Ratings and reviews

Deleted immediately, it's just not for me. I love the UI, except that I loath the color red, but I could get over that. My issue is that I only need a word processor and only once (for about 3 days at a time) every 8 to 10 years, so a subscription model for an entire office suite just doesn't fit my needs. I'd gladely pay $150 one time fee for limited updates (security updates only, no feature updates) or something, but that's not an option so this software model would not make any sense for me.

Awesome, full desktop text editor for Android. Works great in Samsung Dex! Strangely though, it doesn't seem to work at all on normal mobile view. The window and all the elements are oversized, like it was specifically made for phone desktop modes (plugged into a monitor through a USB-C hub). Since I don't know the dev's intention or if I'm doing something wrong, I'll still give it 5 stars. It's pretty sweet.

Love the suite. Have on Chromebook and Note 20, exact same features. Both connect to Google Drive so, I can create, edit documents and keep them organized. With NexDock, I have a mobile office no matter were I am. Having the same features means total document creativity, not creativity work around with less features with Android 365. Keep up the great work, thanks for the wounderful office suite.
