Pocket Access App Reviews

I lost my databases when I got office 365. Will this become compatible

How can they take away this important feature? Do developers even ask users before they decide to remove something? Why cant I resize column widths?

New version comes out, automatic download. Tried running it with new access files, nothing opens, it just keeps running like it is going to open a file but it does nothing. Upper left corners appears with a clock that just keep going. I am wondering if the creator of this app is going to fix this?

It was my understanding you could use with Dropbox after buying app that does not seem to be the case

Good so far, speed improved a lot, plus it doesnt seem to crash anymore.

Good for what it does. It could be better by utilizing forms.

There will always be a need or desire for more features however having my access databases available on my tablet works for me. So far no bugs, no static and it does what it says it is configured to do. It would be nice if the forms application could be configured for mobile devices. I have had no problem uploading my databases for drop box. So far smooth as a hot knife through warm butter.

This app is garbage do not waste your money on it. Looks nothing like the video or screen shots when you import your database.

Cool app

I have been using this app for years now to access my database files on my phone and it has been a life saver. Unfortunately, when I downloaded the newest version a couple weeks ago I started getting glitches and sometimes I have to restart the app 2 or 3 times to get it to open porperly. Once open it still works great, just frustrating when I have to keep restarting it. I hope the company comes up with a fix for this problem.

The only drawback is that we cant create new databases;however, that is a minor inconvenience compared to its ability to read all of my access databases. It even reads the databases I started 10 years ago, and it is a wonderful feeling to be able to take my information from the computer, modify or add information, then be able to transfer the database back to the computer without a single form, table,query, or function out of place. It is amazing and I have fallen in love with access all over again.

This application works wonderfully. It can load large databases. With a master/detail relationship established with two tables, it shows you not only the master information but the detail records as well. Just what I wanted it to do.

It is really nice to be able to read my databases on the go but not if I cant create new ones. It cant even create new tables or new columns. So any data you want to add can only be added as a new record based on what columns you already have.

I keep having difficulty with this app since updating to the latest iOS version. Loved the app prior to the update. Not able to get help from the developer.

This app has been a huge help. Its really convenient to have portability for my databases. Ive just used it for the first time since updating to iOS8 and have found that I cant switch between databases...the area where I would normally select a different database is greyed out...looking forward to a fix

So cant even install it. No reason that this should require the latest version of iOS.

I loved the old version of the app and used it everyday. With the new version and now the iOS 8 updates, the drop down date field is black and very difficult to read. After the apple update the screen clears and I have to save and go back and edit every case. I have tried researching the problem through message boards from the company, have tried contacting the developer, even tried finding and older version of IOS with no luck. When the app works it is a definite 5 star and must have. But now it does not work reliably! Please fix the bugs!!!

Displays my tables as needed. I dont have any forms, but this displays any line just the way I need to see it - in the table or as one "page". Unfortunately, my queries didnt work, but it was easy enough to recreate the few that I use.

My view may be a little more discriminating. I am a 26 year veteran in database programming. Ive hesitated downloading this for the pass few years because of the price. But finally decided to try it, not able to find something for my book collection db. This program functions well, but is definitely a no frills version, in spite of the price. I would like it to handle my menus or allow me to create and save my own. Could not get it to work with Dropbox, but was able to open my db from email. Hopefully future upgrades will offer more.

The implication in the various descriptions, both here and on their web site are that you will be able to sync this with the Access database on your desktop. I was really suspicious about the lack of detail, but finally pulled the trigger when I saw discussion in the reviews about accessing your databases from Dropbox. That would be fine, and I can visualize how that would work, so I bought it and only then discovered that the access via Dropbox is one way only. You can import an Access db from Dropbox, but it wont save any changes you make back to the original (without going through a manual iTunes sync export sort of deal). That is completely worthless. I dont need a viewer, I need to be able to update a field while away, then walk back to my desk and have the changes reflected there.
