Please Help

I have this on my iPad, and now want to use it on my new iPhone 11 Pro.
I’m trying to sign in, it says my email doesn’t exist. I’ve taken screen shots of my account settings (my name and email) and my Apple subscriptions (paid for a year).
How can I access this on my iPhone, or even worse if I replace my iPad I’ll loose everything?

Good job on customer service

Old review: In the past, I used to use the pro version of the app, and enjoyed it. When that got discontinued, I heard that you could still use the pro version if you installed the free version and then signed in via the account. However, now whenever I use the free version and sign in, it does nothing. I get ads, and have lost most of the features I used to get with the pro version. I tried signing out and signing back in, no dice.

Edit: After about 4-5 days (3 business days b/c I wrote the reivew on a Saturday), I received an email from Mobisystems asking me to email them my email address to confirm that I had a pro account with them. After doing so, I was able to get my old pro account back within I guess 2-3 hours. So I was able to have no ads, and mark my pdfs like before. Good job, Mobisystems. I will update my review from 1 stars to 4 stars accordingly.

Thank you very much, for revising your rating of OfficeSuite. We really appreciate it, and apologize again for the issue that you experienced using your previously purchased Pro version.

Simply Marvelous

This app is the very best tool to have whether it be for just Word documents, Excel files, viewing power point presentations or what have you because the benefits far far outweigh the cost of the application.

I will say though that arguably the best part of this app is it’s seamless ability to integrate non-word and the other types of office files into their appropriate programs. Not to mention the incredible ease of mobile use therein! In my opinion even though there is really no difference versus the desktop versions of the programs, the developers have beautifully made these mobile versions much much easier to use than their big-brother desktop versions and I’ve yet to encounter an issue with any component (something the desktop versions can never say) and that’s if I ever do have an issue. 10/10

Not So Great 😒

I thought this was such a great app when I first began using it. It included all the apps that I needed for my business. I have been using it heavily. I have quite a few documents saved. Now when i try to open the app it doesn’t open. I can’t access any of my files. I’m super angry. I thought the files were backed up but they weren’t and that’s my fault. I tried everything I could to get the app to open for me and it just will not load. So now I have to delete it and reinstall which is a bit frustrating. I don’t trust that it will not freeze up on me again. I also found that while typing documents it can be a little laggy. Maybe the freezing non opening app situation as well as the laggy typing can be fixed with an update. Right now I just can not recommend this app. I would stick with pages or something else for now.

Used to be brilliant, now useless

I used the free version of this app for a few days and it worked perfectly - with ads, but that was tolerable. Then suddenly it started asking for payment to use any features at all, even basic editing. I wrote to ask why and was told the free version is now only a “document viewer for the time being” - i.e. totally useless. What on earth does “for the time being” mean? This is not as advertised. You state quite clearly that the free version performs all normal editing functions. It doesn’t.

Great substitute for Word

If you work in MS Word often needing to view info on multiple documents at a time, this app is a must have. It recognizes Word styles and can connect to OneDrive. It’s packed full of features and doesn’t rely on an internet connection for data collecting that can crash Word or prevent saving. Since Word limits the amount of documents you can have open at one time, it’s a must have to view or work on more than one document at a time. Troubles maintaining all formatting if copying or saving in Doc or Docx formats can happen so save org. Such loss also occurs if copying in Onedrive, but seems specific to IPad. If I open on PC later, haven’t had any problems. If you have no need for subscription to Word, don’t hesitate. Even though I bought Pro Suite I still deal with daily ads to join their cloud subscription. Deducting one star for those constant ads.

Very useful

The trial version has a lot of advertising but it seems to work very well for reading PDF files which is all I am using it for.
