Polaris Office Mobile App Reviews

Cant add additional slides with power point New update cant open

Mobile for 2016 on iPad, including the recent update, does not work: wont save revised documents, wont open new documents, emailed attachments never arrive. As a long-time very satisfied Polaris user, for work and home documents, this is both very disruptive and very disappointing. Ive had to go to Apples Pages app to recover my mobile productivity at work.

I like the improvements. I long searched for a word processor to avoid Office 365 and was always disappointed. This app is now worth the money. Earlier versions had real problems and was clunky. So far I am impressed with the improvements. Maybe with more use Ill want to give it 5 stars.

The only reason I bought this app was for WebDAV support. It worked great until iOS 9. With that release the app stopped working completely. They took a few weeks to get it fixed, but the fix removed WebDAV. After waiting a few months, this latest release put WebDAV back in. But, unfortunately, it doesnt work--it just times out trying to connect. Without WebDAV I have no use for it. As long as Im manually uploading and downloading Im back to using Word and Excel.

Cannot create new file and save directly to Dropbox.

I have always admired giant killers. Your application for the past 4 years has been my go-to for starting and presenting slides and word processing. Your new 2016 upgrade to iOS 9.0 really suffers and probably a mislabel. Not an improvement I was hoping to see from the 2015 version. FIrst and foremost, I can no longer import images into the app. The camera and the other insert bottoms work, If import images doesnt work, then my ability to stay completely off the PC radar and stay on my iPad is gone. Please fix. Second, if your attention and money is going to cloud-based services and forcing a user to pay a large annual price, then you are too late. Microsoft has this already, with apps that work, and at a lower cost. Your support for Dropbox has not been stellar, so that may be a clue of your future business plan. Third, your "contact us" button easier was not easy to find. Took me 10 minutes to find it. When I entered my text, it forced me to approve the use of personal information. Get your legal to change the wording. What this does is force users to give bad recommendations on the App Store. Speaking as a software refugee, dont follow the strategy that DataVis and Docs to Go did and lose sight of the mobile platform users. Thanks.

Perfecto

The old version of this app was terrible. Nothing worked. But the new version is amazing. I feel in my own personal opinion that this app is better than Microsoft and any other app to write on. Totally worth the money now. 5 stars guys.

Disgusted, worked great now about worthless. Polaris office is worthless, simply worthless. Dont waste your efforts. These latest releases belong in the dirt fertilizing a garden! I cannot even get my data out of my spreadsheets without setting up a new spreadsheet elsewhere and manually re-inputting multiple years worth of data! First Quickoffice, now Polaris, simply worthless, even worse than worthless, energy sucking pit.

Ok, maybe just make a useful book of directions when you update and change how to use the app. Found my way around eventually and it actually works... Silly rabbit! Changed my rating back to 5 stars as it works now. Lol

Could be better, could be worse

5 thumbs aaallllll the way up!

This will again be a great app when iOS 9 gets its act together. I was thrilled with this app before iOS 9 and hope it will again regain its functionality. Update, March 9, 2016. I dont know who got its act together, but I love this app once again. It has features other productivity apps dont have. I have upgraded my review to 5 stars.

Great app, smooth, works well with MS files, updated regularly with enhancements. As an alternative to the full blown (huge) MS apps it is perfect. Ive been using Polaris for a few years now with no complaints. I also like that it can open MS files with a password although editing isnt allowed.

I practically use this app for everything, this app has given me the opportunity to use my iPad for almost everything in my job.

Well done! Bravo!
