I've paid for this 3 times!

sargon076

I've had this app since my first Palm Pilot, paid for it then, paid again for my 1st iPhone and paid again when they added features that I didn't really need but it annoyed me that the app showed up on my devices as the free version after having paid for it! Now after paying 3 times it just stops working on my iPad ? It still works on my iPhone but how long can I expect that given the track record of this developer! I've kept this app over the years out of nostalgia but the included apps from Apple are much better so I may have to just give up. I would consider paying a reasonable price for an update but when they can't manage to keep it functional it's hard to excuse that...

Fail... No stars.

I had a fully functioning version of this and, like the other reviews here, it ceased to function with an "upgrade". Very unfortunate. I now cannot edit. How can an "upgrade" wreck functionality? Make your users happy, people--don't screw them over... I will not pay again for this treatment... I only gave this one star because I had to in order to submit the review. It had 4 stars or so before the "upgrade"....

The Steal Your Documents

Humorous

I've paid for this twice. They will clear your docs after a year and force you to buy additional products just to use. DO NOT BUY THIS APP.

Free...my butt!

Billy bob Brubeck

This is supposed to be free unless WE choose to purchase one of the other two versions. Now I can't open an excel file with this "free" version so I can only surmise, by the other horrible reviews, that my word documents will stop working soon. I've already got things back up, so go ahead don't fix your app. We all will be moving on to another app and yours will become a thing of the past.

DYSFUNCTIONAL

Unfinishedwoman

I've owned the premium version of this app for at least 10 years. I have no idea what went wrong and I don't care about the specifics. I have used this for my business and vendors have been reporting that they are not receiving my documents which is a reflection on me as a professional. Now I will sync my documents elsewhere and walk away from DataViz and anything it "creates".

Bought full version - now free with intrusive ads

WeJuggle2

Would rate 0 stars if I could. I was having problems and decided to uninstall/reinstall and could only get the free one without purchasing it again.

Great app

Works great for Excel and Word. One of my most used apps on the iPad. Please add ability to use with multi-tasking (split screen)!

Getting there... Eventually

1/28/15 Invaluable application and still a solid 4 stars (and I'm a tough grader :) 3/30/14 As for all the criticism I and many others have given DTG, I just want to reiterate how incredibly useful and powerful a product it is, especially for a hand-held device. Sure, it has its flaws, but I've been managing much of a small business (with many personal uses as well) for several years and have yet to find another product that even comes close. So I hope it keeps improving and people keep purchasing it. 2/13/14 Once again, I can't believe that a spreadsheet viewed in landscape ends up with maybe one-third of the actual spreadsheet contents visible at a time, while other UI elements take up all the other space, with no way to collapse or hide those other elements and no full-screen option (other than the setting to open in full screen view mode, which just reverts to the normal view mode after entering edit mode). I'm not sure what the best solution would be, but I'd start with losing the extra, useless margin in the sheet selector, and possibly shrink the top bar and tool bar a little? And perhaps a way to intuitively hide and show certain UI elements? 1/26/14 What?! Cannot copy a cell or range of cells from one spreadsheet to another? Really?? 10/1/13 Ability to star/unstar documents in Recent tab is GONE, yet files still seem to retain their previous starred status. PLEASE FIX. 9/7/13 Open In function has been restored. Also, it seems odd that the top bar in the app is a bit higher than necessary. 9/6/13 A year later and not really much of an upgrade in terms of features, but some UI changes that may prove welcome in time. At least the app has still been solid for me, and Dropbox connection still works fine. As for INSERT/DELETE spreadsheet rows and columns, the functions are still there, but just a little hidden: you need to tap and hold a row or column selector to access row/column editing options, but good luck if you have a short row or narrow column, in which case you'll probably just end up in row/column resizing mode, unless perhaps if you have tiny fingers. As for the new sheet selector/tabs in the spreadsheet component, it's really nice to have quick access to worksheets, but then the tabs take up so much of minimal screen space (including the extra space under the tabs which seems wasted). A simple menu option or swipe gesture (or both) to show/hide the sheet selector would probably be a good solution. 10/5/12 Another seemingly POINTLESS ANNOYANCE is that the Cloud tab often randomly (?) reverts to the root directory. It is also unclear how the app determines which files to sync or how many subdirectory levels to check. It certainly doesn't scan and compare them all—likely to increase efficiency—but a file in another directory or subdirectory may have been opened via the very handy Recent tab and then modified, but then doesn't sync when selecting the Cloud tab, resulting in not-infrequent sync conflicts. 6/24/12 Another feature missing that is present in Excel is conditional formatting. What a welcomed addition to DTG that would be. 3/8/12 Do you know what the best thing about Quickoffice is? It generally makes me appreciate this product a lot more. Make that 3-AND-A-HALF stars... No, I'll even go FOUR. For now... 5/3/11 It's a little ridiculous that an entire folder, subfolders and files can't be synced in a one-step, manual process like every other Dropbox-connected app I have. The auto-sync of every folder on access really degrades usability. DataViz, please see "ReaddleDocs" and "GoodReader" for examples of Dropbox integration done right :) 4/27/11 Dropbox integration works fine for me, but the constant refreshing of content is SO annoying and inefficient. How about a setting for manual/auto refresh? 9/15/10 Also, the changes to the spreadsheet formula bar a few updates ago are somewhat detrimental to usability. 1. There is no longer an X in the text box to clear the contents in one step which was very handy. 2. The automatic expansion of the text box to multi-line is annoying and would be better if it expanded only when needed (content-dependent?). 3. The expanded text box in landscape makes it impossible to access other cells or navigate the sheet as was possible before. Still no ability to create spreadsheet CELL BORDERS. Maybe if I asked nicely? Who knows?

No Phone Support ... Not a Smart Move

AlwaystheAnalyst

I was getting ready to purchase the premium version but cannot ask questions or get info about my activation key except online. It may be old school thinking, however I am not comfortable purchasing a product when they will not provide phone support if necessary. Wow ... it's a shame too, because I've had Docs to Go since at least 2001 when it was offered on Palm Pilots. I guess it's good bye and I'll have to go with another product.

It no longer works at all. Totally worthless.
