Description
Do you have a database, library or collection which you need to use on-the-go, even when you don't have web access? If you do, this is the application for you. Using CSV Lite you can easily search, sort and look through your collections when away from your computer. So start carrying your DVD and CD library, your book collection, your wine testing notes, or any other database, library or list with you!
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 import them from the local 'Files' app and all the cloud storage it supports, from attachments, directly from the internet, and other ways. And if you download the files directly from internet, it is trivial to download again in case the file has been updated (manually or at regular scheduled intervals). Once read, the app allows for highly customised ways of how to look at the data.
Note that CSV Lite does not allow editing of your database; it is intended to be a versatile app for searching and visualising your data. See http://csvtouch.wordpress.com for more information and screenshots.
Note that CSV Lite is a restricted version of the app CSV Touch, where you are limited to a maximum of 150 items shown at a time, whereas CSV Touch has no such restrictions.

Ratings and Reviews
Never got it to work
After playing around with this app for 30 minutes, I couldn't get any test CSVs (less than 75 records) to appear on my iPhone 4. I used several different applications on my iMac to create these test files. Going to look at Bento, it's a few bucks more than the full version of CSV, but has a lot more potential for carrying around lists.
Great trial
After playing with this for an hour I realized that it was exactly what I was looking for and bought the paid version. I don't know how anyone can complain about a free lite version of software, more vendors should do this. I had to spend real money on other apps just to find out that they are not what I want. Kudos to the developer! Check out the ratings and reviews of the paid app, CSV Touch. I think those reviewers understand the purpose of the app.
