TableEdit pour Mac

I'm revising my rating. In the latest version you can no longer check for app updates but instead you are told: "Sorry the update check in TableEdit has been removed. Please use our 'MacUpdater' to keep TableEdit and all your other apps up-to-date." Umm, no thanks. I'd rather delete TableEdit and look for another app.

I'm happy to say this isn't Excel. The speed and simplicity of this is remarkable. No, it doesn't do everything Excel does but for a lot of my needs this is just the ticket.

I find that iWork - or at least Numbers - has a tendency to bog down my machine on High Sierra. This is true whether I use Numbers from iWork 09 or the current version. I was getting tired of that and sought some alternative. My needs are pretty basic, so I can't speak to those who need sophisticated spreadsheet programs. TableEdit might well meet those needs, and other have mentioned here already that it can do various types of functions. There are features I haven't tried, such as charts, that I haven't played with because those aren't something I use. I'm sure there are reviews online that go through these matters in more detail. There are some limits to it, at least at this time. For instance, I can't just drag across cells to select them. I have to use the shift key as part of the selection process. I also can't right click on a cell and have a popup of options. I either use keyboard shortcuts or the toolbar. Nonetheless, those are minor issues for me compared to the speed, low memory footprint, and overall responsiveness of the program. It does what I need without all the bloated feeling of Numbers, Excel, etc. The price is also reasonable. Also, their customer service is good. This version (1.4.1) has some features I requested. They did that in about 2 weeks time. I don't know if that's their norm, but I appreciate that they listened to what I said, responded to me quickly, and implemented what I needed promptly. I think they're a company that wants to grow and is quite willing to work with their clients.

Sadly no more 10.9 support. I liked this app

I love this. There are one or two little quirks. (I noticed the word 'todo' came up when I tried to do a particular thing, so if the developer is able to spend the time then there are obviously some improvements that could be made). But all II wanted was a very simple, very quick-to-launch spreadsheet for times when I merely need to maintain a tabular list, and that's exactly what it does. It's quick and clean if you just want to enter text. Having said that, it does also handle common functions and so its usefulness does extend to more complex tasks if you can live with a few little frustrations and limitations. I don't know when I'll next need to open Numbers or Excel.
