F for effort – FileOpen Viewer Review

I have never seen an app that looks like it had less effort put into creating it than this one. It looks like someone put it together in an afternoon using an Apps for Dummies book. The only interface is a button that lets you type or paste in the full address for a document. If you're in landscape mode when you do that, the keyboard comes is sideways (it's still in portrait mode while the rest of the app is landscaped). Or you can transfer a document from elsewhere using "Open in..." But there's no way to browse to a document, or use Dropbox or iCloud or anything like that. When viewing a PDF, all you can do is scroll and zoom. There's no search, no markup, no way to view multiple pages at once. No instructions or help is available. And when things don't work, you get a not-so-helpful message like "Error 9006". If you're considering FileOpen DRM with an eye towards iPad use, I suggest looking at another DRM option.
