### "Aesthetically Appealing, Reports, Color-Coding"

April 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

The biggest thing I was really looking for in terms of MYSQL is something where I wasn't necessarily always typing into a command prompt hoping to god I don't execute something and have to deal with the mess (well, or just undo). It makes it so much easier to use this 3rd hand.

Cons

I think it's kind of a color-coded, glorified notepad that could use even more love. What I mean essentially is that it's great but I just hope the developers continue to upgrade this software.

### "Extremely accessible and friendly for all skill levels in SQL"

May 28, 2019

5.0

I love PopSQL, it's the closest software since Wagon (acquired by Box). It makes it super easy for any skill level and makes writing SQL much more approachable

Pros

Run/Write multiple queries at the same time, run a query to get some supplementary information while you are writing your main query. Helps with productivity and allows you to easily see past query results at a glance Save queries and organize them into folders!

Cons

The graphs aren't very good, you'll need data visualization software or excel/google sheets at a minimum The free version is limiting and asks you to upgrade a lot, but is sufficient for 80%+ of what you'll want to do

### "PopSQL Review"

March 22, 2019

3.0

I enjoy it; it has simplified my interaction with the server.

Pros

Connecting to the sever is one of the most convenient tasks in this app. I have used some other apps before but connecting to the server was a real headache to me.

Cons

Some SQL words sometimes miss in the suggestions. If all the SQL vocabulary is integrated in the suggestions when typing, it will be better.

5.0

Pros

I found it very useful when I was learning SQL, it is an intuitive and easy-to-use tool, and it is suitable for all levels.

Cons

The free version is limiting and asks you to update a lot, but it is enough if you don't have many needs like me who used it to learn.

### "Easy data in a record time "

May 20, 2022

4.0

Time is money because each asset's time should be used to their very potential and dedicated to priorities. Having PopSQL helped each team to get the most of our data without harassing the product team and the engineers to do something important to us but time-consuming for them.

Pros

I love the fact that we can have access so easily to data that would have taken much time to a developer or data analyst to create for us ! Once, someone from the team created a data sheet in 10mn for us to check messages and needed it badly !

Cons

Not exactly the best design but it is functional and this is what matters the most

### "Very useful to improve SQL capabilities"

November 24, 2019

5.0

After learning to be a programmer, PopSQL was the first tool I used to write queries, and I never changed to another tool. this tool really helps.

Pros

As a beginner programmer, PopSQL helps me to write or some queries very easily. Queries that I have created can be easily organized and stored in a folder that I can quickly access.

Cons

The free version is quite annoying because it always reminds you to upgrade to premium, but it's not a big problem considering the features offered.

PopSQL is a queries writing tool that is very easy to use and very easily accessed

Pros

PopSQL is a query writing tool that is very easy to use. Even though I don't know much about SQL, this tool really helped me make writing queries easier. This tool is available in a free version so that it can be accessed easily.

The free version of PopSQL has limited features and access compared to the premium version, but I think it's worth it if you need it.
