Documents Pro, Download & Edit Reviews

by Excellent714

This is a mess of an app. They work on confusion at this company. I have Documents and Documents Pro which I thought I paid for. When they bug me to rate it, I get to see these people have two apps with the same name “Documents Pro” and both have the identical icon in App Store and in desktop. Regardless which it is, it just does nothing. It takes me to other storage apps and then sits there with no button or anything to upload to anyplace. I see no difference with the other Documents app they make and wonder why I have two of this worthless app?
Even worse it does not take you or allow you to go back to DocumentsProDownloadEdit I tried to use this mess from. I am forced to close this out and then hope to find the page I was on.

DO NOT USE DocumentsProDownloadEdit PAID OR FREE!!

by Fuzzy Logician

I rarely need to create a major document, but I wanted to make one that was a little too much for Notes. I had used this a year or so ago and didn’t have bad memories of it. Possibly if I spent enough time with it, If my bad experience was due to ignorance? But I have no desire to do so. And I don’t want to waste any more time on it, so a quick list:
After switching to another program, I have to start from the top when I go back to it.
It shows a lot of destinations (like DropBox) but I couldnt find a way to use them.
After I took the Rich Text out, the file still had the .rtf extension in the listing. While editing the file itself, it showed .txt
Other stuff, mostly minor, but which depleted my vocabulary of cuss words.
And soon after beginning, it wanted to know if I liked the program. I could only continue by answering “yes” or “no”. Being generally polite, I answered “yes”. It thanked me for my five star review. I did not feel so polite after that.
Won’t be using it again.

DocumentsProDownloadEdit was my go-to for scanning in documents on the go. Sure, the scans didn’t look quite as nice as when you scanned them in on an actual scanner, but DocumentsProDownloadEdit did a good job of capturing the document and making it look like a legitimate scan. But they must have updated DocumentsProDownloadEdit and changed the camera capture settings somehow, because now it just looks like a crappy photo, and in fact I can take much nicer photos on my phone with the regular camera, but of course don’t have the advantage of converting them to PDFs. The scan feature was the only reason I used DocumentsProDownloadEdit, and now that that feature is broken, I will be deleting it. Disappointing!

I’ve been using DocumentsProDownloadEdit happily for quite a while. It has had its bugs, but with this latest update, the formatting completely fell apart. The colors used in formatting are a disgusting hue - very ugly and since you can’t see the font through them, useless! It’s obviously a bug. I very much depend on the formatting options. After the update, my files were all changed to white font on a black background. This is really the only combination of colors that is useful now, and I don’t like it at all. Looking for another app, but hoping your developers will fix this disaster before I am forced to change.

I have been using Documents Pro for several years on my iPhone and iPad. After updating today, all of my documents are white text on a black background. If I copy the text and paste it in Microsoft Word it is still white. Printing a document is still white text. I am using IOS 15.1.2. I have many important documents that are suddenly rendered useless. Please help.

Documents Pro v15.2, updated 19 January 2022, only seems to work in dark mode. It cannot be changed to light mode regardless of what setting is on the iPhone.

When you try to change the font type or size in an rtf file, the font list and sizes are in black so you cannot read them. If you randomly tap one, it automatically switches back to the document, but the font is in black. You have to guess at the location of the wording in the doc to highlight it so you can change it to white since DocumentsProDownloadEdit is stuck in dark mode.
__________
Handiest app for text notes and simple spreadsheets. Positives: - it is super quick to open, save, etc., without cumbersome formatting. - best app for quick notes in a variety of files. Negatives: - it closes automatically when not in the foreground after a few minutes on my iPhone 6 and data not saved is lost. - there is not a search function for words or phrases in large text or rtf files; - text and csv files are Read Only (not Read Write) when uploaded to Dropbox or MS Onedrive; - rtf files cannot be opened by MS Word when uploaded to Dropbox or MS OneDrive.

From what I see only docs on icloud will be readable or viewed. All other locations require you to download, which then gets defaulted to icloud. I wanted this for use if possible to transfer from OneDrive to GoogleDrive stuff.
It appears that for 5.00 one can buy from this Developer an ap called Something exactly as this with the exception of the letter 's' on the end. Even then it will you to pay a subscription fee on a schedule to go into the "extra features". So it appears for free you can see the filenames in multiple storage places but not even use this as a go to apt to even see clearly anything. Everything is either inactive or blurred. I thought perhaps the ap will need some prolonged time period to sync my files across the different apps I have given permission. Should that be the case I will change my review somewhat. But initially I'm at the point of paying the $5.00 just to hope for a multi use platform and hope I can sync or transfer between them. Not so transparent as I can tell. There is Marketing for You!

I have had DocumentsProDownloadEdit for years and it has always worked well for me until just recently. I found it easy to use and it had iCloud backup. I use it to store all my recipes. Recently, I had an issue. DocumentsProDownloadEdit would not open. I ended up downloading DocumentsProDownloadEdit again and did a restore. I have DocumentsProDownloadEdit set up to save everything in iCloud. I double checked that this was the case. I lost over half of my recipes. This is over 10 years worth of work gone down the tubes. In settings, iCloud is set to backup. When I go into iCloud Documents Pro is not there to restore. What’s up with that? I am so very disappointed and upset.

In the past, I would have rated this five stars, but after the upgrade, now whenever I save, up pops an AD, to delay my work, and then n option to pay for no ads. Just may delete the program if they don’t remove the upgrade that changed the great program I have enjoyed.

I really like my Document Pro. I have used Doc Pro for years and have it on my iPad and iPhone love it.

I use it to keep scripts and schedules on my phone in case I ever forget the physical copies. It’s saved me more than once.

I needed to copy and email a quote to a customer and didn't have access to a copy machine and DocumentsProDownloadEdit allowed me to do that. Love it!

If you use several online storage places, BUY this!

I've been using DocumentsProDownloadEdit almost a decade and I would recommend it to any and all, novice or pro.

This is a great app for meetings. I download as many as twenty separate documents for committee meetings, these include multilayered spreadsheets and reports composed of several pages.

by Willeto1106

It allows you to do almost everything what the regular office does... and opens on all kind of docs...

by Pug2Luv

I love using your program to be able to store and send docs through my email...thank you!

I use DocumentsProDownloadEdit to keep all my song lyrics in one place. It's easy to use and has never let me down. I recommend it to everyone

by MVLDR

I love it overall. However, I wish the documents can close by automatically updating what was out in without asking to save every time I open it.

This is a great Editor that I enjoy so much. It's amazing that you can transfer files from PC to iPhone and vise versa though Wifi. The support is excellent too and it's free!
