The feature description is accurate, I suppose, but should be clearer

This is exactly what I was waiting for. If I could only be able to see attachments and send attachments from the app by using gmail or other emails, that would be great. Then it would really be, not a 5 start, but a 7 star app. Please don't limit this to Microsoft exchange attachments, if you like to expand your business. Being able to view and store (and even edit) attachments is what millions of iphone users are lacking currently. Limiting the access to Microsoft exchange, does not help to solve this problem for most of us. But, in any case, this is well done app, and you deserve way more than the 9.99.

I waited, and waited, and waited...for Documents To Go to arrive on the iPhone. Now that it is here, I'm disappointed. I used DTG on my old Palm system, and was very pleased with that version. On the iPhone, I'm going to continue using QuickOffice because it works much better. I can upload and download files more easily with QuickOffice into preorganized folders using a convenient Web browser. With DTG, the desktop link app is awkward and more difficult to use, although auto sync if changed documents is good. But you have to duplicate the linked files in DTG and move them to a folder that isn't linked to use the files when the laptop isn't linked. I can type quickly on the QuickOffice keyboard because it doesn't lag the way DTG does. And most importantly, I can use Excel in QuickOffice NOW, and month it two. Can't do that yet in DTG. I'll keep checking back with DTG, and if the updates make it meet my needs, I may switch. But for now, DTG falls way short of my requirements. I just discovered that Documents to Go does not sync when you are running VPN on the iPhone and Mac laptop even if both are connected to the same wireless network. The same thing happens in Quickoffice.

To be useful for work, I need to be able to receive email attachments, view and/or edit them, and then send them back out and Documents To Go provides this with my Exchange server. The application works extremely well and has all the features and functions I need for working with Word documents on the go, at an incredibly low price. I can't wait for their Excel spreadsheet program and am pleased it will be given to DTG buyers for free. Great job and keep up the excellent work.

Wow! Been waiting for DocsToGo to hit my iPhone. Only thing i've missed since my old Palm! The sync works even better than I remember on the Palm version. And, now I can actually do something with my Outlook attachments. Not sure what this will be priced at later, but i know these guys have always charged me $20 or more for upgrades alone. God Bless the AppStore and DataViz!

This app was released one day before the iphone 3.0 upgrade just so they wouldn't have to be 3.0 compliant per the apple requirement for new apps and guess what? they're not! not even the new cut and paste work on this piece of crap! Also there's no way of e'mailing the documents!!! C'mon even free apps can email stuff THIS APP IS A BIG RIP OFF. OH and there's no excel anything

After having bought QuickOffice at double the price & while .xls isn't editable yet in this version, I still thnk it is better with the editing of the attachments. I still think that the handling of attachments could be better somewhat like ReaddleDocs does it! Personally not being able to edit documents on the go (without syncing with your desktop) I think is a FAIL. So having that capabilty is a step in the right direction.

I believe DataViz jumped the gun too soon on this application as it doesn't integrate with the iPhone 3.0 software. Even though the app has it's own copy and paste function, it's not neccessary on the 3.0 software, and with them being developers they've had access to it for months. They should have waited until the O/S 3.0 release for that.

I have been using Dataviz products for twenty years from Laplink to Maclink to Palm Docs To Go -- and now to this. Based on my long history with them, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt in future updates. However, this version is not quite there, yet. I downloaded this application 24 hours ago. In that time I have devoted a good three full hours trying to get it to work. I was randomly successful in transferring a document one time only.. Generally the application times out or the desktop app freezes and needs a restart. Very, very frustrating. I have three other apps that sync thru wireless with no problem (bookpedia, stanza and SplashID). So I know the feature should be able to work with this application. But it's hit and miss -- mostly miss. And the Exchange version won't recognize my MS Exchange server. Also frustrating. Documentation is abysmal and support pretty much non-existant at this point. Again, I have high hopes and fingers are crossed. But early adopters beware!

The iPhone app is very cool. But where is the companion desktop app? I can't find anything on their web page yet...?

