A fantastic app, thank you

I used this app to instantly view and search information from a database of 22000+ entries, at lightning fast speed. Thoroughly recommended.

Still the best CSV reader

I've been using it for years. I love the way the search function displays only the lines that fit the criteria. And instantaneously too.

Fastest search I've seen

No matter how big the file I throw at it, search is instantaneous. Loading is also lightning fast. I've been using it for years, big part of my workflow. Thanks!

This software is fantastic

I’m not kidding. I export a database with thousands of entries from sql to excel, format it how I like, then export it as CSV, and if I’m out and about and need to look something up, I can using CSV Touch, with lightning speed, saving me from endless tedium trying to do it online. Very convenient. Thank you so much for writing it. Please keep it going. It’s perfect.
