Polaris Office: Edit&View, PDF

I keep seeing replies to reviews complaining about the ads saying that there is a single payment option to get rid of ads. That is a lie. Only a subscription is offered. No thanks. Their cheapest subscription still has features I could care less about. I don't want AI. I don't want to use it on multiple devices. And I don't want access to a cloud. I. Just. Want. To. Get. Rid. Of. Ads. That's it. Just give me a basic Word processor and I'll gladly pay a one time fee of $10 or something.

I've used this app for a while and found it handy. I know free apps use ads to pay for themselves, but now it's an ad between EVERY transition between documents, and that runs up my limited data bandwidth. The ad box pops up saying Watch an ad and not see ads for the rest of the day. No video ad loads, another ad box later. Otherwise, pay $4.00/ day to keep from seeing ads for that day. I'm trying to find a straight up "buy" option, but don't see one. Way to grift. Way to grift your users!👎

This app is horrible. I have used this App for years with mild annoyances. Now things are much worse. Suddenly.I am unable to open files. I am receiving error .message " engine error" . Not sure what that means in this case, and when I search for some way to speak to tech ical support , there is no o e to call. No phone number is provided and no one responded to email. I recommend you look at other products.

Was a great free app. Ads are present at nearly every click. Tried using it for a few weeks but is too agrivating. Constantly turning off ads. I have older versions on older equipment that has fewer ads. Was happy to use on my new device. Not now. Very disappointed. Goodbye. Thanks for the response, but no thanks. Found another less intrusive app.

Does its Job but Omg, the frigging ads are ridiculous. If you download a pdf and open it, it's likely you'll have to watch an ad first. If you switch between windows to check something in a different window, then go back to check the pdf again.. Another ad will play. Then once a year I get an email telling me I can save on a subscription. Yippee, let me just pay money to remove ads, for something that I can get free from another app. No thanks. I've had enough and uninstalled.

I am GLAD I did not pay money into this app. Using a spreadsheet has never been more inaccurate. I try to enter information into a field and it magically disappears. Not every time. From time to time, my information may register and stay in the field. Other times, the information I plug in will disappear after hitting enter. I'm trying to make a spreadsheet for work and this app is working against me. At first I thought it was my Note 4 acting up because of age. I found out I was wrong, so I went out and bought a new phone and I'm still having the same issues. I also HATE how ads are taking over the app now. It wasn't this way for a good amount of time.

It's an amazing app and works great on my old Galaxy S5, but on my Blade Z, whenever I go into edit mode and start typing or altering existing text, it starts glitching, deleting text automatically and replacing it with what I'm typing, even going as far as to delete enter spaces that were made. I'm giving it 5 stars because it's just as reliable as Microsoft Office without the price, but I wanted to bring up this issue, because it might be a problem occurring on several devices.

The ads were way too disruptive, making this app useless. It starts with opening to full page ads that I had to wait while it completed the ad (no way to close it), which would then automatically start downloading apps I didn't want unless I quickly clicked cancel during the process! Then, once I was finally able to view my document, banner ads covered up parts of it, and there was no way to scroll to see what was under the banner ad. Using this app was a terrible experience.

Used to be Good. Even paid to get rid of ads but it just seems to crash, it won't even load now. I just get a blank screen. Tried closing apps, freeing up memory, restarting phone. Still it won't load. Thankfully my important files are on the SD card so I won't lose info but think I will uninstall and find another app. Sad, because it used to be good. Even take the loss on paying to go ad free. Update: The developer quickly fixed the problem. Faith has been somewhat restored.

I only use the Document and Spreadsheet features. The spreadsheet seems pretty good. For a very long time now, it has been nearly impossible to edit anything on a document for the same reason that I see other people are having. The cursor goes back to places I don't want it to go and, it constantly replaces words that I'm trying to type with other words (or even segments of words) that I have used occasionally in document. It's like autocorrect on drugs.

