Wont Open At All!!!

The last two "updates" have made this app useless! Crashes before it gets past the opening app screen. Awful!

5.3.3 Broken

This was a great app! It worked flawlessly. This update is terrible. It will not sync properly. It skips files, requires multiple syncs to even add folders. Spend your money elsewhere because it is a total ripoff!

Total ripoff

I purchased this software a couple of years ago and recent upgrades turned it in to a free version with many in app purchases and most of my existing spreadsheets, used on my iPad in a couple of cases for a over a year, changed to LOCKED due to unsupported functions. I will not be looking for alternatives.

Essentially useless

This app doesnt walk you through how to use it. I would have no problem figuring that out on my own if it didnt crash with every button I attempt to click on. I can do absolutely nothing with this app. What a bummer.

Disappointing

This used to be a great application, after the last update it is useless and does not sync with my Laptop or any other device. Do not buy until they fix this problem otherwise you will have an application only by name which does not work.

Do not waste your time

$17.00 Adobe .pdf reader. Will not sync iCloud. Locks average multi tab .xls spreadsheets because it cannot translate blank cells where simple data entry is required - like: name, date, interest rate, etc - BASIC info transfers to other tabs. This makes it useless for financials: IRR, NPV, DCF. Their documentation says these functions are supported - but no info on how to resolve issue of locked file. Cannot open / do not pass go / save your $.

not syncing

the app does not Sync with iCloud, contacted them but no reply.

Waste of money.

Paid good money for this and now there are ads. It was barely worth it at $5, theres NO WAY you should pay $15! Deleting this now.

Long time user

The new update fixed the cursor issue for 6 plus Good job

Nope!

Nope. Youre not allowed to say an app is optimized for the iPhone 6 if youre not taking advantage of the new resolution.

Almost, but...

I have had this product for years. I upgraded and paid for the Cloud version last month. Today, with their latest upgrade my Docs to Go now appears directly on my PC on my iCloud. Yay! HOWEVER, I CANNOT UPLOAD ANY FILES TO MY FOLDER. I get "error". They were so close, but just NO. Why release when you are not testing first. Another BAD flaw is that you cannot use the Tab key when entering data into their spreadsheet. You get a message, "Tabs to supported, YET". Funny, but another NO. Sorry, but please make improvements.

iPhone 6+ edit probem

Ive used this app for years. New iPhone 6+ new ios8. Had curser problem offset so you cant edit. Now Fixed in version 5.2.4 everything is great again! Thank you for the fast update.

The best ios Office app.

Now that theyve fixed the problems with using this app on a 6 Plus, its great--the only app with a desktop sync option. It automatically reflows text for easy viewing when you zoom in, and it has a scroll bar that allows you to quickly get to the end of the document.

Broken

On startup, it tries to get me to log into Box (which I dont even have) and then crashes. Every time. I guess were the beta testers. :(

Buh Bye

Now that Microsoft has beefed up their iOS apps, this one has been deleted from my devices. Not that I was using it over the last year or two, kept around for “just in case” scenarios. Several years ago, bought the at the time Premium Pack equivalent. Next release, they dropped everything in that for current pricing scheme, so, had to rebuy cloud access. That got me ticked off. Spreadsheets (my main focus), didn’t support cross sheet referencing, lots of formula support was missing (all of which the free Numbers did much better). Only supported the weak/old/impotent encryption. But now that I get an almost 100% compatible Office for my simple needs away from the desktop for free, with Dropbox support, DtG is no longer on my devices. Pity, I’ve been using this since my Palm Pilot days (Palm V on).

Not optimized for iPhone 6 & 6 Plus

The app is NOT optimized for the higher resolution screens of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, despite their claim in the update notes.

Good, but could be great

Its a four star product for what it does. I like the easy and functional pinch zoom for referencing my .doc and .xls files -- handy for older eyes now. I like that it syncs easily with Dropbox, keeping my edits in multiple places. I like that it is mostly stable, too. The only real flaw I can whine about is lack of printing. I rely more and more on paper copies of the docs it manages for me. The send icon takes me to a screen where I can open in other apps, such as Reader, or to airdrop, but not to email the document, or text the document, or AirPlay to our networked hp m127 in the office? Sure, I can open dropbox on one of the macs or pcs, open the file, and print from there, but the power of these i-devices is the increasingly common stand-alone functionality. My iPhone or iPad is nearly replacing my laptop computer for a large percentage of my office and business needs. That is the evolution of these devices. Print output and sharing beyond Airdrop is rather vital, and a huge part of the reason this isnt a 5-star app. I dread looking elsewhere for a solution… hope DataViz has something exciting up its sleeve with the next release.

Goodbye Dataviz! Hello Microsoft Office!

Ive been a Dataviz customer dating all the way back to the PalmPilot! This means Ive owned countless iterations of their product. When I paid for Docs To Go for the iPhone, it was the only option out there to view Word documents. Even then it seemed like it was second rate. For them to charge an additional fee to email, or to use any sort of cloud service with your documents made me feel like it was some sort of difficult task to program. Alas, I never paid extra for this additional service because I feel like Ive already paid too much for the app. That being said, three or four years ago this app was a solid three stars. But now its 2015 and Microsoft has their own legit office apps for the iPhone. And the thing is these Microsoft apps are not only FREE but theyre way better then the premium choices that are in the App Store! When you add a better product along with cloud support for One Drive its a no-brainer that you would just use Microsofts real Office products instead of paying a third-party dev for a lesser product. Thanks Dataviz, the past 14 years have been a good run.

Got bumped to free for new update.

Ive had Docs to Go for a few years now. I paid $10 for it, but with the last update I got bumped to the free version. All of the sudden with this latest update there are ads that Ive never had before. They pop up WHILE EDITING! I was at work and typing and all of the sudden an ad with video pops up. And I would have to pay an additional $17 to get rid of the ads. Not happy about that at all. I just downloaded Word and it is so much better for so many reasons. This one is getting deleted.

Needs an update!

Has worked well, in previous iOS versions but has some bugs in iOS 8. Really needs some development improvement!!!
