So this is my code for the place where you add the profiles (data): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/5/25bcb9b050d3e4cab296f7df6790cd31fe13fdf7.png) And this is the place where you see the data: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/c/1cae5c5ee81d6e0d19ecc5b35df00e3ef8253a38.png) This is the page where the data come from: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/d/4d2df7f1aa31ba769a5e8e926d0180197aadfed2.png) Thanks!

Hey @blast24blast46ydf, welcome to the Community šŸ‘‹ [object Object] appears because youā€™re trying to display an object with children (objects in objects). You must use the `get property of object` block as shown by @KirkVanHouten. * * * Also, your key does not contain a forward slash to indicate a path in the Firebase Database. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/5/e53d199a166e40195d95f612dc017ad2030dc2be.png) You must join a ā€œ **/** ā€ (forward-slash) between `users` & `app Profile`. Your Join block would look like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/b/fb2c6857d130024f06a2f7d9badbfe4ba9ec0c83.png) Also note that Iā€™ve used the `on screenName Opens` block. This means every time the screen opens your code will execute. `on Screen Starts` may pose an issue. * * * The `if value != null` statement shouldnā€™t be necessary as a user should not be able to access their profile page without an account anyway, though if you wish to have this fail safe you may. You should have an `if` statement that checks if itā€™s not an error, and that should look like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/a/9a818b4f2dc3cb8659cde455e91331d3e1dc705b.png) Check out [this post](http://community.thunkable.com/t/project-bucket-option-in-ios/31957) for great information on using objects in your app. * * * You appear to be saving data correctly, so that shouldnā€™t be an issue. When testing if your app works with your database, have the database web portal open in another tab and check it when you change data to see if everything works as should. I think Iā€™ve covered a few tiny problems there, hopefully I havenā€™t missed anything šŸ™‚ ---

Can you show a picture of your database which is populated with some example data so I can understand the structure. ---
