Ratings and reviews

I like this app, but it glitches and will combine and remove words randomly when editing documents. Frustrating. It has done this on three separate android phones and continues to be an issue over several years. Also, so help me, God, put the smart lookup / dictionary feature back on the mobile version if we are not getting access to whatever AI "tool" that is being embedded. It sucks having to switch between apps when the feature was so useful.

Really nice to be able to access documents on mobile. However, there are a few glitches that make editing documents difficult. When selecting a place to type in the middle of preexisting text, it will suddenly replace the previous few words with nonsense. It happens almost every time and is very frustrating. Sometimes when switching between apps, typing will suddenly be blank, and then the whole document will be blank as well. It requires closing and reopening the app to resolve.

This app used to function well. I've used it for several years without incident. About 6-9 months ago, the undo function disappeared while you were editing, forcing you to back out of editing mode to undo, which disrupts the flow of writing. Extremely annoying, but backspace still works, so I worked around that. Now, it's lost access to "smart lookup." Yes, I've got the AI copilot app installed. Yes, I've looked at the documents through that app. No. It doesn't have these functions anymore. 😒🙄
