ONLYOFFICE Documents

As a free (and open-source software I believe?) alternative to all the commercial office suites, OnlyOffice does a good job. I do suggest that the app maker and offer better integration with the Files app and include into their menu the ability to open files that are not already saved into the application, similar to the “open local file” option on the Mac version. All in all, thank you and keep up the good work.

Too many complaints for such a good service. This is a business service that when used properly for business it takes the whole run for it. Now for those using it on a personal level of course there will be things you don’t like BUT acknowledge that this company is doing a really good job on expanding there service to be personally supported and they frequently update for that selection of users. Comparing onlyoffice to every other company ever I love the privacy. This company doesn’t sell your info or do any funny business. They provide a service and a good one at that and there are no other issues besides lacking features. Comparing this to google docs I’d choose onlyoffice because once you go google you’re signing a contract that let’s go of all of your private anonymous identity if that. Aside from that this company provides a free version which allows you to manage your stored documents from your device. You pay if you want to sync all your devices along with being able to work with someone else at the same time. Don’t think and say “ google does this for free “ because that’s nonsense they do it for mobile identity domination. You can’t just sign off your online identity just because it’s free. Pay to support innovative companies that are secure.

It is very unstable. I start to use this cross-platform office alternative because I have windows PC in the office, Ubuntu PC at home and a ubuntu laptop in the cleanroom. I record all my experiments processes and results in a spreadsheet. Then, it crashed yesterday when I tried to use this app in my iphone. The worst thing is that even I am sure I saved it each time when I finished it and reopened the file when i wanted to modify it (of course, because I work in 3 different computers and an iphone). After it crashed, everything went to zero. The file is restored to its original version which is empty when I create it on 9/3. Interesting, why shouldn’t it simply be the most recent version. That should be most straightforward. The data is really really important for me, and it takes another 3 days to measure it. It can be a general bug for recent onlyoffice software or only a bug of this iOS version app. But anyway, I will not use it any more. It is really a disaster. This is the first time I want to give a zero star.

I suppose if, in 2019, you’re looking for the very basic word processor you might have expected on the ipad in 2009, then this would likely be satisfying. It has features like editing text and formatting text. It can also access cloud services, which can be handy. However, it is lacking any and all collaborative features, such as commenting and tracking changes. So, if you’re using it like I am mainly because of the cloud-based nature of OnlyOffice, you’ll likely be very disappointed like I am. Unfortunately I have seen no progress over the last year in this regard. The developers don’t seem to think that people use iPads for “real” work - so they give us this watered down version where you could perhaps do a few little tweaks to your document. I had high hopes for just using the online web-based version of onlyoffice with the new iPad OS, but alas, that doesn’t work either. There are still too many glitches - and showstoppers such as it not saving the changes made - that make that unusable. For me that means I keep paying for a Microsoft subscription, and keep using that whenever I want to do any real work on my documents on the road. I do hope the OnlyOffice developers figure out that the iPad is a REAL computing device (with more processor power than many laptops), and support it as such.

This app absolutely has potential, it’s promising, but it has a few things to fix. First of all, I was hoping to replace both Google Docs and Microsoft Word app with this one because it was featured in an article that it has a better privacy policy than Google, but it is not optimized for mobile. It shows me the desktop-like version with tiny letters, despite being a mobile app version. The Microsoft Word Mobile app, for example, has a “Mobile View” option in its settings; OnlyOffice can possibly adapt that feature into its app.
