Ratings and reviews

I like the desktop version (in fact it's my default writing program now), but the app is borderline unusable. To sum up my review in one word, I'd say lag. It's insanely laggy - even just trying to read through a doc, not even typing anything! Though that's not to say it isn't plenty laggy typing and back spacing too. If you write primarily from your phone (or tablet), save yourself the frustration and look anywhere else.

Genuinely terrible now. Zoho works amazingly through browser in desktop app but this mobile app? It used to work PERFECTLY a long while ago, but now? It's incredibly laggy to the point I can't type out even one word and when adding words or punctuation to fix up sentences it tends to migrate to the end of the sentence and often times the end document.

Ooo...okay, I'm in the process of searching for a doc app that has hanging indentation (yk, not indenting the entire paragraph) and when I figured out it was impossible, I went along. However, I noticed it was slow and lagging, and I also noticed there were no settings for...anything, so I was properly blinded for the one minute I used it.
