Ratings and Reviews
It’s Word, man.
Great app. Business and academic apps like this are sometimes harder to navigate on iPads or smart devices because you can’t see all the icons like you would on a laptop screen, and the layout is a little different, but it still does mostly everything you’d need for work or school. There are certain things that you can’t do unless you pay and upgrade to premium, like getting unlimited text colors, but that’s pretty much what you get with every app these days. The app still lets you be cheap and get away with making word documents without premium if you don’t want all the bells and whistles included, and it’s still functional, so I don’t personally mind not having premium. You can get by without it if you don’t want to spend the extra money-shoutout to all the broke college students out there and all the kids whose parents won’t let them upgrade- but if you’re willing/have the means to pay, hats off to ya. All in all, it serves its purpose and does what it’s supposed to, it’s not glitchy, and it’s pretty easy to use. I like it. So, that’s my two cents in the subject. Try it out, see what you think, and you can always delete it I guess. :)
Some ISSUES!!
In the fall, while traveling, despite saving to the cloud, and adding to it when I had WiFi access, a document disappeared! Initially, the first two of 3 pages were gone, and a day later, so was the third and any trace of it. No way that I could figure out to get any help from Microsoft.
Recently, I have had MAJOR issues with Word on both my iPad and MacBook Air, about 25 pages of a long document mostly disappearing, again, despite auto saving to OneDrive. Bizarrely, the handful of footnotes and page numbers remained, and, very fortunately, I could still read them on the version on my iPad, though when I experimented and printed a few of these pages, again it was just footnotes and page numbers. The only workaround that I have figured out is to retype the missing pages (more than 20k words) on the laptop while looking at it on my iPad. A LOT of what should be unnecessary work to create a new document to which I will later copy and paste the beginning of the document that is still there, or at least was the last time I checked. (Microsoft tech support unusable and not worth the effort.)
Meanwhile, of course, I have been subscribing for over three years through the App Store, so have paid more than $250, which should have more than covered the cost long ago. Between Apple and Microsoft, I feel lucky the app generally works reasonably well.
Word doesn’t save
I downloaded this app to write on the go, because writing in my notes app was rather tiring and would lag often. At first, this app suited me well.
But after awhile (like a couple weeks) it started being glitchy. I would tap the screen to go to a certain sentence and it’d bring me to the top (very annoying to have to scroll back down 40 pages) and sometimes when I would highlight a word it would highlight not where I selected. However, my biggest complaint is that is doesn’t save. I’ve checked and double checked that autosave is on, I’ve made sure I’ve connected it to my one drive, yet still it won’t save. The first time this happened it erased maybe 4 pages of progress. I thought it was my fault at first, maybe something had gone wrong on my end. I didn’t recall exiting the document before closing the app, maybe it’s on me.
But then last night, after 3+ hours in which I wrote almost 4k words across 7 pages, I made sure it had said “saved” and made sure I closed the document before hand. When I woke up this morning to go back in, ALL my progress had been completely erased. It was massively disappointing, especially considering it was a rather important thing.
Now I will have to redo do it, but it won’t be on this app. I hate to give word a bad review but this has now happened twice and erased a lot of progress on my end.
Please fix this.
