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'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 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.

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.

Technical response is indeed excellent, but unfortunately further development is apparently at a standstill due to lack of funds. Maybe if they charged instead of free? I'd certainly be willing to pay if they could continue work on it.

Is that true? No context menu and selecting multiple cells with click, hold, drag is not supported?

I cannot believe how fast, friendly and nonjudgmental the technical help is (believe me, I asked a very dumb question). All this and they knew I was not a paying user. They deserve to go far based on their customer responsiveness!

Inutilisable au quotidien, l'ergonomie est tellement mauvaise qu'il vaut mieux utiliser une calculette et une feuille de papier pour les besoins légers.

Great application, had been waiting for something like this for a while. The developer is also very responsive to bug reports and feature requests. A bug I reported when it was still in beta and a feature I requested were fixed and implemented within a day.

"Simple clean and elegant", this was exactly what I was looking for. I have a little CSV-spreadsheet, generated with my own app, like a log-list. Sometimes I need to have a look into that data. Yes I could use Quicklook, but thats not very elegant and impossible to edit the data. So I tried TableEdit. It opened my file without any Office nightmare and exported the edited file quickly and well back. It was just what I needed in my case, and I just did not found an comparable alternative. I recommend a try for people who need sometimes a simple and lightwight tool.

Still unusable by anyone used already a spreadsheet on a Mac of 1986 AND BEFORE! You can't add cells contents to another one by clicking on them nor drag to include more cells, JUST AS EXAMPLE. For simple uses, I already use the Google one, which has also the possibility to be 'clouded' and interact in real time with far collaborators. Such a product would be welcome it it was able to 'clone' AppleWorks, that I miss like hell!!!!!

At last! Thank you for develop a simple (and free) spreadsheet app. I only use this kind of software for very little things and I hate to open office suites to do it. Keep on the good work. :-)
P.D. I only miss to be available to Mac OS 10.6.8, because I have too an old macbook pro :)

Just try to put a '2' say… in A2 cell and a '3' in B2, Ok?
Ok, we can do it, end of the satisfactions.
Because SAY you would like to make a sum of them in C2 and you will see how frustrating it is! And IMPOSSIBLE!
You would write in C2 something like '=A2+B2', isn't it? Wrong!
Then you would like to 'add a function' like 'SUM(A2:B2)', so you click on 'fx' o the tab; a cosy huge ballon would pop up, covering your C2 cell and you can't drag it there.
So Ok, you're very patient and full of hopes: you write it by hand! Useless, it doesn't work!
Maybe you REALLY have to drag the function on the cell, so you, patient man, decide to abandon the first 11 rows covered by the ballon… Why?? Try it again and the ballon will open at the right side and not more under the 'fx' button and it would cover just the first 4 rows toll the F column included.
Don't even try to select a cell by clicking on it and do all the experiment you want; you will discover the most unpredictable chain of crazy behaviours maybe YOUR fantasy can imagine, not mine: it went by far AHEAD my most scaring nightmares!!!
Maybe I should find someone who sells LSD…

I agree with GianMarco-Tavazzani -- the Mac platform needs a fast, light spreadsheet app. This is in beta, and I haven't had a lot of experience with it yet, but I'm giving it 5 stars for concept, effort. There used to be some minimalist spreadsheet apps around, but this is the only one I've found. If you groan at the thought of opening up a simple csv file in Excel or Numbers, give this program a try.

We need badly something light, quick, for all those little daily uses when a calculator is too few, we need a simple track, an overview on few algorithms, some more variable data, clear humble calculations to follow while building up the frame of a balance. We need it simple, INTUITIVE, clear, self-explanatory, natural, APPLE!
