### 2/5 — Not an easy use at all.

*2024-10-02*

I spent my money and got so frustrated I went back in and bought something else. As with any program, if you use it long enough, you gain usage skills. After using complicated spreadsheets for decades, I got more frustration out of this than anything else. If you have no experience, I guess it works. Very disappointed.

### 3/5 — Used to love it, now not so much...

*2020-07-04, version 8.0.3*

The new auto-save feature is a pain in the butt. I no longer can use templates because the app auto saves every entry. Other than that it’s a good spreadsheet app.

### 4/5 — Mr Parsons

*2019-08-08, version 7.3.4*

Since update when editing cells to different colours and saving, does not always save certain cells when reopening, eg have to resave.

### 4/5 — Basic but very reliable

*2019-02-25, version 7.3.4*

I only need a basic spreadsheet and this fits the bill perfectly. It never crashes and never loses data after many years of use on an iPad. The last update corrects the keyboard mis-alignment for the iPad Pro.

### 3/5 — Help

*2018-11-17, version 7.3.4*

I have not found the help file. Hopefully that has the solutions to the issues I am having.

### 4/5 — Like old keyboard better... it was bigger

*2018-09-01*

Could I please get the old (bigger) keyboard back somehow? Otherwise the new design is OK. Although I was quite happy with the old one.
UPDATE: Changing to add another star since there is now a larger keyboard option. YAY! And thanks so much for listening.

**Developer response:** It's back!  As of v 7.2.1 you can enable the larger keyboard from the Settings app.

### 4/5 — Discount spreadsheet

*2018-08-17*

.....is well worth the price . It could still do without the tiny number keyboard though.

**Developer response:** Thanks!  We just released an update with an option (in the Settings app) to hide the number keyboard.

### 2/5 — Previous Working View

*2018-08-08*

Latest update has problem of opening at the top of the spreadsheet.  In previous versions after saving, I could return at a later time to the last edited cell by highlighting the cell below my last entry in a column, then hitting the “Home” button on my phone or tablet to get out of the app.  Now, after opening, I have to scroll down hundreds of cells every time to continue working where I left off.  Very poor attention to convenience by the app developer.

**Developer response:** Should be fixed as of v 7.2.1.  Let us know if you still have issues.

### 4/5 — Like the old design a lot better!!! ( earlier than version 7 )

*2018-07-31*

Is there any way I can get the old version again ( earlier than 7 ). I liked the design of it a lot better. The new layout is more cluttered.

### 3/5 — Update

*2018-07-30, version 7.0*

Since the UI update, if I’m editing a cell with multiple numbers, I can no longer return to the start of that cell. 
Could this be addressed ?

### 3/5 — Review of spreadsheet

*2017-07-06, version 6.3*

Useful little tool for quick trial, simple graph drawing, away from wifi . Takes a lot of pressEs to change things but it works.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2024-12-31*

Functions kick you out of the program

### 1/5 — No headers makes it practically useless

*2024-07-17*

Unless you are an expert at functions and formulas this app is useless!  Lotus 123 had more information.   Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Printing process totally broken.

*2022-12-11*

I am unable to print from this app anymore. Sent in comments but no reply. Bought the PRO version and the same thing happens. I get the first print screen, but when it goes to the details print option the screen does not stay to make any changes.

### 1/5 — Not Worth the money

*2022-04-21*

Bought it because it claimed to do so much and glowing reviews, but when opened it appears extremely limited. Google Sheets blows this app away with templates and onscreen controls, etc.

### 1/5 — Recent update crashes at open, lost all files

*2020-08-09*

Lost all files,,, app crashes on opening

### 1/5 — Everything lost!

*2020-07-02, version 8.0.2*

Following the latest update, all my saved spreadsheets have disappeared! Not very happy at all!!!

### 1/5 — NOT WORKING!

*2019-12-31*

NOT WORKING! ALL PREVIOUS DATA LOST! APP WON’T OPEN!

### 1/5 — Does not sort properly

*2019-08-15*

App unable to sort properly. Had to use Numbers.

### 1/5 — New version problems

*2018-08-21, version 7.2*

Was a great app but since the upgrade always get error with file if you send file to it🙁

### 1/5 — Can not delete spreadsheets

*2017-10-08*

Zero

### 5/5 — Handy as can be.

*2023-10-01*

I have this app on my phone and iPad. I do everything from grocery lists to regiment investments. Great to have such a easy clean interface.

**Developer response:** Thanks copier guy!

### 5/5 — So Handy.

*2023-01-04, version 8.0.5*

I do everything with this spreadsheet. Retirement investments to grocery list. It does it all.

**Developer response:** Thanks copier guy!

### 5/5 — Very functional, but…

*2022-02-20, version 8.0.5*

I like it. Very functional & CHEAP. But there is little explanation of what to do to nake its functions work. It requires DIY investigating (and a lot of trial & error) to figure out how to correctly operate it, which is not always obvious/intuitive. It's an app that is perhaps more suited to pre-Windows users who can cope without easy graphic interfaces telling them what to do to get the result they want.

### 5/5 — Utility Spreadsheet Pro Ver 8.0.3

*2020-07-09*

I’ve been using this spreadsheet utility for several years to keep up with my banking check writing and account balancing.  Program is easy to use, formatting for cash, color formatting for keeping transactions uniform is a breeze.  Recommendation as 5 stars for users that may be spreadsheet challenged.
Only 1 regret, the latest iteration removed the “save as” function which was handy in keeping dual copies as backup copies of extensive files.  My eventual workaround is a bit more labor intensive than with “save as” function.  I would like this function restored.

**Developer response:** Just released v 7.2.1 which should address these issues.  Let us know if you have any more problems.

### 5/5 — Great Spreadsheet

*2019-11-30, version 7.3.6*

I use for my budget planner. Easy & Powerful. Wish it was also available on Android phones. Can backup to Dropbox.

### 5/5 — Great, fast spreadsheet

*2018-07-23, version 6.5*

7/22/18 update - still the fastest, slickest little spreadsheet app I know of.

I love this app and use it on both the iPad and the iPhone. There's a brief learning curve as you accustom yourself to the interface, but it's quick and efficient to work with, once you're used to it. 

Three wishes:
1) date math!
2) syncing between devices
3) password protect individual files/worksheets. 

The developer has responded quickly and considerately the couple times I've reached out to him.

If it would do date math, I'd be able to use it for even more.

### 5/5 — Best spreadsheet

*2017-06-10*

I love this app ! So simple to use! Don't ever leave me!!!

### 5/5 — Great basic spreadsheet app

*2016-12-15*

I've been using this app for years for my monthly budget tracking and many other things. It works great!

### 5/5 — Works for me

*2016-11-14, version 6.3*

Good little app that gets job done.

### 5/5 — Great Spreadsheet

*2016-10-29*

Works well for me. I use it to keep up with health issues, and for keeping up with some business interests.