The keyboard lags in portrait and landscape. Too much lag to use it in my opinion. Desktop sync works great though, that's why it got one star. I will keep using quickoffice though until they resolve the lag issue

I have been a long time user of the Dataviz suite of tools on the Palm Treo and was waiting anxiously for this release on the Iphone. I must say I was very dissapointed with the lack of functionality for all of the office products and in particular when I tried to load a Powerpoint presentation my Iphone locked up several times. In addition, the lack of support info is very poor. Not what I have experienced from Dataviz in the past. I'm hoping this is a short term problem.

The desktop-to-iPhone portion works as advertised. What does not seem to work is Exchange. Cryptic error messages, referring one to a page on their website which returns a 404 (not found). I created a support case, but the only response I can get via that route is advise which seems to pertain to Blackberries, not to iPhones, and has nothing to do with Exchange. Nothing more frustrating than answering a question I didn't ask and ignoring the question I did ask.

This is a great start and I look forward to editing excel files but what I would like to see added is SMB file sharing so I can pull files off my network servers as well as the email attachments and sync software. It would also be nice to have just webdav and or FTP file sharing without the sync software.

This is app is great. The editing capabilities are awesome. The only down side is support for my gmail account.

An update better include being able to edit exel doc. Not that data viz is even going to read this...(terrable rep with customers) At least QuickOffice hears what there customers have to say. What does this say about there biz when they submit some half baked piece of sh*t that 'uses iPhones def. Viewer'-For it's "supported formats"

I jumped on this app right away as I use my iPhone for work a lot and was really looking forward to the document sync with my desktop computer. Unfortunately, the sync did not work... even after help from tech support. They are going to get back to me, hopefully. I also noticed that the navigation through the program has some minor lag to include typing. Had no problems syncing with my webmail however. I will be happy with the $9.99 spent on this app if and when they fix the document sync. Until then, use your best judgement.

Pls made possible to download n upload documents from MobileMe iDisk. Much greatly appreciated.

Exchange account, really? Can't we have more options than this one? The two biggest services for email are gmail and MobileMe. Don't restrict differs t services for email attachment capabilities. This seems to be just a glorified version of dropbox. Except for dropbox I don't need my iPhone on the same wifi network to see the docs. Allow the ability to create a new excel and ppt doc. Link it any server syncing, then it would be a five star app. I can't believe we waited a month extra for this copycat app.

Without Microsoft Exchange, this app is pretty worthless. I have this and Quickoffice, I'm going to stick with Quickoffice as my primary until an update comes out. I do like the interface and the intro price though. I'm sure they will hash out the kinks and add features soon enough...although it will probably cost $20 by then ;)

After the long wait, was dissapointed that only editing word docs was supported. Used Docs to Go on my palm for years and was expecting the same product. I do use MS Exchange and works as advertised. Viewing ppt and xls works well also. Hoping to see updates soon for editing other types of files.

I was really excited when this was finally released. Don't get me wrong, I was not expecting this to replace my laptop's word processor, and it will get you out when in a pinch, but it would be nice to have these features added or fixed: Exchange didn't work with my Gmail account, paragraph/page formatting, and header & footer notes. Not a deal breaker at all: UI could use a face lift and this app is slugish on my 1st gen iPhone.

I was having an issue where a word document was not displaying correctly and I was told by support "The file may not display correctly with certain items because it is not supported by Documents To Go." I honestly thought Dataviz stated they were compatable with Word 97, 2000, X, XP, 2003, 2007 for Windows. I did not notice a footnote for that statement. We will see what they do in the future. Maybe then I will increase my rating.

Fail. Cant get any mac software working. I have installed on a macbook pro, mac pro, and mac mini running server. All 10.5.7. Software wont even open on the mac book pro; it just quits. Software will open on my mac mini and my mac pro but it will not detect my phone. I am on the same wifi network and have no firewall issues and yet its like my phone does not even exist. If I cant even find my device what good is this whole thing. I hope Data Viz does not stay one of these companies with crappy service and products. Only supporting windows or having windows ahead of the mac is old school. In this market and day and the mac is real competition and developers should be making apps that run just as good on a mac as on a pc. In my books this is a pc company.

