Total failure

This app doesn’t work! Too many ads.

Completely unusable

This app is completely unusable. It basically builds a desktop environment on your phone. It barley registers when you click on anything, and is overall not worth using. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!

crap

freezes up, probably because of all the ads it's running, which is also prohibiting the user from doing anything useful with the app.

Wasting time and money

Be careful it’s charging 0.79 every month as u download even after you deleted it

Portrait

It only has a portrait view. I cannot use my keyboard that way. It has to be landscape view. My iPad screen is small enough without advertising.

Fragile and frustrating

I need an ap to import, edit and export .odt docs. This is a poor solution. There are two parts: the first pretends to be an OpenOfficeWriter environment but you can't see the right side of the window (you are forced to portrait orientation) and the file system bears no relation to the ipad so can't see how to get my doc in/out. The second, Smart Editor, takes at least 20 secs to open a 50Kb doc (copied from email no bother), while you ty to close a full screen ad. The Smart Editor needs a keyboard with cursor keys, or you're stuck with the scroll bar, which is very clumsy. Page refreshes have a satellite delay. Having figured work-arounds for mis-mapped characters and tabs, I find the search field invaluable to jump to a point in the doc, only for it to be covered by a banner ad. I save regularly and swipe to another ap and back only to find the Smart Editor resets itself to the start of the document. After about 20 min editing I save and exit to produce a worrying small (bytes) doc which is of course some corrupted spit-out, so the save function is useless and I've wasted my time. Don't even try to leave the ap open while you lock the screen; it will crash. You have to exit, hopefully strike lucky with it saving your work, immediately export to the ipad's files ap for safe-keeping, then close and restart next time. The ap refuses to work offline. It's painfully slow, clunky and unreliable; the antithesis of OpenOffice. Two stars because if you learn its tantrums you can technically edit a document, but it's very hard and repetitive work.

Constantly seizes up

Pretty useless. It seizes up every few minutes. You can't use the inherent iPhone typing assistance (predictive word suggestion) even though it shows it as you type. Shows words it think are misspelled but won't provide correction suggestions.

I like

It is like having OpenOffice writer
