For reference, I’m not convinced that you needed them here, but instead, that you didn’t devote enough thought to how that UI should work on a touch screen. There’s no reason why your preferences couldn’t have used a column of UISwitches. Your export panel could have used a UISegmentedControl to select the export type, and a UIPicker to select the export format.
That said, don’t get disheartened – a good, high quality data table is something that would be very useful on iOS – just try to polish it up more!
