### 1/5 — Not what they advertise

*2015-07-14*

It will let me open odt document but does not let you present or do anything with a file after opening it. Also some of the formatting does not translate like it should. Disappointing

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2015-03-20*

I got this so I could view an ODS file on my iPad. It's a very simple spreadsheet, but only some parts of it were displayed.  I'm going to try to get my money back.

### 1/5 — Not good. Avoid.

*2014-09-29*

Horrible.  Did not open any docs or files.  Kept freezing and closing after starting to try to convert. Wasted money.

### 1/5 — App simply does not work... Scam?

*2014-02-03*

I want my money back. 
App Store needs to start testing applications.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2014-02-01*

Just downloaded app and tried to open two different files and doesn't work. My own fault for paying $4.99 for app with no reviews. Reviews make u give it one star so that's the lowest I can go

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2014-01-16*

Doesn't work. Keeps crashing. Waste of time and money

### 4/5 — It works!!!!

*2013-11-19*

Dose as advertised

### 1/5 — Not great...

*2013-01-20*

Document looks like rubbish when opened in Open Reader.  Do not buy.

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2012-12-05*

The formatting on the first .odt document I opened was so bad it was not useable.

I am glad we have an "uninstall" function, but I wish we also had an "unbuy" function.

A waste of $5.

### 1/5 — Jeff

*2012-07-19*

Downloaded this app to open ods files, it doesn't work
. Waste of money
