### 3/5 — Update

*2025-09-05, version 9.7.2*

La app es buena pero la han  olvidado y no actualizan con frecuencia como la versión gratuita.

### 3/5 — Numeric key pad arrow for side to side movement missing

*2025-03-08, version 9.7.0*

Use spread sheet to enter data. Number pad does not have an arrow to change columns any more. Need to add it back in.

### 4/5 — Ziemlich gut!

*2025-01-03*

Um 5 Sterne zu vergeben, würde ich gern eine Kompakt-Ansicht nutzen können. Diese ist bei Microsoft-Office und MobiOffice auch implementiert. Durch die kompakte Ansicht wird das ständige Scrollen und Zoomen vermieden.
Gut ist, dass Polaris Office Mobile weniger Akku verbraucht als Microsoft Office, das sich ständig mit OneDrive austauscht, auch wenn man es nicht nutzt!

### 4/5 — My impression of the first 10 minutes

*2024-10-01, version 9.6.3*

I will update this later, if I feel it necessary. The option to copy from my previous word editor didn’t work until I pasted my manuscript into my phone’s notes, and then copy/pasted from the notes, into this app’s word processor. It still seemed a bit slow, but it worked. I was expecting the “edit” function first, so I was confused why I couldn’t find a way to change the font, until I found that it was in some kind of “presentation view” mode, and “editing” was a toggle between “done,” or “edit.”

### 4/5 — Zu empfehlen danke

### 4/5 — 誤ってデータを削除してしまいました

*2024-08-31*

誤ってデータを削除してしまいました。ゴミ箱はないのでしょうか？復帰させる方法を教えてください

### 4/5 — nice

*2024-07-19, version 9.6.3*

1.During the demonstration, the tool icon can appear on the iPad, but I hope that the tool icon does not appear on the demonstration device.
2. There is no need for Google's translation function. The translation provided by the ios system is better, more convenient and faster.

### 4/5 — Jetzt Zugriff auf iCloud- und z.B. DropBox-Dateien

*2024-04-03*

The Polaris Office mobile suite 9.6.3 is a simple but good solution for creating texts, spreadsheets or presentations in current MS formats or for opening corresponding files with German menu navigation. There are no ads but but now you have to pay €44 to avoid an Abo.

### 3/5 — フォントが…

*2024-01-11*

みなさん、フォントはちゃんと日本語フォントですか？
私は、ところどころ文字が中華フォントになるし年月日の表示は¥になるしPDFはめちゃくちゃだしで、対外用の書類は編集出来ません。
エクセルの再現度が高くて気に入っているので、ほんとフォントだけでも何とかしてください！

### 3/5 — Numeric input CORRECTED with latest update..BUT..

*2023-02-26, version 9.6.0*

Great app and NUMERIC keyboard now totally useful. Thank you Polaris office mobile. BUT now when inserting a photo in a word document you can’t easily move the the photo as once was possible…..BUT in a spreadsheet document moving a photo works perfectly. Please correct

### 3/5 — 유일무이한 한글 해제 기능 좋은데요

*2023-02-18, version 9.5.6*

요즘 시대가 어느시대인데 자동저장기능이 없나요??파일 다날림

### 3/5 — Why only 3 stars?

*2023-02-02, version 9.5.6*

I begin work on my iPad (Gen 6 fully updated) using this App, I start a new document. Next I bring up a different app (such as Google Chrome) so that I may work on gathering data to add to my new document. When I return to my new document, it closes the moment I try to switch back and I have to start over to bring it back up for access (and hope I remembered to save before I switched to Chrome for a moment).   It helps to have the “Recent Files” tab as it negates some steps, but it taxes my patience constantly.

 It would be nothing to complain about if it only happened “once in a blue moon”, but it happens every time, which gets old real fast. 

Among others, one of the rubs that I find is when I use (…)
Normally, when you see the … it looks just as you see it here.  Since the last update this (…) is higher (in the middle in relationship to the letter next to it. It does so as soon as you add the 3rd dot.  Is this a new thing in English literature? It bothers me. 

I hope this may be addressed in the next update.

### 4/5 — Polaris Office Mobile, keine Familienfreigabe

*2023-01-29*

Sehr gute App und auch etwas teuer, jedoch im Nachhinein sehr Enttäuscht, da sich die App nicht mit der Familie (Ehefrau) teilen lässt. So etwas geht schon garnicht!!! Habe daher meinen Rückzahlungsanspruch  eingelöst. Sehr Schade!!!

**Developer response:** Dear Customer, this is Polaris Office.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-02-24, version 9.7.3*

an absolutely useless app that can’t even read the most basic documents that open without any issues on all operating systems using built-in tools

### 1/5 — A system error has occurred. the app will close in five seconds

*2023-04-01, version 9.6.0*

It takes multiple retries before I do not get this error.

“A system error has occurred. the app will close in five seconds.”

I tried the support page and I get an answer in kanji.

