Disappointed

I purchased the PRO version of this app a few years ago. I was happy with the app, it mostly did everything I needed from it.
MOBI has now ceased support for the app I purchased.
When I inquired with them they told me to simply install the free version and my documents would migrate to the new app.
I did this, and the documents did indeed migrate. The problem is I’m now bombarded with prompts to upgrade to the premium version of the app, and ads appear on every page I open. I can no longer work with the documents on my original app because they disappeared when they migrated to the new app, they weren’t simply copied over.
My previous paid version of this app had none of these annoying distractions.
Needless to say, I’m very unhappy with this.

Hello, There should be no third-party ads and you should be able to freely create, edit files, export to PDF. If this is not the case, and I'm sorry to ask again, could you please contact us through the in-app form (Account, Send feedback, Contact support)? The information on App Store is limited and I can't seem to find your correspondence. Thank you!

Used to be great...

I used to love this app. But after their announcement that they are going to transfer to OfficeSuite, now they force you to buy a yearly membership if you want to get rid of their adds, I had paid for the Pro version before and I sent 5 different emails with proof of my previous purchase and yet I had no one getting back with me...and it keeps telling me to upgrade to a yearly membership...it sound like greed to me, I don’t recommend it anymore.

Update:
After two weeks of trying to restore my purchase, it finally restored my account and I am able to use it without the adds.

Dear Charrua, thank you so much for updating your review and rating of OfficeSuite.

If you ever need any assistance, help or simply want to give us feedback, please do so at: ios-helpdesk@mobisystems.com. We appreciate you using our product - thank you!

Very useful, but has issues ...

Excellent functionality and works well, most of the time.

One of the problems, is that the app will quite often render .xls files imported from Open Office (Windows) to unreadable format after saving it in OfficeSuite. Also, we could do without the nag window prompting us to leave a review. Even does it when a review has already been left.

Data loss migrating to the new app from Pro version

After downloading the new app and signing in, the old app somehow deleted all my work, and its missing from the new app. Gone forever! Absolutely terrible for software that isn’t free to go flippantly deleting user data! Hours of work has been lost, just by downloading a new app - something I wouldn’t imagine possible in iOS. Backup all your files to a location external to the app before moving to the new app!

We are sorry that you have experienced an issue with the app. Please contact us at: ios-helpdesk@mobisystems.com providing more details and we can try to help. Thank you!

Well now you are just being greedy! Thanks a lot!

I cannot afford many apps but I saw the value in this for what it was capable of doing so I purchased the full version of this app years ago. I am really upset to find out an automatic update was done and I can no longer use this App unless I want to pay a monthly or yearly subscription.
Way to look out for the people who help support your app when it had all its flaws. You think we could get a notice or warning or at least the option to to keep our old version that we paid for bugs and all. I am sorry but I cannot afford a subscription.

Terrible customer care

After my updated review, this app has sudden
deleted half of my copy and no one at Mobi has gotten back to me with an explanation as to what happened and who within Mobi had made the unauthorized alteration. There is no working customer service contact phone number so it’s impossible to speak with anyone at Mobi. I LOST HALF OF MY COPY AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE!!! This app is not user friendly and the customer service for any help is non existent.

This app works great but I am disappointed by the forced up sell to the paid edition. Without paying, the basic app really does nothing. I think it would be professional of the developer to say, up front, that if the user want to convert a odt zipped file to a readable version on iOS, you need to pay. NOT COOL, people. Non the less, I needed the conversion so I agreed to the upgrade, for now. But I’m not sure I’ll keep it beyond the 7 day trial... Have some guts, developer and contact me to discuss. Will this happen? Probably not.

Dec 18 Hello, again AILeeShaw, As we do care, we answer here, also. We believe we are able to identify one issue in our support system from you. In order to investigate it, we need a sample file which illustrates the problem and more details. We have a team of developers who can investigate what might have gone wrong. Also, please share why you believe that the Free version of the app is not very useful? Compared to other apps we offer much more functionality for FREE to our users. Dec 17 Hello AILeeShaw, please contact us via email at: ios-helpdesk@mobisystems.com. We apologize for any inconvenience and are sorry you are experiencing a problem. Please include as many details about the issue, as possible and attach a screenshot(s) if applicable when you contact us. Thank you!

Excellent!

Very reluctant to throw money at Microsoft on a subscription basis for a product that comes free with a Samsung tablet. Have fully paid up versions of Word on my iMac and MacBook Air. This software is one excellent substitute for Word on the iPad / iPhone. Yet to find any problems. Files created on the iPad are correctly read at the desktop. What more do you need?!

Thank you for your review. Our team appreciates it!

Paid for the upgrade now asking to pay again

I paid approx £20+ few months back for the full edition of this software, tonight ive tried to convert a file and i cant seem to to due to not having the full paid version. I have already paid for it and not paying again, when i paid for the app it did not state an annual subscription like its stating now. What is the next step i have paid for my full version app

I think its a great tool for iPad users on the go but not £20 a year

Hello, thank you for contacting us. OfficeSuite provides 2 options for additional purchases: • OfficeSuite Pro (One-time purchase) – All premium features for iOS devices only (without PDF conversion) • OfficeSuite Personal (Subscription plan) – All premium features for 1 desktop & other mobile devices (incl. PDF conversion) Both of them are available directly through the freemium version, but if you have already purchased OfficeSuite Pro, than you could upgrade to subscription at a lower price.

Productive

Works just like it says. But it also says in the list of available features... “ Premium PDFs… Convert PDF to Word Excel and EPUB (available as part of OfficeSuite personal subscription) So I read this as I should be able to convert PDF docs to Word or Excel when I purchased this subscription but when I try to do it said I had to go premium?!?!!! And I have no idea what the “available as part of OfficeSuite person subscription” means? Can you explain it? Not real happy about this.

It’s a very good, great and useful App!

Hi everyone! As I wrote it’s a very great app :-), but I would like to ask from the developers, that in the word and in the excel part, shall I use the Apple Pencil? While in the pdf program I can use - and it’s very cool, :-)

Or this is not possible, I think it’ll be a useful think, If the developers should give this plus thing to the app!
