Polaris Office - PDF & Docs

This software was very practical for me specially for the need of having a package of office apps which can work and function similar to Microsoft Office products but I purchased the premium yearly subscription with a double discount offered to me as a Asus PC user and for being a temporary paid customer in the past. So for what I paid for and what this software is capable to do specially with a magnificent feature of synchronize option on any device you install this app makes me super happy. But there is a few downsides that I noticed in comparison with M.S office and that is what they need to work more and harder to fix a few bugs on this product and makes it even better.

I somehow end of with most of my reviews that title. 🤨 So polaris office seemed amazing from the screenshots: PowerPoint, Excel, and Word all in one. Plus it syncs easily with mobile. But on pc version I get ads when all polaris office things are closed. I understand you aren't as rich as Microsoft and with out subscription you have to have ads. But do you need to advertise when I'm in the middle of fortnite? Or stop my typing when there's a new ad? Another problem (not ad related somehow) it doesn't respond well to SwiftKey on mobile or the regular ios keyboard for that matter and when you go back over it and make corrections, it removes one character in front of the one you added. Honestly, unless it's updated, you're better off with Microsoft Office, or the Apple ripoffs. (Pages keynote and numbers) BTW I looked at the other reviews the dev responses are just copy paste lies so don't bother

I really wanted to love this app, as I'm dealing with serious memory limitations on my ancient phone. I tried to make a document with 2 images and literally 2 lines of text, yet I couldn't save it due to repeated error messages (-1). I was already annoyed by the images disappearing. The ads are super annoying too. I am totally willing to financially support apps... the trial version should not be annoyingly full of ad popups, though. Why would that leave me feeling confident in the app? I know it's tough to get people to pay in this age of "free" apps, so I don't honestly know how developers can provide a solid trial without users simply using that instead of paying. Anyway, my experience probably doesn't reflect the most common experience, as my phone is older than many. If you are using a newer phone, look for reviews by people with newer phones. And since the app is free to try, I feel like it's at least worth trying.

In little less than 2 days of usage the app crashed, froze, created duplicate files for no reason, pdf export wouldn’t save over existing file, and somehow ‘saved’ w/o actual file nowhere to be found- costing me at least half day of work in total. Right now I'm staring at my doc frozen, yet again, afraid that it’d create a duplicate (whicb somehow I cannot delete) or even worse, version of a file from 2 hours ago instead of one from my latest save. This has happened yesterday. I got this app because i have to write some docs in kr. There are some pros; best one being that it allows my own font selection. I even got their subscription plan for pdf export. Too bad there is so little choices for international mac users.

It was working ok for a little while. I was able to edit a file on my phone and pc, but it insisted on auto saving instead of letting me just hit save when I wanted. This led to it somehow saving an old copy from my phone when I went to look at it the next day over an edited copy of the document from my computer, losing several important hours of work. I then attempted to save a backup of the most recent copy I had left, and it told me my free period was over and wouldn’t even let me save the document. I literally had to copy and paste chapter by chapter the book I’m working on to get it out of the program. Oh and the version history area is blank no matter what I did, so that was super useful 🙄 Insta Delete.
