  1. 5/5One simple app to Declutter my life

    My life is such that I need database(s) to keep track of it all. There are several apps out there that do a fine job of doing one or two things. But I prefer a single database app that I can make my own and that can do multiple things. I use Ninox to keep track of my medical bills, books I have read, and personal/house inventory on my ipad and phone. Very easy to set up databases, easy back-up export to CSV/excel, and love the realtime icloud synch performance. A ton of functionality that I have yet to use (forms, graphing, and all the field types) despite using Ninox for well over a year now. I also like that Ninox is a fully featured app regardless of which device - can create databases on your iphone, ipad, or Mac. The Mac app supposedly synchs well with the ios versions, and there is a subscription - based team synch option. So very flexible environment to support your needs. Active development. Bottom line - this is one of those apps that I would have to replace if I ever had to leave the apple environment.

  2. 1/5I think I just got burned...

    I was very hopeful that someone finally put together a database that would just work, but while there are some advanced features for power users some very basic things are missing, making this thing absolutely useless. My biggest problem is that there isn't a way to give something multiple values - in the 'choice' field, you can pick from radio buttons, a combo box (all categories shown so you can select one), and 'switch' a scroller used to select the appropriate value. Each of these only selects one item(!) There's no way to create a list of attributes and select a few from that list. If I wanted to list something as red, striped and small, I would need three different choice fields. This is basic, rudimentary database stuff yet it's seemingly missing. Also, laying out your page is frustrating. If you want to use the 'combo box' approach, good luck - it doesn't wrap around to show all of the possible selections. If your choices take up more than one line, they are cut off. Completely useless. I've only spent ½ an hour with it and I can't get it to do a couple of very basic things. These usability issues should have come up in beta testing - I really don't like paying money to 'test' what should be a functional product. Developers, If I somehow missed how to do these simple things, please advise here in the review. If I haven't, I hope you'll get back to work and add this basic functionality into your work to make this thing actually usable.

  3. 3/5Spectacular! Most powerful, relational DB available on iPad wo/expensive subscription fees

    I dropped my rating from May 2025 by two stars due to degradation of performance in newest Ninox Versions. I am strictly a native app user on my Mac, iPad, & iPhone and using iCloud to sync between them. I’m also on latest iOS/iPadOS. A year ago, opening Ninox was nearly instantaneous, allowing access to my database list, then nearly instantaneous opening any of my databases using a single click. Database manipulation once in your DB was snappy! That’s all changed! Getting to my database list now takes nearly a minute, regardless of whether you are opening Ninox or closing one database to get to a different one. That’s like a couple of centuries of CPU time on an app that is not dependent on a WiFi connection to a server. Then after getting to my database list, opening a database often takes nearly another half a minute! I’ve asked Support to comment on this severe degradation in performance days ago and not received any explanation. Given Ninox’s blazing speed in the past and current poor performance, I’m being generous in giving the app 3/5. If you’ve the patience to wait, Ninox still works effectively, although slower. Hoping for some updates that restore Ninox’s past performance!

  4. 5/5Amazing app!

    I found that I can do some incredible things with this database application! There are not many databases that run on smart phones that are this sophisticated; perhaps this is the only one that is. I’m very impressed with how far they’ve come in the developing and enhancing of this product. It is fairly easy to learn to develop simple databases. Complex databases require much more technical understanding of database concepts and scripting, however. If you want to work with iPhones and iPads, and have your databases synchronized between the two, it will cost you nothing! The biggest downside is the weak documentation. It is improving, but still needs more information and examples for how to use the functions.

  5. 1/5Unresponsive development, incomplete or fragmented documentation.

    After spending weeks trialing Ninox across iOS and macOS, I was very hopefully for the software but you simply get zero response from support, the documentation is extremely minimal , fragmented or incomplete which makes it very hard to recommend. Their support forums are some kind of crazy mishmash of multiple bulletin platforms that were merged incorrectly which make them mostly unusable due to missing replies or dead links to other threads that no longer exist. The most hard to swallow pill is direct support: My iCloud sync was not working at all so I recached out via email to support describing the issue. I received an automated email a week later asking how satisfied I was with the support- even though no one had ever responded. That was about a month ago, still no response to address the issue. This is what happens to you as a paid customer of the max app. Aside from this there are also major bugs with iPadOS and keyboard usage - a massive area where a keyboard would be but isn’t. There are also approximately zero key commands for this software which is insane. I just cannot sink any more time into an unsupported platform and that’s really why I can’t recommend it. It’s such a shame because really like how the software functions overall and the price appears to be right. I guess you get what you pay for in relational databases.
