I use this app as my daily & weekly schedule planner (things that I want to stay the same, but that I don't want in my DateBk5). It takes a little while to get it all figured out, but the time spent is well worth it! And if you can find a copy of LookAtMe, like I did, you can have this app (or any app) pop up at any time of the night or day as a reminder. Oh, I'm using it on a Zire 72.

Appears perfect for my needs as a table editor. I am having difficulty locating a "Main Menu" on mine, however, which currently limits me to just one table at a time. I have emailed the developer, though, and hopefully it's something I'm just missing that's obvious. Otherwise, this meets my definition of an excellent palm program--useful, fits a specific need, and is not bloated.

Very Good as far as Basic Spreadsheets are concerned. Would have been really good had calculations been incorporated, at least the basic ones.

This is the best 'Grid' program that I have ever seen. Would be nice to select multiple cells and format them, because, it is very time consuming to edit each one individualy.

In response to the previous review : Instead of giving this program the poorest rating available, maybe you should contact the developer and explain the bug you have. To date you're the only one to experience this bug so it's certainly a hack or misconfiguration problem that comes from your own unit. Felix Chenier (chenier@step.polymtl.ca).

It's excellent! I like the simplicity of operation. It is very useful for keeping notes in sheet format. The import and export mode, too.

Nice interface for working with CSV files, and data entry for other programs. Would be cool if it could read and modify .pdb files too.

Thank you very very much ! FreeGrid is fast and efficient. A little bit confusing for scrolling, but when you're used to use it, it's like a dream. I find that Quicksheet is very bloated, your program is light enough to fit on a small handheld computer. Continue this good job !
