I never saw much of a reason for SQLite either until I started doing mobile development. However, it's nearly a must for doing any sort of intensive storage though with Android or iOS (unless use cases are simple enough for XML and JSON). I just wish doing asynchronous queries with SQLite on Android was not so obtuse and resulted in a bunch of boilerplate or using third party libraries for a core part of the API.

Have to agree the problem with SQLite isn't SQLite it's the generally terrible wrappers companies put around it. On both iOS and Android the default ones are terrible. And even many third party ones aren't the best.

  On Android at least, I try to use loaderex[1] whenever possible, but it has some limitations. Best third party solution I've found so far. I was kind of fishing for someone to give some alternatives for Android and iOS, but seems like we're all kind of just in a rut :/ [1] https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-loaderex https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-loaderex
