Desktop is way better

This app is horrible by comparison to the desktop version. It’s barely usable and has a terrible UI. please update this Zoho!!!

Update Failed

“An error occurred while updating the app. You can use the app only after the error is rectified. Please contact the support team.” Consider yourself contacted. Not much better than the web anyways

App glitches

Really glitchy. I downloaded this as a substitute to Google Docs as my Google account expired, but this has very limited editing. I have to copy and paste from other places to get what I want, and every time I try typing, it either doesn’t work or the keyboard goes away. Haven’t tried the browser version yet, but I wouldn’t recommend the app. I also can’t find the ways to change text size, font, and format, so I am stuck with whatever happens when I paste it in. Really wouldn’t recommend the app.

Please fix this

I used to love this app because it would allow me to reread and review lengthy documents from the comfort of my cell phone. After the last update three weeks ago it now lags and crashes when I try to open larger documents. Help please!

Not What is Should be

This app allows you do work offline but that is all it does. If you need to the formatting features in the online version, they are not there AT ALL. So unless you want to use it as a very basic notebook, this will not do what you want. Very disappointed with the lack of feature available. I hope they work on this soon to improve it. I need an offline version of this to incorporate this product as part of my companies ecosystem.
