Document reader has helped me open obscure files. I have no idea why files haven't been simply made uniform and then we wouldn't need a different " can opener" to open triangle cans. just make all cans round. (ex.) there have been times I have exhausted all other programs before I remember to use this simple and accessible tool. thanks!

2024 last review, app was usable and now I see why I can't find 1(one) saved artical, watch a ad find a document? doesn't work and I don't believe I have anything left! you may as well remove it because it show's a 0 next to any file look's like you or Google deleted my videos and documents since you're a 3rd party app Google will probably remove it anyway, uninstalled after year's

Don't worry — your files are NOT deleted. On Android 11+, the app needs "All files access" to read them; if it's off, files show as empty (0). Fix: open the app and allow "Access to all files" (Settings → Apps → Document Reader → Permissions). They'll reappear. Still missing? Email [support] and we'll help. Thank you!

It opened, but then showed, as far as I could tell, totally bottom-of-the-directory stack, with no way to choose between phone memory and card memory, and I couldn't get it to the top-of-the-directory-stack from low down in a stack.

What’s new

Every feature is now unlimited - no daily caps on annotations, conversions, scanning, editing or archives.

Fixed: creating a ZIP from search results produced no archive.
Fixed: a Loading indicator could stay on screen over a document that had already opened, and could not be dismissed.