### 1/5 — 오류 문의한 지 몇 주가 지났는데 여전하네요…

### 1/5 — Latest update a severe downgrade

### 1/5 — 카톡에서 한글문서 바로 안열림

*2021-04-15*

카톡에서 한글파일 눌러서 폴라리스 오피스 선택하면 예전에는 바로 폴라리스 오피스로 한글파일을 열어줬는데, 지금은 어플 실행만 되고 파일을 불어오지 못하네요. 이 어플 유료로 샀는데, 무료인 한글뷰어 사용 중....

### 1/5 — ファイル移動が駄目

*2021-02-18*

iPhone だとiCloudなどクラウドへファイルを移動できません。
iPadだと共有からファイルを開くことができません。
このことに問い合わせても分かりません、と来ただけ。
レビューもすぐ消すので改善の兆しもなさそうです。

### 5/5 — No need for MS Office if you have this

*2025-01-03, version 9.7.0*

I used MS Office for a long time on my iPad. But every update seemed to remove functionality, particularly in PowerPoint, to the point it became unusable. Polaris Office is excellent. A wonderful replacement. Files can be stored on the iPad, iCloud, and DropBox (and probably more.) I love this App.

### 5/5 — 수정 부탁드립니다

*2024-11-22*

너무나 잘 쓰고 있었는데, 최근 업데이트 이후, 굉장히 불편한 이슈가 생겼습니다. 엑셀에서 작업하고 카톡으로 보낼 때가 많은데, 1메가도 안 되는 파일을 300메가 이상이라고 판단하고 못 보낸다고 하는 경우가 계속 발생합니다. 그리고 (사진을 보내드리고 싶은데..ㅠ) 자기 혼자 엑셀의 형식을 바꾸어 불러오고 저장합니다. 캘린더를 만들어서 매일 짧은 메모를 하고 있는데, 년도와 날짜가 자기 멋대로 바뀌어 있습니다. 이거 보통 불편한 거 아니네요..이전에 그런 적이 없는데, 이게 무슨 일인지...꼭 좀 확인 부탁드립니다.

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 고객님, Polaris Office입니다. 이용에 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 말씀 주신 사항에 대하여, 설정 > '고객지원'을 통하여 상세한 리뷰를 남겨주실 수 있으실까요? 불편을 드리고 있는 중에 죄송하오나 스토어 리뷰에서의 정보로는 정확하게 고객님께서 사용하고 계시는 환경 등의 확인이 어려워 상세 검토 및 신속한 개선 작업을 위해 요청 드리오니 양해와 협조 부탁 드립니다. support@polarisoffice.com 메일로도 가능하오니 구체적인 사항을 남겨주시면 확인 후에 안내를 드릴 수 있도록 하겠습니다. 바쁘신 와중에 불편을 드려 죄송한 말씀을 드립니다. -Polaris Office-

### 5/5 — 너무 좋아요.

*2024-05-12, version 9.6.3*

한글과 워드 등을 동시에 사용할 수 있어서 너무 좋아요.

### 5/5 — 비용 결재 후 사용 중입니다.

*2024-04-21*

근데 왜 광고를 60+@ 초씩 보게 만들어 놓았나요?

사기인가요?

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 고객님, Polaris Office입니다. 고객님께서 이용하고 계신, Polaris Office Mobile 제품의 경우엔 구매를 하여 사용하시는 어플이기 때문에 광고가 나타나지 않는 앱입니다. 혹여 말씀주신 광고가 어떠한 광고인지  앱 내 '설정' > '고객센터'를 통해 말씀해주실 수 있으실까요?

### 5/5 — Good app

*2023-06-02, version 9.6.2*

It is a good app but it crashes often

### 5/5 — Numeric input CORRECTED with latest update

*2023-02-24, version 9.6.0*

Great app and NUMERIC keyboard now totally useful. Thank you Polaris office mobile.
This app is exceptionally useable in the spreadsheet area and EXCEL compatibility.
Give it a try.

### 5/5 — Très bon logiciel

*2023-01-28*

J’ai téléchargé beaucoup, beaucoup apps pour pouvoir utiliser les tableaux que je créais sur mon pc vers mon iPad et toujours sans succès!
Puis j’ai découvert ce fantastique logiciel. Je mets cinq étoiles pour l’ergonomie et la compatibilité mais en édition ou création directement sur iPad quatre étoiles car tout les fonctions ne sont pas présentes. 
Merci pour votre travail.

### 5/5 — Everyone Needs This App

*2023-01-14, version 9.5.6*

I’ve written a longer review but I wanted to recommend this App again. No one needs Microsoft tools. This app can do what you need. No in app fees, no subscriptions, no logins, just great functionality. Everything you’d expect from Microsoft, without the ever increasing pressure Microsoft is using to force us to buy a 360 subscription by slowly “upgrading” MS Office Mobile to do less and less without their subscription. Microsoft’s updates are actually downgrades in functionality. 

Why deal with that when everything is here in Polaris Office? I’m almost at the point of deleting MS Office entirely. When I move the files made there, I will. Polaris is the way to go on mobile.

**Developer response:** Dear Customer, this is Polaris Office. Thank you for your kind review. Polaris Office is trying to provide customers with safer and better services. If you have any other questions, please contact the Polaris Office App Launch > Settings > Customer Center. -Polaris Office-

### 5/5 — 너무좋아요

*2022-12-06, version 9.5.6*

잘 쓰고 있어요!,,
