### 1/5 — useless

*2020-02-12*

Just paid mega bucks for an app that can’t even properly display a simple one page inDesign document, tried two different versions. Forget the editing, does not work. Was great and much needed in theory....

### 1/5 — No way to export back to iTunes, no help

*2012-05-30*

There is no apparent way to send an idml file back to iTunes. When I select Export to iTunes I get a window that says Choose Format with no options or way to click anything but Cancel. There is no manual or help for this application except a very short into.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2011-09-02*

Does not work as advertised. I have a book that contains ONE story. In iDML on my iPad I get 52 stories!! The very last story is the actual story I want to edit, but every time I open it, the app crashes. Also, I get an error every time I try to connect to my iDisk to download a file. I ended up having to email it to myself. I really, really wanted this app to work because I do a lot of work with InDesign files and it would be neat to be able to do this on the move. However, it is totally useless and definitely not worth $20. It's times like this I wish Apple had a trial system where you could get a refund within the first 24 hours of an app store purchase if an app doesn't work as advertised.

### 5/5 — Good way to utilize iPad in production

*2011-09-27*

I got an iPad for testing digital publishing results and now I use it to create the content. Works great for quick edits and text proofing, I love the ability to add styles.
I wish there was a layout view too.
