Review summary

Reviews show a mixed reception. The app is praised for being useful on rooted devices and for basic SQLite editing, and several users point out long-term usefulness. It also gets a nod for its built-in file-explorer features and for not generating Android metadata folders. However, many users report core drawbacks: it requires root to function (and root access can fail); it cannot browse SD cards or open databases from other apps; the UI is cramped and editing capabilities are limited; and there are stability bugs like crashes and null-array errors.

Pros

Useful for rooted devices to read/edit SQLite databases and generally works as intended.
Long-term usefulness; users have kept using it for years and still find it valuable.
Includes built-in/file-explorer features (internal file explorer and app explorer) for accessing databases.
Does not generate Android metadata folders, keeping storage cleaner.

Cons

Requires root; not usable on non-root devices and root access can fail.
Cannot browse SD cards or open databases from other apps; limited to app directories.
Poor UI/UX: tiny text, hard to refresh, single object view, and limited editing (no easy create/modify tables).
Stability issues and bugs: crashes (e.g., removing recent entries) and errors like 'length of null array'.

2026-03-04	Ph*****	I wanted to use this to read and/or edit the SQLite (sqlite3) databases of some apps accessed through the app data directory from App Manager, but this app doesn't offer itself as a destination to open the databases in. Meanwhile, when trying to access the database from the app itself, I noticed that many of my apps are missing, despite having root access with KSU.

2025-05-24	Jo*****	Displays all objects in the database as a single list; a better approach would be to have a selector at the top to show only tables, views, triggers etc. In a view, dark mode is more or less pointless, as the data is shown using a light theme. Additionally, the app always shows "new record" for views, regardless if they have an edit trigger defined or not. I like the UX direction, but it still needs more polish to be a generic, but full-featured, sqlite editor.
