Polaris Office Mobile Reviews

I actually didn’t know what to expect with his product, as there wasn’t much about it online outside of their own website. Went ahead and purchased it and I’m actually pretty surprised by how good it is. Would recommend as an Microsoft Office for iPad. JUST ONE THING I WISH WAS DIFFERENT.. how do I change the default font to what I want? If I can figure this out, definitely a 5 star app!

On April 24th, all (20+) my Polaris Office files disappeared. I dont use the cloud. My IPhone is updated with the latest released. I have tried for days to get a response on from Polaris and still no response. There is no ‘old’ directory. I had been using Polaris for several years, Im familiar with PolarisOffice . For two days the phone was sitting around with no activity. Every else on the phone works fine. Im desperate. What happened? Im computer savvy and it appears PolarisOffice auto loaded and is no longer pointing to the right directory or they put my files in sone cloud, that I never approved. I need those files.

A short review.

I am moving to Polaris office as Microsoft has made its iPad office features unusable on an iPad (presumably without a 360 subscription.)

I am only now learning the power of Polaris and am pleased

All around, this is a good app. I’ve been using Polaris Office since 2014, but now PolarisOffice doesn’t seem to have any access to the “My Polaris Drive”, and after initially setting it up, it doesn’t seem like you can go back and link it to a computer. What’s up with that? If you’re not near your computer when you 1st set up PolarisOffice , you’re out of luck? And you’re My Polaris Drive is unavailable on the 2019.

I love PolarisOffice. It just works! Anything and everything I would want to do on a desktop, all in the palm of my hand. Just needs to enhance sorting functionality; doesn’t sort all information on a sheet at the same time.

This is quite unbelievable, why I can’t jus press a file in Files and share the file to Polaris? The only way is that I save the file in a cloud which Polaris can access, then open the Polaris, then to open the file???

PolarisOffice works so well with my phone and then I can grab files and move them to my MacBook with ease!

The initial app I really enjoyed and it was very convenient but during the past two upgrades it has just randomly dropped/ failing to save or update crucial documents.

I was seriously hoping Polaris would be able to offer what Microsoft has thus far refused to...the ability to check or uncheck check boxes within an excel form. After spending the money on the download I Unfortunately see I was wrong.

Polaris Office 2019
Good all-in-one for very basic office use. Otherwise Word still the go-to. Not sure it was worth $20, some other free suites do just as much. I'm keeping it hoping for more, otherwise WPS may go back to my other fall back.

Pros
Good formatting of Word Documents
Clean Interface
Connects to online storage
Snappy
No ads

Cons
No Ruler (horizontal or vertical)
Not saving Recent documents list, if loaded from OneDrive
Does not use other loaded fonts
No single place for Paragraph formatting
Can't find a way to create or customize styles

You can’t access existing files in iCloud drive the way you can in the free version. You have to save the files there first. I bought the 2019 version thinking it would work the same way, very disappointed.

Been using PolarisOffice for 3~4 years, this is the best app so far. Thank you 👍

The program is very good but takes some time to get use to it on an I-pad

This is an incredible app but need some fixes. Please add more options to print settings;
1- Page orientation; portrait and landscape
2- Page headers
3- Paper size
4- Auto fit option.

Thank you.

Made easy to use

My iPhone updated PolarisOffice now it won’t open. I can not access my files. I tried contacting the company. They have not responded. Do I guess I lost everything. Do not use PolarisOffice. It’s worthless.

Nothing like removing a good and usable customizeable “file” interface harder to use by removing it and mixing everything together.
Major downgrade.

After you did the last update my app quit opening up.

Very disappointed
Has 100s files in iCloud but there is no access to them from the application.

UPDATE for new version (v5): Smoother than before, greater compatibility with Office, excellent features. Still testing out the plethora of features. Just need to have the company complete their on-line help guide, and PolarisOffice would be complete!

Older version (v4):
Since iOS6, my old "office" app did not work properly and was also taken over by another company. The new app is worthless, so I switched. Found Polaris, and am glad I did! I like the features of each of the applications, and it has more features than my old office app. I had a problem when I first downloaded it. The arrow keys on my bluetooth keyboard wouldn't work. I identified it to Polaris tech support, and within 24 hours...24 hours!!!...they had a fix in place and submitted to Apple. Wow! So, I just downloaded it, and it works great! So, I was able to work with each part of PolarisOffice to test it out, and it really is a nice app! Now, I can be productive again on my long train ride into work.

2019 Polaris updated & now ALL my files gone
What happened to them ..

Please tell me how to get them back

My iPhone automatically upgraded PolarisOffice to 2019 and all my 2018 files are gone!!! No explanation of how to retrieve them.
