Perfect compliment to Access on your home PC.

I have been using this app for about six months now. Originally, I experienced the frustrations that many here who have poorly reviewed this app had. Namely, I had an existing Access database, and I expected it to run the same on my iPhone as on my PC. It doesnt.

But when you think about what youd need to carry your database around on your phone for, and then adjust your use of this app to that, it actually works perfectly.

I created a second database from my original one containing nothing but the tables and a few queries. This is much smaller and emails back and forth much more easily. Then, once a week or so, I can import the tables back into the original database, and use the power built into it for analysis and reporting. The two complement each other perfectly.

I do wish there were more robust support for queries in the app. And I took a hard stumble on the inflexible way that the app handles dates (as datetime, ugh!), which required some modifications to my SQL on my main system.

My husband, who isnt usually into such things, insisted I make a database for his business, once he saw how easily he could use his phone to keep track of his jobs, expenses and contact info. Hes thrilled with it, and uses it easily, despite often having trouble with this sort of thing.

I look forward to watching this terrific app evolve.
