Pocket Access App Reviews

Not great but it gets the job done.

All of the customer info I need is quickly accessible.

Very easy to download from Dropbox and work on a Database. But when you are finished, you cant upload it back to Dropbox for others to use. I cant understand why this doesnt work, the export function offers the choice to open in Dropbox, but when you select that -- nothing happens. I keep expecting an improvement, but I have yet to see an update to this app. Is nobody working on it anymore?

On a multiple table database, only part of the tables transfer to the iPad and iPhone.

The app is very slow at times, and the lookup of related fields are missing. Should have been pointed out before my purchase. Especially since it doesnt have the forms!

This is almost useable for me. Maybe Im doing something wrong, but I cannot update data using a query (and there is a a primary key on the underlying table). Table records will update, but I want to be able to sort on multiple columns to easily scroll to records (or use a filtered query). So would only be useful on small tables. I agree with the earlier commenter - please let us know if youre still working on this - last upgrade a year ago? Of course, I would love to have forms and other logic translate too, but being able to update from a simple query would make it at least useable for me. I havent been able to connect to your web site either. Please dont abandon the app!

This app has a lot of promise but there have been no updates or communication in quite some time. The promise of this app is that it is the only one I can find to allow me to work on the road with my data. The frustration is that is is quickly becoming antiquated. Using iTunes is not a great method to transfer files. The inability to edit data in my queries is a frustration. The lack of forms is a frustration. The difficulty is resizing columns is a frustration. The lack of communication is a frustration. Is this app still being supported? When is the next release coming out? What will be in the next release?

Table = %50 for read Qeury = %50 for read Form = 0 Report = 0

This was not clear when I skimmed through the description and reviews. I only wanted an app that is can create a database on my iPad and possible later transfer to a computer. My Mac does not have Access and my work computer no longer has Access. I would have to fire up my 10 year old plus home computer to first create a database, then transfer. I would want to modify and fine tune the database on the iPad until I am ready to load data into it. I want my money back!

Down loaded my Access 2010 database into this app. the only thing I can open are the tables, all of the queries fail to open. All I get is an error window stating that it failed to open. Support for this app Is zero. This app needs to be remove from app store, a waste of $10.

Disappointed. About the only thing it does well is display my data table. Unable to perform some of my queries (records Between 2 dates). Can not display reports.

For all those of us who need a portable database of the ones used at work, is a smooth and great tool!! Thanks.

I lost two days of documentation after the app would not upload through iTunes to drop box. I, eventually, also lost the information in the app. This app still needs some work to be a dependable tool!

A necessity when you need a portable database for your Access files, BUT it needs to support queries and forms created on the PC

Great if u dont want to see reports, queries or forms. Otherwise useless. PLEASE READ THE 5 star reviews carefully. There is a pattern of choppy repetitive somewhat broken English. This is obviously from the folks who made this useless app. Ripoff, sadly an expensive ripoff.

This only a viewer. Worthless

Oh. My. God. I am flabbergasted at how easy and functional this app is. 1st of all, transferring my database to both iPhone and iPad were an absolute breeze. Took no time at all. But when I opened up the program on my ipad mini, I almost cried when I realized how much easier my life would become. My table has so many fields that I was always scrolling sideways to view them. And I hadnt bothered creating a form because it was too much of a learning curve after having used the Microsoft Works database all these years. I only switched to Access so that I could get a compatible mobile app. Well, when I opened this app on my tablet after transferring my database, I was very pleased to see all my info neatly laid out. I hadnt even read any instructions, just clicked on a record almost by accident. And a beautiful vertical form popped up that will be so easy to fill in as Im getting the information over the phone. I am delirious with happiness. Having constant access to my information from anywhere and being able to enter new information so easily is literally life changing for me. Thank you, Impathic.

Great app, good integration using Dropbox. It would be even better having been able to create custom forms for iPad and iPhone.

The fact that you cant use forms or reports is frustrating. The queries do not calculate correctly on some fields. The relationships do not line up on some. It is fine for basic databases but gets hung up on more complex ones. Still, it is the best I have found for mobile MS Access use.

First, app is nice to be able to access database for quick reference ONLY. HOWEVER, numbers are coming up incorrect. I have a calculated column that is meant for Sales Commissions expressed in percent (%) 2 decimal values, original database would be, for example 10% or 2.9%, in the app its 100 or 29. So for my Net column, in this app I have all deficit numbers because it is calculating in whole numbers rather than the percent values originally put in. Second, queries here does not read basic criteria such as "1/*/2013", so my queries cannot be opened... This needs some improvement, BIG TIME. Or it isnt worth $10 to get unreliable source!! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!
