Docs To Go Standard

I just got this app today and it was only $8 on the memorial day sale. I've been using it all day on excel and word files and it's been great. I've got it synced to my desktop to a folder with personal files and synced to my laptop to a folder with work files. I've worked on several files from both sources and it's synced back perfectly. I've also synced to an email, changed that file and emailed it to myself. Perfect. I really think that the people having syncing problems are suffering from a case of operator error. Your device needs to be on the same wireless network as the computer you are syncing to. I was using another app the other day that syncs the same way. I couldn't get it to work and was getting mad. Then I realized my desktop was patched to my wired router. I switjed the patch cord to a port on the wireless router and bingo...so before you write a bad review with 1 star, be sure you know what you are talking about. It blows my mind how many stupid people own smart phones. This app is awesome on the iPod touch and I'm sure equally so on the iPad. For those complaining about it's value on the iPad, why don't you wait until an actual iPad app is availible. I'm sure it will be awesome.

This is exactly what I needed to take my creative writing projects on-the-go. All I needed was a way to edit and write into my works in progress while traveling and during my other downtime -- this app is just perfect for that. I work on a document on my computer, save it, sync Documents to Go with my iPhone, edit and write when I can, then sync when I get back. I used to do the same thing using Documents to Go on the Palm Treo and was lamenting that I hadn't found something with the same functionality for iPhone -- then someone suggested Documents to Go for iPhone! Without this app, I would need to lug my laptop around everywhere, and then I probably still wouldn't get the same amount of editing and writing done on the road. I love this app, but it's not perfect. Every now and then I get annoyed by needing to hit multiple buttons to get to something I want (for instance, the keyboard) and it is a little annoying that it does not sync with a folder inside a folder that it is set to sync to. When I'm working on a long document, it doesn't save my place when I close the app and reopen it, so I lose some time finding my place again. Like I said, I am really only using this app for editing Word documents, and it's pretty great for that. I definitely think it was worth the $10 I paid for it.

I am a writer and use my iphone as my journal of ideas, line and scenes that pop into my head spontaneously. So when I found this app I was genuinely excited and rather impressed despite the steep cost, when compared to other apps. The wireless syncing was great and easy and I could use my iphone even more instead of my bulky laptop. Just pull out the phone, jot down the notes and be done. But soon there after the gleam and shimmer of the app soon faded. Not only does it have many of the functional problems already visited by other reviews, but the desktop application for syncing is one of the most frustrating pieces of software I've ever worked with! Many times I'll come home and go to sync my notes and thoughts gathered through the day only to find the frick'n thing wont even launch. It took me some time to figure out that I had to remove it manually, all the way down to left over register files, and THEN reinstall it in order to get the thing functioning again. Only thing is this is a consistent problem and I have lost many pages of notes and writing due to it. The main reason I bought this app is b/c I don't always have 3g or wifi access to use Google docs and the ability to syncing via wifi EASILY was to be a great help... If I had spent 2-5 dollars on this I don’t think I'd be as frustrated as spending 10 to find this problem still consistently plaguing their community.

I was expecting more from DataViz, it doesn"t even have password protection, or atleast i cannot find how to do it, and your e-mail support leaves a lot to be desired by the time you go though all the steps, that take you everywhere but the right place, i just say enough and go to a more friendlly doc storage like Readdle or AirSharing. Needless to say trying to figure out the wireless sync feature is an exercise in futility. Maybe some future up-dates will help i hope so. But i really do not understand their lack of a support feature, unless of course you want to pay for it for such a well known Company it appears that iphone owners are being treated as un-important, DocTo Go really needs to rethink their support policy. I need to make a retraction i judged this app prematurely, it does what it says it will and does it very well, it has been well worth the wait. But there are still 2 things that need to be adressed by DataViz #1 there needs to be password protection added, and also much easier tech support, other then that this is the greatest. Maybe the next update could include these PLEASE. When this happens i will rate it a 5 star app. And of course the ability to edit Exel spreadsheets.

I purchased this app instead of Quickoffice because I liked the look of the interface better. It did not disappoint! The interface works great and easy to use. However, DocsToGo is missing some key features that it really needs if I am going to integrate it into my work life: - Support for CAPS lock on the keyboard - Support for hyperlinks (maybe it is there and I am just not seeing it yet?), including retention of hyperlinks when text is copied from Safari, if possible - Option to create new documents in a basic sans serif font, such as Arial - Support for copying images from Photos/E-Mail/Safari and pasting them into the application (I tried pasting a photo from my iPhone's camera roll, but it just pasted the file name instead) - Is there an option for page breaks? (If so, I haven't seen it yet) - Ability to save e-mail attachments into the application for editing (from whatever accounts are already set up on your iPhone) - Support for syncing with the desktop via USB cable ... I know Apple doesn't allow developers to do this right now, but I think DataViz and other developers who would benefit need to lobby Apple to make this possible So much potential in this app! DataViz has laid a good foundation. If they add the above features, I think it will be an incredible resource for work on the go.
