MDB Explorer - Access Viewer, read and export Access files App Reviews

This app works just as you want it to work. And I have to congratulate the developer for its reactivity: I had found a minor bug. The first day, I sent a mail to the developer The first day, the developer requested me to explain The next day, I sent more precisions The same next day, the app was fixed. Impressive eh ?

I’m trying to open MDB files, but the app crashs right after the open procedure. I’ve tried in different macs and different files. Having bought ACCDB module as well… Please, fix this new update as soon as possible….. then i will make a new review… Thanks

If you work with many different databases and have to view and export MDB files, this is exactly what you search. This is not an Access replacement. Its a viewer and as this it makes my daily business a bit more easy.

I was just trying to import an *.mdb data base from an old Microsoft Access on an Windows XP machine. Tried several tools (e.g. Actual ODBC Driver for Access, MDB Tool - For Microsoft Access etc.) but did nor really work fine. Either the library files are not created, system chrashes with empty tables in the mdb or just one export file format (e.g. *.csv) is provided. As I use R, Excel, QGIS, mySQL and other statistic tools, I am very happy for this solution presented here. To sum up; it simply works! Furthermore, the design and view-option uncluding the export variability ... simply perfect ! I am happy I gave this one a try; however; I wouldn`t have done so with a price of > 5.00 $. Hence, simply keep the price below 5 bugs !! The letter is why I wrote these lines ... thx, guys. Sascha

The tool either crashes or it is not able to open the MDB file. Since i bought it i only had one database that could be opened by MDB Explorer

Exacly what I needed!!!!!! Works fast and simple!

I was impressed - the table was exported to my preferred file type in just a few minutes.

Program purchased DOES NOT OPEN MDB files! It forces you to buy an upgrade saying that ACCDB file format support has not been unlocked, even when trying to open a .mdb file. What complete crap!

I have been using a MDB file reluctantly on a PC with Access and wanted to open and run the MDB file on my MAC. Searched for an App to do this and purchased MDB Explorer. However it did not open and run the file. So this is not a substitute for Access on a PC, from my experience.

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

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

it wont even open a file. dont waste your money.

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 dont 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!

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

Cant open anything!

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

I bought it. And then realized that I hadnt read the fine print in the description under "Whats 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 couldnt 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 wasnt a fluke). Same with SQL, only I got an error not a crash. Same with CSV. What the heck? This thing doesnt 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.

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

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 cant open that file, but you can buy this other thing to open it. That is BAD and deceptive.

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.
