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 Touch 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 Touch 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 Touch 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. If you think CSV Touch might be for you but are not sure, you can try CSV Lite which is free but restricted (only 1 CSV file with 150 items). FEATURES - Download CSV files from almost anywhere - Fast search and sorting of items - Support for links in your data (click web address to open Safari, phone number to make a call, email address to open Mail) - Support for showing pictures from the web inside the application (requires internet connection) - Handles any number of files - Custom CSS support for visualising single items - Supports ",", ";", "|", space, or tab as column separator - Handles all languages, including Japanese (requires UTF8 encoding; other encodings might also work)

Convert Chinese text on iPhone and iPad, and add script conversion to your own Shortcuts workflows. OpenCCman brings local text conversion, TXT files and a native source/result workspace together. Choose Simplified Chinese, OpenCC Traditional, Taiwan Standard with Taiwan idioms, or Hong Kong Traditional. Advanced character-variant and regional wording options remain available. Simplified output is not a complete reverse conversion of Taiwan-specific vocabulary. Start with a blank draft, paste your text, or fill in an example when you need one. Compare source and result side by side or stacked on iPad. The compact iPhone Convert button leaves more room for reading. Clear Source asks before removing the current source and result. On iOS and iPadOS 16 or later, the free Convert Chinese Text action accepts text and one of four presets, then returns the result to the next Shortcuts action. Connect it to clipboard or file actions without changing an open draft. It does not use the homepage daily allowance; text input is limited to 10 MiB in UTF-8. Import or drop one UTF-8 TXT file up to 10 MiB, including files with a BOM. Copy or share the result, or export the latest successful conversion as UTF-8 TXT without a BOM. Line endings, blank lines and Unicode text are preserved. Save Big5 or GBK files as UTF-8 first. Batch files and files over 10 MiB are not supported on iPhone or iPad, including with Pro. Free users can complete 12 successful homepage conversions per day. Importing, exporting and changing presets do not count. Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase that removes the homepage limit and in-app recommendations. View purchase status or restore purchases in Settings. Powered by OpenCC, text conversion runs locally on your device. OpenCCman requires iOS or iPadOS 15 or later. Open source under the MIT license: https://github.com/gewill/OpenCCman

Verdict