I can't transfer my files to ipod touch because DTG desktop encounters error every time when I add device to it, even more, I can't find any resolution of this problem from dataviz's web site, but uppermost, I can't get any support from dataviz via e-mail and telephone, What a terrible thing it is!

I am so disappointed with this app and DataViz. I was so looking forward to this app after using docs to go in my Palm Treo. Like others have said, this app uses the iphone reader. It would be nice to be able to open files from other email accounts, like gmail. I'm very sorry I wasted my money on this. Maybe I should have taken a hint from the slow response from Apple when approving this app.

Version 1.1 has some definite advantages over Quickoffice. I own both and love the integration with MS Exchange. I wish these apps could Bluetooth sync instead of requiring WiFi.

I love Docs to Go. It came installed on my old Palm & was fantastic - easy to use, simple to understand, portable & powerful. My only complaint here so far is that even with the update to 1.1 DataViz still hasn't added support to create & edit iWork or Excel spreadsheets, which is disappointing to say the least. I used to use my Palm to accurately track my mileage & gasoline expenses for work, using formulas in Excel to do all the heavy lifting for me. Now, I've got an iPhone with 10-times the power of my old Palm but can't manage a spreadsheet. The price is definitely right on Docs to Go, but if they don't correct this inadequacy soon, I might begin to wonder if I made the right choice in going with DataViz. I'll update this review if/when these features become aailable. Until then, my mark for the app is four stars rather than five.

Why on earth would you release an update for the less expensive (non-exchange) version that allowed for non-exchange email to be used. One would think that with the purchase you should have ALL the features included in the $4.99 version as you do in the $9.99. Perhaps we don't want to be forced to use our exchange account... and don't feel like paying for another version... This is just poor marketing.

I have used DataViz products since 1985 when their first Mac-PC file translator product was released. I used later Docs-to-Go (DTG) on the Palm and their Windows Mobile product. I was so excited when I hear DTG was coming for the iPhone. I expected a word processor, a spread sheet and an editable slide presentation program that at least synchronized with Mac's iWorks suite and maybe with Office. Boy was I disappointed. First, the word processor works only with Microsoft Word - not Pages. To use the DTG word processor, I need to save my Pages documents as a ".doc." Then I discovered that there is no spell checker. Spell check is a significant reason that I bought the product. By the way, all Word's headers, footers and page numbers are lost. Then, it does not have a working spread sheet. It uses the native application built in to the iPhone to read spreadsheets and and slide presentations. Wow - deficient to say the very least. Finally, it does this weird thing with Exchange. It downloads only those files with attachments. These files are already stored in your mail program, so these are all duplicates. It would be better by far if DTG simply looked at my email stored in my email program and found the attachments it understood. So it gets 2 stars from me. I would wait to buy DTG. Let's see if the DataViz team decides to make this product for the iPhone work even half as well as their product for the Palm.

OK, so it's cool that you can do the whole WiFi thing; it makes it easy and quick to put documents on your iPhone. BUT!!! This App DOES NOT support Office 2007, that means NO .docx. SO when you open your files on your phone, they come out all messed up. Not only that, but it runs WAY too slow, trying to edit anything is just TOO slow! Yes, it's cheap, but you will waist your money and just have to spend it on buying another, better app. Those are my thoughts; hopefully you listen and save your money for something better!!!! Haven't used it since purchase; worthless app!!!

Awful!!! Do NOT buy. Sync does not work and after three days of run around with DataViz tech & much time wasted, it still does not work. DataViz will not refund. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love this app. And I use for school a couple times a week. But after I signed up for the desktop app and gave you guys my email adress, I suddenly got crappy emails from companys wanting to sell me something or have me go to thier site to take some stupid quiz...."I am very dissapointed in you guys"...now am going to have to delete all of this spam from my inbox!

