Polaris Office Mobile App Reviews

Finally something that just works without to much need for setting adjustment. This office suite is new on the market and finally it has most of the features you need for on the road mobile office computing. The only thing that it is missing to me is web browser integration. Connected to Dropbox, box. And other seamlessly. And is very fast compared to cloud on, other office suites. I was using this in LTE. And wow big complex files come over fact and without loss of features and design. The interface is also cleaner then some of the other office suites. It uses space on iPad well and doesnt feel the need to fill white space with menus and buttons. Options and deaths are rich enough for mobile computing. Handles multiple formats like .doc, .docx, xls, xlsx, txt etc. As for .pdf. No editing yet but can read quickly without loss if design. I am happy with the introductory price too. Keep up the good work and I await any smart tweak and improvements.

The application has some great features, but Dropbox integration needs improvement. It would be great to have a french translation.

Plz add the feature

I downloaded Polaris Office as part of the introductory offer. Pros: - Nice UI - Fast loading of documents - Word documents seems to be rendered nicely --- on the iPad. - Seems to be hinting at comments/revision support, which is rare in iPad apps (from what Ive seen) + the UI showed where my comments (revisions) should be, but I couldnt actually view them Cons: - Of the few documents I tried, one "round tripped" nicely - I made a change in iPad after importing and was able to open in Word on the PC. However, the other one would not open on the PC after editing in PolarisOffice. I repeated the procedure a few times, but got the same result. MS Word (on the PC) complained of a security alert. Once I dismissed that dialog (by clicking Open), a second dialog saying Word was unable to open the document and that it might be corrupt. - Support is seemingly non-existent (or at least not responsive). The developer website has a link to a Q&A (under Support), but after typing my question and clicking submit, an error is returned. I sent an email to an address I found on their Facebook page, but did not get a response. (In that email, I also reported the broken Q&A link on their website). Posted a question to Facebook but also didnt get a response. - DropBox support appears to be one way; easy enough to get documents out of DropBox and copy to local iPad storage, but unclear (at least to me) how to sync documents back to DropBox after making changes to the local copy. (I ended up emailing the changed document back to myself). - Scrolling through pages in large documents is slightly sluggish, but not bad (better than remote access type solutions)

Compared to most of the other "suite" applications I have bought and tried this one works (especially for PowerPoint slide decks). Still could use some polishing and better documentation - tabs for example. Still a solid app and they are adding features and upgrading it.

I really like how easy it is to edit and make new documents. You can also add pictures, change color fonts, pretty much just like the same as ms word! Really good job!

crashed immediately in opening a simple .doc Documents to Go is not the fastest or flashiest, but its the most stable, and I have tried most.

Basic docs function like moving and dragging pictures will not work at all. Found impossible to delete document. Pressing the edit function does not bring up the delete button as the tutorial say it would??? There is no way to easily contact support as with most app unless you create a log in and password. I never said that about any app before but this app is useless and downright not working. Ripoff.

Awesome, easy to use..

Polaris is a good word processing app for any student on the go. The only upset is there isnt a spell or grammar check, very useful tools when editing a paper. I look forward to the update.

Either I cant find the spell check or I just spent $10 for a program that cant check spelling like every other program does???

Extremely pleased with the app so far!! The possibility to add charts on excel is exactly what I was looking for! Syncing with Dropbox works like a charm! Scrolling is a big lagging but its not much of a big deal! I hope the devs are going to keep working on this app to make it even better! Worth every penny. I can finally leave the laptop and home and only work with the iPad.

I asked for my money back. Constant crashes. Files dont open properly. Nothing but problems. It took me less than 2 minutes to regret this purchase.

I used to like Polaris office but recently updated and lost ALL my files!!! What is going on? I had tonnes of files and now I dont know how to recover them. I should have used iBooks for my PDFs

I made a mistake by downloading this app and now Im out $12.99 I only used the Word document viewer/editor. But there are a number of major issues discovered in 5 minutes of use. 1. Jerky scrolling of document. 2. Numbering on document not formatted correctly. Numbers and letters displayed to large. 3. Trying to add a paragraph (by pressing return at end of a paragraph) totally threw all the numbering out of wack. What should have appeared as "III." displayed as "III. III. III.", and also added extra numbers to each numbered line. 4. Selecting words was not as fluid as in all other apps. I wish I had my money back and I am surprised Apple lets this stuff in its App Store - whats the point in the approval process?

I bought this app to plot charts in spreadsheet. It is useless and can not even select which column of data is my x axis.

Since the last updates, I cannot even save the files I work with... Its useless now, Im so angry and sad... Even mad... Please do something!

I have downloaded this app today having something good in mind after downloading when i try to access drop box it say temporarily network error but i know that this is not a temporary error the thing is there is no longer support for drop box .. Kindly update and resolve this issue. Thanks

I discovered yesterday Polaris Office and use it both on my iPhone and my iPad mini. Until now, it is absolutely flawless and it works fine with documents (.doc and .docx, .xls and .xlsx, .ppt and .pptx) I create or I import and export by mail or with my Dropbox account. VERY useful !

This app seems to run pretty well with all of the Word files I have tried to edit or create. It seems to have a few glitches though that are annoying. Every time I am editing docx files it capitalizes the first word I enter. This needs to be addressed. When docx files are eventually opened in Word on my laptop, the words at the end of every sentence are split down to the next sentence. The app has also crashed a few times when opening it ...usually when the app was left in the storage window prior to closing. With a bit more polish, it could be a leader. Luckily, I paid a heavily discounted price at purchase and would not pay the regular price. Pages is still the best bet for working with Word files.
