work can be done natively while mobile rather than having to log in to a remote workstation. Very highly recommend! Also, the developer is very responsive and helpful any time I came across an issue he would help me troubleshoot the problem to resolution.
I’ve long been a fan of this same app on MacOS. Its great to see an iOS version. This last release included an export of the entire result set which is infinitely better than manually selecting rows to export. Its nice that one connection is supported for free and multiple connections require an upgrade which is fair. However, I do feel the upgrade price is steep. Perhaps a tiered approach would be possible.
