I was trying to move my “database” from spreadsheet to Wordpress and learning to use this plugin and explore the possibility. The staff provide very good support to me when I get stuck on somewhere.

Absolutely brilliant but one thing I would say is, you need to have a good working knowledge of databases and SQL to leverage the features of this program. I still have some bits and pieces to learn but WPDA has quickly taken me to a place far beyond where other plugins have failed. Easy to use and very customisable. Support for this product is superb. Quick and accurate responses. What more could you ask for?

Once you learn the process, it is easy to create a data application. I tried it for 2 weeks then bought the single license and will probably buy the life time licence. Finally, an easy tool for beginners to build and publish data applications to their websites.
