CSV Touch

This app solved a fundamental problem for me: I have a large database of movies made on Filemaker that I need to have with me all the time. So far I used to export the database to Excel or RTF files in order to open them with programs that read those filetypes such as Stanza and Filemagnet. The problem was that the opening of the file took more than 30 seconds and there was no way to sort my data. It was a very long list and I had to scroll endlessly if I wanted to get to the bottom. CSVTouch does what it promises. Exporting to CSV files and uploading it through a web site you get essentially a DB file complete with sorting and very fast operation. The file opens in less than 2 secs and it fully supports Unicode characters (like Greek text)! That's impressive and 1.59 Euro is a small price to pay for the added functionality. I wish later versions will bring even more functionality but for now I am more than happy with CSVTouch.

Great useful fast app

I just bought the app and cannot even download it to use. I sent an email and that came back too.

Importing my database of over 2400 records (with about 50 fields) was fast, flawless, and repeatable once I got the export settings right and the CSV Touch settings right. There is good information on the support site for the settings. Detection of urls, email address and phone numbers is terrific. Search is excellent. The different data "views" are well thought out. Support responded quickly to my email for help with the ftp syntax. If there was a pro version with editing and desktop/idisk/cloud syncing, I'd buy it in a New York minute.

Works great for my large csv file. I have thousands of entries and more than 20 columns. Fast, clear search with ability to reorder columns, and custom data separators. Clear and concise presentation of results. This is perfect! If i could give 10 stars i would. Love all the 'doesnt work' reviews with no detail! Silly geese!

Very easy to use for a simple movie inventory at a very low cost.

Tried opening several csv files from different apps and while the fields import fine, no data under the fields can be viewed.

I have been using this app for many years, and it is terrific for handling even very large databases. Equally important: the support is fantastic. Several times over the years I have had issues, and have always received extremely prompt, helpful advice. Most recently, Simon even helped by showing me what was wrong with my .csv database file - even though (obviously) CSV Touch wasn't remotely at fault (it was a longstanding problem with Excel). Highest recommendation.

This is a nice app, which does what it promise, once you figure out how to get the data in the right format. It needs a header line as the first line in your data file. it took me a while to figure this out, perhaps debug messages should be on by default. Also all customization needs to be done via the Settings app. Overall good, data looks nice, search is easy. Recommended.

I use this to read the CVS output from a FileMaker db while on the go.
