CSV Lite works by reading CSV files, a file format which almost all databases and applications like Excel, Filemaker, Access, Bento and others can export to. To get the CSV files on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, you can download the files the standard way using iTunes. In addition, you can also download CSV files directly from the web (e.g. MobileMe) or from FTP server; if you do this, it is a simple click of a button to update the file when there is a new version available on the server.

Note that CSV Lite does not allow editing of your database. See http://www.ozymandias.se for more information and screenshots. CSV Lite is free but restricted (only 1 CSV file with 150 items); buy CSV Touch if you need to be able to use more files and/or items.

App, doesn't even work....at all. A 1-Star rating, is quite generous.


Couldn't read my CSV file

Couldn't read my CSV file. I exported a file from FileMaker Pro, imported it into this app, and this app showed it as a completely blank file.


Easy, light weight, want to freeze top row

This is almost exactly what I am looking for. It read my csv database without issue. I have about 30 people in the database. Each person has nearly 200 attributes. All thecdata is presented cleanly and is simple to access. I can easily move from one set of data to the next -- one person to the next. But what I need is for the first item (the name) to be optionally frozen and displayed at all times. I want to, for example, look at data item 123 then quickly slide to the next person to view item 123. And so on for each person. I don't want to keep scrolling up to the top to find out which person this record belongs to. If I could freeze the first row then I'd give this 5 stars.


Would not open

After downloading and going through the directions, the App did not work. I tried several times without success. I have an iPad with plenty of storage.