Better than Google Docs, but still not very good. Sure, you can make a spreadsheet, but the UI isn't very intuitive. Hitting [Enter] should automatically move to the next cell, but it doesn't, so it takes forever to enter data. The icons in the menu don't have text descriptions, and it's not always clear what they do. Not many editing options. It's very underwhelming, and actually pretty frustrating to use. Install AndrOpen Office instead. It's fully featured, FREE, and open source.

You have to be kidding...you need to offer at least a 7-day free trial (Pro version). MS Office 365 is garbage and I'm looking for a replacement. I'd be willing to pay for your Pro version; however, I'm not paying for anything I can't try first. Cloud based programs are all riddled with problems and by reading your reviews I'd guess yours is also. And yes, your full page ads are entirely to long.

I don't mind the ads with a couple of exceptions. 1. The frequency of ads is aggressive. I get they want to force a purchase but this level of aggressive ads turns me of the app completely. 2. When an ad plays,. It interrupts my media,. Which is fine except it doesn't just interrupt but once the ad is over my media volume is turned all the way down and I have to turn it back up every time after an ad. That is an unnecessary annoyance. Will be uninstalling for a diff app.

Been using polaris in mobile phone for a long time and had no issues. But since the latest update, been having issues on the worksheets - cell color and borders disappeared, number format became general, etc. Tried fixing the file yesterday and saved it. Now the worksheets are more chaotic. The borders and highlighted cells are all over the place. numbers became general characters again. Also, ads are at all time high. Pls fix or revert to old version.

I loved this app, I never had any issues with it until tonight. I was creating a document with a heading and bullets, basically a list. And everytime I would try typing the first thing next to the bullet, whatever I typed would be autocorrected to the heading title word. I'm hoping the update fixes this problem. Otherwise I will delete this app since it will be useless to me and stick to pens and paper. Good day.

Ads have ruined this once amazing app. Just navigating the menus triggers ads. Not just a pop up ad, but one where you have to wait for the x to pop up, which then brings you to the second part of the ad where you wait for the next x to pop up, once that second one shows up it's hit or miss if there's a third ad to wait through. All while navigating the app menus. This used to be my go to now it wastes more of my time with ads than with productivity. The ads have ruined this app.

Too bad this good app no longer will open. Others complained and Polaris Office people asked for more info thru settings in the app. But if you can't open the app, you can't get to settings or anything else. I uninstalled and reinstalled. No help. In fact it is worse. Used to get an animated thing to watch spinning around, now the screen is just white when trying to open.

I had this app on an older device, and when setting up my new device, I was happy to download it again, until...the following permission was sought - To read and edit the document, you need the authority to access the file. Don't worry! Files not related to using the app are not accessed. Allow access to manage all files (on/off) (there then was an info thing below the toggle) Allow this app to read, modify and delete all files on this device or any connected storage volumes. If granted, app may access files without your explicit knowledge. Assuming that's an accurate assessment of the extent of the permission, why would anyone agree to it? access - yes; modify, delete (I guess that's what it means by "manage"?), not even limited to this device - NO!; access without my knowledge - no Uninstalling, and I'll look for a less intrusive app.

DON'T PAY FOR ANY SERVICES! If you have 3 pages of documents watch out! It lags. And now if you have more than 5 pages, it crashes! Also watch out, when you type up stories or whatever you do and you save it and open it, next time your gonna end up in WEIRD CAP MODE THE ENTIRE TIME, AND YOU CANT UNDO IT AT ALL! Wasted my time fixing it and trying to save over and over and still ends up in all cap. I ended up using Microsoft Office, much more stable. Spending money on here ain't worth it.

This app was good but then they added advertisements. You can get rid of them if you pay their one time fee for just one device (does not include promotional ads of their own product). That's not the worst honestly they want you to pay a subscription to remove ads from all devices. So it is a charge by device or accept the subscription in which they place features that should probably come on the application. This feels like a ploy to make you feel you are getting more out of the subscription.
