Crashes on large databases
Tried to import a 1.2gb database. Program crashes when selecting the largest table within it. Program crashes when trying to export it to another format. What does it do well? Your guess is as good as mine...
DON’T WASTE YOUR 5.99
I purchased this app looking to convert a simple .MDB into SQLite to do away with an unsupported MS Access application. However, I can’t get the app to launch. If you have a recent OSX install 10.10 or higher - DO NOT BUY THIS APP - it will not run. Developer - according to your review, it looks like at one point, this application did what it is advertised to do. However, this is no longer that case. Apple - rather than create sublte nuances of whicha apps should and should not be on the store - how about checking apps that are on the store that NO LONGER FUNCTION. While I only spent $5.99 on this software, the frustration of purchasing something that is worthless is immeasurable and discounts your platform as well as your management practices governing store operations. Both of you need to address this…...
Nice app, but needs sorting and find features...
I needed an app that would allow me to view my Access Databases on my Mac. This app does exactly that and has helped me achieve my needs. Only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is that I wish that I could sort the columns or use the find feature. In my case, the find will not work (the are in the menus, but grayed out). Clicking on the column headers does nothing to sort the data in the columns. It would be nice to see these features in an update. Thanks!
Works Perfectly
The App does exaclty what it says it does. It was fast and efficient - I definately recomend it.
Didn't work and no onscreen info
I purchased this app looking for a cheaper solution to extracting my Access files to import them to another program. The app "opened" my files, showing that there was a little less than 1K lines, but didn't show me any data. After trying to click the file, app crashed…7 times. Not only does it not work, but there is no on-screen directions letting you know if it is loading or doing anything - a status bar is needed, if it really does work.
Does not work
Didn't read even the tables on a small file. DO NOT BUY!!!
Works well
I needed to open an old mdb file. Its been forever since I've used windows. This worked for me!
