DO NOT PURCHASE. I just wasted 5.00. iTunes please refund me my money, program does not work as advertised. ### 1/5 — DON'T BUY THIS!!! *2012-03-27, version 1.0.2* I bought this to open ODS files. It doesn't work. File won't open. Waste of money. Apple wouldn't give me a refund unless i went through a lengthy procedure. I recommend downloading IBM Lotus Symphony. It's free and it works. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2012-03-25* Do not purchase. I want my money back ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money!! *2012-03-23, version 1.0.2* Can't zoom in on my odp spreadsheet. Completely useless ### 1/5 — Not Happy *2012-03-09* Technically, I could read the Open Office files, but the format was destroyed. Spreadsheets are unreadable. It's not worth the money. ### 1/5 — Wouldn't recommend. *2012-02-12* I figure most people would want this program for opening attachments through mail. It gives you the option when opening the attachment to open it through this app, but that doesn't seem to really work. At all. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2012-01-21* Doesn't work. All there is to it. ### 1/5 — What a mistake *2012-01-12, version 1.0.2* I bought this app because it was one of a few apps appearing to be useful for reading open office documents. There didn't seem to be ANY reviews (the front page said ZERO RATINGS) so I figured it was a new app and took a chance. What a mistake. I can't even zoom in to be able to read the document. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Want a refund! *2012-01-01* What a waste of $5 on something that doesn't even work. Plz refund me! ### 1/5 — Useless *2011-12-30* Paid 2.99 to open ods files, as this app claims to do. It doesn't, and support is non-existent. Don't waste your money and don't download this useless piece of crap ### 1/5 — Printing... *2011-12-19* Sending docs to print doesn't work, very annoying as bought the app to view and print odf files on the go. Don't waste your money. App support site doesn't work either. ### 1/5 — Poor rendering *2011-11-05* .ods document shows up on a very gray background and doesn't resemble the original document with all column widths lost. Tried to open a second document and Open Reader did the same thing. I could live with the messed up formatting, but the grey cast makes the page too dark to find the information I need. Unfortunately, this app is unusable. ### 1/5 — Garbage app. Don't waste your money. *2011-10-25, version 1.0.2* I needed to read an ODP file so I took a chance on this app since it appeared to be the only one available. It rendered the presentation in raw text - completely unreadable. ### 1/5 — Do Not Buy! *2011-09-03* This app does NOT in fact read .odt files, which is why I bought it. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2011-07-04* This is rip off, app doesn't actually do what it states it can, I want a refund. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Very bad software *2012-06-22* Don't waste your money! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — .ods works for me *2012-05-23* I haven't tried other formats, but I know the .ods works for me. I was having to wait till I got to work to see what my daily bank wire was going to be. Now I can open the .ods file on my iPhone at any time. I'm loving it. ### 5/5 — Reads my Open Office Docs *2011-08-08* Also stores them to HTML files if I want. Works fine. ### 5/5 — Reads o *2011-06-22* Works great for me! I needec to read odt files and that is what it does! I opened the file in Drop Box then told dropbox to open the file in Open Reader. Very smooth. ### 5/5 — Needs work *2011-02-26* Glad to finally see an app that can view .odt documents! I can also use it to open files in my Dropbox (accessible through my Dropbox app). Would love it even more if I could edit the files, but being able to view them is great. ### 4/5 — It works!!!! *2013-11-19* Dose as advertised ### 4/5 — Open reader *2011-03-09* Just downloaded this app and it worked for me when I needed to read an *.odt file sent by email. I needed to reboot my iPhone 3GS before the app would find and open the odt file within the email. ### 3/5 — Open reader *2011-08-19, version 1.0.2* Limited functionality. Better to pay extra for a full pro reader. ### 3/5 — Doesn't work -got some working *2011-04-09* Can't get wifi server to work and won't open odt in my email? Got wifi to init and had to create folder before you can send up files, then opened them great and saved to other apps very nicely, just need to be able to open from email and will be 5 stars! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