Rediculous!!! They put out a new update and it STILL does not support .docx sure it says that it "supports" .docx but when you add the file the format gets all messed up!!! Save your money!!! Shop around!!! And don't buy this app!!! Old: OK, so it's cool that you can do the whole WiFi thing; it makes it easy and quick to put documents on your iPhone. BUT!!! This App DOES NOT support Office 2007, that means NO .docx. SO when you open your files on your phone, they come out all messed up.

Still waiting on Excel editing features. Other than that I am very pleased. I use it daily and it speeds up my workday. I would like to see some of the goofy issues resolved that occur with the format of every Word doc being skewed on the iPhone. It's a real pain having to try to turn the phone and/or resize the image just to try to find the sweet spot, and ultimately guess, how the author of the original had it layed out. It makes it very difficult to know how the document will be layed out after you edit it and send it back out-usually it's a mess if you aren't careful. Also some more info in the help section or a how-to tutorial that's easily accessed would be helpful. I still give it 4 stars for now-5 when Excel Edit comes alive!!

Great app, BUT there are 2 basic things I think needs work: 1) It needs a text finder for ALL file types. Right now I can search *.doc & *.txt files. I saw the preview for the Excel update & see that a text finder is also planned, but right now searching text in *.xls & *.pdf files is not possible. 2) In the file types where editing text is not currently possible including *.xls, *.pdf (haven't tried other file types yet) also prominently displays the horizontal status bars & it seems like you can't hide them like you can when working with *.doc & *.txt files. The reason why they're annoying is because in landscape mode they take up almost half the screen.

When I first bought the 1.0 version I was really annoyed at how limited it was. The exchange server didn't work, no copying and paste outside of app and the horizontal orientation lag made this application absolutely worthless. I had to stick with lamo Quickoffice. A few days after purchasing I got a nice little email saying that they were going to give it a copy and paste update. I trust them way more than those crooks and Quickoffice so I gave the app a chance. I went to mail2go.com and bought an exchange compatible email for $4 a month (free for two months) and waited about a month and a half for the update. Boy was it worth the wait. With the Copy and Paste I can now copy things from Safari. They finally fixed the stupid lag so I can actually use it and the new layout design is very intuitive. This is the first time I have used this program and its very good. Add Excel editing and I will delete my Quickoffice program for good. I have two suggestions though: (1) the idea of a syncing app was cute in 1999 but get with the program no one uses desktop companions anymore it defeats the purpose of it being portable. If your on Wifi anyway turn it into a portable drive and unlock the USB option in a next update so you can use the desktop version without Wifi. (2) Another suggestion would be to allow POP mail access instead of exchange. If they can do that well I can just put away my computer for good. (3) Add system font support aside from Roman font. I hope this review was helpful.

The best just got better! As solid excel support as I experienced in Docs To Go on BlackBerry.

This app has strong points and weak points. I'm comparing it to Quickoffice--which also has its pros and cons. (I initially paid virtually no attention to Documents to Go as I had to have full Excel functionality. Once Excel became available, I purchased the app.) If the two apps would look at each other and copy all the strong points from the other, that would be the ideal Office app for the iPhone. The strong points for Documents to Go are it's speed and the user interface. I initially purchased Quickoffice and found the UI a bit clunky and the speed of loading (e.g., long Word docs) quite slow. Documents to Go is definitely a better perfomer in this regard. Docs load quickly, and I like the "go to" icon which allows you to quickly get to the start, middle or end of a document (rather than having to flick, flick, flick your way back to the top or bottom). All in all, the menu bar at the bottom of Docs to Go is slick and handy.

Excellent update. Excel editor is really good. Really good. This is getting better and better. Don't listen to those claiming that D2G doesn't support DOCX. It absolutely does. I use it daily, and it is flawless. The formatting retention is genius! Only gripe - Now that Google is pushing email via Exchange server, PLEASE make D2G compatible so we can access atachments from Gmail!! I get "Error 501" - unsupported function from server. Please fix this!!!

Great update; finally, we can edit Excel spreadsheets; only flaw for me is the linking of cells between spreadsheets; Linked spreadsheets show #REF! in the specific cell linked to another spreadsheet; please correct in the next update. Easy to edit cells makes this the Perfect app; no need to shop for alternatives.
