Ratings and reviews

This apps UI is very good. The problem is that there is a bug where the app keeps crashing when trying to both search and also add text to an entry. Or cancelling text and then editing another cell causes a crash too. I thought it had to do with the number of entries but on my small table with less than 10 entries this happens. The workaround is after doing a search, change the phone orientation, and then it won't crash upon clicking a cell.

super incredible! honestly, it's so easy to use. I wanted to switch from excel because of how hard it is to search my spreadsheet for info. this app imported 2109 lines successfully and now I have it all, can search with ease. copy and pasting rows from one table to the next, needed this feature too, and it's here. I can't believe it!!! Thank you!!!!

After reviewing I am pleasantly surprised, with a few glitches and a short wishlist. The app is simple to use and allows limited database functions. Editing on column types is simple to non-existent - using a column type 'PHONE' allows any characters displayed on a numeric keypad. I could enter "*0#(),;-+/N/" for a phone number. Wishlist: I would like to copy columns, total numeric columns, have a fixed footer row for totals. Which I believe would conform to a simple DB definition.
