1★Scam. Opened the app and it tried to force me to buy something on a random ad in order to remove the ad from the screen. It was impossible to X out of, or close the ad as there was no button to do so. I even tried tapping in all the normal places where a close button is found (corners, bottom, etc) and nothing. I shouldn't have to buy something from a random ad just to be able to get the ad off my screen to use your app. Ended up using Collabora instead.

4★Unfortunately this app was not for me. It would not pull up any of my documents in my Google drive, only files on my phone. Also, there is a small fee to use this app, it's not much, but I was really looking for something that was free. I understand companies have to make money, and like I said the fee was small (~$5 a month). Also, there are ads, huge issue for me, you can pay to remove them but that increases the over all cost for the app, and that is not something I'm interested in.

5★This is a great to have. It's does all types of documents reader. One flaw is if you have downloaded a document multiple times it shall show any documents you have multiple of together so you'll be able to delete the others. It needs a simple way of organizing your files and organize of finding the folder file with ease. And to be able to show preview without having to open folder up so it's easy deletion.

1★Making an add play every time I back out and use another app is ridiculous. I was using another app to refer to the word file I was reading. Every time I went back and forth (every few minutes or so) it would play an add. I will be deleting this app as it was unusable. Also, playing a video add with volume was embarrassing when I was in a classroom setting (very quiet) and an annoying loud advertisement started playing. (Edit) Making the app a "subscription" pay monthly is also ridiculous.

1★This app takes too long to load your document, if the app loads it at all. It makes you watch an ad prior to viewing your document, which often causes it to freeze in loading. I would buy the ad free version if it wasn't on a subscription basis and so expensive. Charge me a one time fee and don't try to break drain my bank acct. This subscription bs is why this company will never have many long term customers and will never be #1.
