The venerable Stephen Bye has been tinkering under the bonnet of SpreadCE for the second month in a row, releasing the 3.17 version of the Pocket Excel replacement on Friday.

The new release is listed as a minor bug fix and enhancement release, although forum user archival36 reports that you can now search text across entire worksheets/workbooks, including comments.

SpreadCE is not only a full replacement for Pocket Excel, but also a functional contender to rival the full version of Excel or TextMaker’s PlanMaker. Boasting support for full charting, macros, native opening of xlsx, xls, csv (and more) along with the more recent addition of VBA support, the app is a steal at $20.00 USD (£16.53 GBP, €19.01 EUR, ¥2,985.95 JPY est.).
