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. 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)

Includes a Slide show option and export to Files. Transfer your photos and videos directly to your PC. With this application you can search for Photos taken between dates or at your favourite spot. With the versatile filter configuration you can search on type, date, location or even filename. You can upload everything or just what is missing. With over 40 different filter types you can be quite picky!! The application supports a Step-By-Stepî mode to walk you through configuring server and filter definitions. It also allows you to access all the parameters of the filter and host definition in a simple edit page for host or filter. With this application and our myInotes application which contains an FTP Server you can transfer your photos and videos from iPhone to iPad. The app will sit happily in the background while you do something else and resume transferring your photos and videos when you return to it. Once you have created and used a host and filter combination it is saved so you can access it quickly and you can start a transfer with just two taps. While transferring to an FTP server two progress bars are displayed, one for overall progress and one for individual file progress. We recommend FileZilla as an FTP server, available from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=server
