i have rosetta software to learn language. i receive daily emails with new word each day.
i thought would be great idea to create my own dictionary to aide in my learning.

i found on my iPad air in apps...oDic.
tho i did see that the options showing were for iPad only.

The software allows to import a cvs file. i have excel on macbook air.
i would use macbook air in order to use rosetta stone software.

BUT when i search for oDic using macbook air...it does not show.

what am i doing wrong?

The app "oDic" is the iPhone and iPad only. There is no such app for OS X.

Thanks for info on oDic.... Just seems odd that one can import a CSV file into that app but as far as I know, cannot run excel on iPhone nor iPad. Am I correct?
Guess will have to figure something else out!

There is an Excel version for the iPad. Launch iTunes and search the store for it. Here's Macworld's review.

@lori:

There is Office for the iPhone and iPad which includes Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and Outlook. See this LINK. The apps are limited in what they can do unless you buy a full subscription for Office 365. I use Word quite a bit on my iPhone and it works great with OneDrive. Both are free from MS but you need to register with MS. Registration is also free.
