Ratings and reviews

I will say that the app is extremely useful on the go, but not if you're using it to write. It won't let me skip to chapter headings without completely crashing the app, so I have to take five minutes to scroll through my document to get to the end of the document, and the app will close any open documents after two minutes of being on another tab, so I can't pull references while on my phone. It's extremely disappointing to me, since I've been using this app for the better part of a decade.

I use this almost every day, and for the most part it is similar to the web version so it is great for when I do not have my computer. However, I do wish deleting shared files was an option, as "removing from view" is pretty much pointless since the docs do come back. There are so many old documents I cannot delete because of this. Additionally, I wish you could add/edit summaries on mobile. But for the most part, it's a great app and I use it a lot. I just hope these two things get resolved ⚘️

While it is great to have a word-processing app like this, some recent updates have broken some things on it: 1) if you highlight text, the color that is highlighted is a very dark gray which is hard to see on my phone (white text on a black background); 2) the icon on the right side of the screen that lets you move up and down quickly in the Doc is too sensitive, since it will move suddenly even if my finger or stylus are not touching it (it is extremely distracting); 3) omitted - lack of space
