Waste of money
Just paid $5.99 and downloaded the APP for my iPad. It doesn't work. I have asked for a refund. Unless I can get some support for it and get it to work it's not even worth the 1 star rating that I forced to give it for this thing to accept my review.

Lousy App. Does not work
We need to start a Class Action against Corel.
And we are just the attorney's to take them on.

Fake App
WARNING: It's not a true viewer. All it does is convert a WPD to HTML so the regular iPhone viewer can display it. I expected a REAL viewer like we have for Word. I've been a loyal WP user since 1985 and I have resisted switching to Word. I guess it's time to give up on WP. They can't handle it.
Furthermore, even their lame converter doesn't integrate with other apps. For example, I access a WPD file via Dropbox, then tap it to view and it says I have no viewer installed. Of course if I tap a Word doc, I get a viewer.
So, after paying seven bucks for a viewer, my iPad says I don't have one. And I agree!
HOW DO I GET A REFUND!

Not worth the trouble
I have used WP for over twenty years... now I need WP for my iPad. This is a reader, but it only allow certain portions of a document to be read, and it scrambles much of the page at times. Corel, get on the stick and catch up with technology. I shudder to think I'll be using MS Word!
Garbage
don't buy this, it is total garbage
Not worth a Penny
Against my better judgment, I purchased this app. After installation and testing, It simply didn't work; it didn't do anything; did not open any wpd document; no error msg, just....NOTHING. I looked in the mirror to see if on my forehead there was a sign that said: STUPID. Ugh! I deleted and re-downloaded the app to no avail. The track record of WordPerfect since the MSDOS version was sadly very low in the area or research and development, hence, dysfunctional customer care (more correctly- - lack thereof). The previous reviews were not encouraging, and I should have stopped there. To improve the image of WordPerfect/Corel, I suggest giving a "Lite" version, and allow users to download up to 5 documents for testing purposes. Uh-HUH...it works, THEN charge the $5.99. Or could it be that Corel is desperate for money, and this is one way to charge customers little amounts, thinking customers would just say: Forget it? I wonder.

Fulfills its Purpose!
This app fulfills a missing link. It enables me to open and view my WordPerfect documents on my iOS devices (iPhone4S and iPad2). Although you cannot edit the document on an iOS device, you can cut and paste. As such, it is a very very useful app.
Just Okay
I was so excited to find a WP viewer for my iPad that I purchased & installed it without reading up on it. I wish I had. I was disappointed to discover that it won't open a WP attachment in FirstClass... my work email which is the only one where I would ever receive a WP attachment. I found a viable workaround. I just forward the FC email to my gmail acct. & the document will open fine from there. The extra steps are a drag, though. I hope this gets addressed in a future update. If it does, I'll come back & up it's star quotient.

Wordperfect Viewer does not work
I had the predecessor "WPD Viewer" by the original developer. It worked the last time I used it a couple months ago by touching .wpd attachments and opening them in the app. I tried that today and it failed to work, with the iPad mail app indicating that it could not open the attachment. I paid for the new app now owned by Corel and tried it.....same result. This is a total waste unless Corel and/or Apple arrange(s) for exporting from the mail app.

No Support
No local help menu and when I emailed help per the app prompt, the message bounced back as undeliverable. Cannot wipe documents selectively, so i have three of the same document. This is beta stuff, about half done and flawed.
