Mdb Explorer App Reviews

Helps me in my daily routine, rather powerful tool for any database type. Nice idea & implementation.

Rather user friendly app with easy to navigate menu and app features, doest take much space and works good

Good MDB file viewer app at a good price. Helps me in my work a lot as I have access to several databases that increases my productiviy level.

I would suggest this app for all people involved into the database managment as this app solves many problems like access to multiple database and fast works process organization

Pretty much useful tool for all database admins, love the flexibility app offers, cute design and responsive menu.

Can't open anything!

I downloaded this to convert an MDB file to SQL, in order to import it into a SQL Server instance. The interface was good and the export was a seamless affair; it was quick and easy. Until I attempted to run the exported SQL script on SQL Server 2012. There were a lot of syntax issues with unique indices (I had to remove the schema definitions by hand), and the SQL generated for foreign keys doesn’t work well. It’s possible that some of the foreign key isues are due to the way that the Access database was set up, but I’m having to edit the SQL by hand to make this work correctly. Of note: if you have an Access database that uses the “varbinary” type, and you export as MSSQL, the syntax will be incorrect; it uses the MySQL variant for the value insert (ex: x’589cf’) instead of the MSSQL hexadecimal syntax (ex: 0x589cf) so you’ll have to do a find and replace. Overall, it’s not bad, compared to a lot of the alternatives, but just be aware that it requires tweaking.

Before finding this app, opening a MDB files in Mac can be a nightmare. Now, with this app, it saves a lot of my time when I need to view a MDB files in my macbook. It also offer plenty of export options so I can export it to other file formats. With its clean and easy-to-understand interface, you don't need any time to learn how to use this app, all you have to do is to download this app, then open it, and it does all you want it to. Recommended!

Description of app doesn’t make buyer aware of in-app purchases to actually use this product. You would have to create an MDB file from Access to use this (If you could that on your mac you wouldn’t need this App to begin with!)

I have used this to open and convert a fairly large Access db, the first version would crash when I tried to click on column heads, I wrote to these guys and within 2 days that had fixed the problem, notified me, and posted an update, to me that is paying attention to your customers. Nice Job

Pretty nice app, works as advertised and has very clear menu and app structure.

Simple and clean interface to open access without using Windows. And can export to CSV, XML and even Excel. It's really worth to pay $5 for it.

When attempting to open a .mdb file, the app automatically closes/crashes. Tried several times to reopen the file, and tried on a different Macintosh computer but the app still did not work. Customer support has not responded in nearly 1 week.

Love this app as it helps me a lot, highly recomed it to all people involved into database management.

Very useful app with rich variety of features, works as advertised and no bugs which is really important.

I bought it. And then realized that I hadn't read the fine print in the description under "What's New." They added an "in-app purchase" as if it were a feature and I had to pay an additional 5$ to get this tool, which advertises itself as "an easy way to view MDB files without an Access license," to open an Access db. Once open, I couldn't edit the data. Fair enough I guess. I then tried to export it as SQLite and the tool crashed (every time I tried it, it wasn't a fluke). Same with SQL, only I got an error not a crash. Same with CSV. What the heck? This thing doesn't do ANYTHING it says it will do. And my db only had a few tables/records in it with very little complexity. (I created it in 10 minutes just to test the tool.) I want my $ back.

This app turns my work into a pleasant experience and it helps me a lot as well. Designed with ease of use in mind.

This app is really great as it has so many helpful options and it supports lots of formats which is great.

I was in a search of such app that give you acces to various database types. Works good and dont have any problems with it

I used the demo, and now the paid version. It worked great.

I opened various database types and app works good, I like that app helps support export in many formats.

Don’t waste your money. Can open files but the filter function is useless. Crashes every time I use it. I have to find a new app. I want my money back!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to open various mdb files on two separate systems with 0S x 10.9.1. The files varied in age and size from 2mb to 1.3 gb. No matter the system or the size of the file, the app just keeps crashing. As it stands the app is completely useless. all files open fine on MS Access 2010 and contain data. I submitted crash reports and waiting to hear back. Until then, i wouldn’t spend money this software. !!!!UPDATE!!!!! Had some contact with the devs, and the latest upgrade to version 2.2 solved all problems. Blazing fast, great software. Much appreciated

I use it to open and export tables from MDB files and it works perfect. Is so easy to use. I recommend it.

I just want to open an access db&form but it runs out that paying $10 for this program does not give you that ability; you have to pay another $10 to open a file. Instead of doing that I will go compile the mdbtools off of github. Ugh, why would someone do this.

This little tool works exactly as described, with a clean and intuitive interface.

I used to love this app because I used it to convert from Access to SQLite. In a recent update they made Access DB format an additional $5.00. I purchased this app once, I won’t purchase it again for a feature I “bought” the first time around.

it won't even open a file. don't waste your money.

I found this app by searching for something to open extension accdb. Then when I try to look at that file, it comes up with an in-app purchase thing saying that it can't open that file, but you can buy this other thing to open it. That is BAD and deceptive.
