### 1/5 — Nothing works! Don’t waste your time

*2024-06-03*

Devs need about 3 more years of R&D before publishing this.

### 1/5 — Catastrophique

*2024-05-25*

Ne marche pas bien.

### 1/5 — Attention pirates

*2023-06-01*

A éviter tout est dit.

### 1/5 — Installé pédant deux minutes

*2022-12-04*

Inutile sur iPad

### 1/5 — Where is the KEYBOARD?

*2022-06-25, version 2.0*

Sorry but where is the keyboard? I can’t start writing….

### 1/5 — This is an app

*2022-05-25*

Doesn't have full screen use and no way to zoom out to see the full page

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2022-03-22*

Ya lo he desinstalado. No corresponde a la descripción indicada.

### 2/5 — Non bien

*2021-11-19*

Je suis désolé mais il y a beaucoup de problème je ne le conseil pas

### 1/5 — Very seriously flawed product

*2021-05-09*

This is a remotely-hosted instance of either OpenOffice or SmartOffice, viewed through a browser window, instantiated by the app.  It''s essentially a hobbled screen-sharing app, tied only to SmartOffice and OpenOffice.  Other screen sharing apps, such as we use on Zoom dot com, allow full use of the keyboard.  This app frequently ignores keystrokes, is unresponsive to any of the arrow keys of iOS, and will not allow highlighting and selection of text for copying and pasting.  It's the worst editing app since StarOffice for the IBM PC, and completely ruins the experience of working with either OpenOffice or SmartOffice.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-03-16*

Way to slow and glitchy. Using a iPad 9th gen. Key board won’t open to write. Can’t find or open my own documents but there’s a lot stored on the app itself. Tried to open a couple to see if I could start a fresh page, but no luck. Definitely a waste of time. I did however enjoy the old layout! Brings back some memories. Easy to use. IF it worked!
