This word processor offers nothing that Docs To Go or Pages doesn't already have. Those two apps are roughly a wash in terms of capabilities: Pages provides full external keyboard support, faster responsiveness to typing and gestures, and an integrated dictionary; DTG handles Word styles better and has a search/replace function. Quickoffice has the defects of both and none of their offsetting advantages. (I haven't evaluated the spreadsheets.)

I gave this 2 stars because it looks very nice and the web server worked quickly and easily. However, that's where the joy of my using this app ended. I have used the iPhone version for a while and liked it, mainly using it to work on spreadsheets while away from a computer. I wasn't a fan of the small screen to really work with files, so have been checking daily for 2 months or so for the iPad version to come out. Considering the processing power and screen size, I would have expected this to be an improvement over the iPhone version. However, I was dismayed to find that this app handles the larger Excel files I use, 3 megs being the largest, just as slowly if not slower than the iPhone version. First off, it took nearly 2 MINUTES to load the file, data entry of any cells nearly lock the app up for almost a minute each, and it doesn't want to handle many of the formulas that Excel does with ease. It also does not support macros for batch entry, which really slows down entry. I could very easily open the same file on a desktop, enter data, let it process formulas and macros, and be done before this app even loads the file. That to me is simply unacceptable, especially considering I restarted the device and went straight into QO without using anything else, so it can't be a memory issue. For me personally, I was just waiting for a good spreadsheet program for the iPad, and until this gets a sizable overhaul, it seems that my search must continue. I can't rate the other components like the word program, as I don't/haven't used them, but other reviewers will surely cover them. But again, as an Excel app, very poor showing.

I've been waiting for this app to come out since I purchased my iPad. After using quick office on my iPhone for more than a year, it is only natural that I would buy it for this device as well. I love the layout and file management of this program, as well as all the options I have to share my documents on iDisk and box.net. If you're on the fence and can't decide between docs to go and quick office for IPad - get off the fence and purchase this app! You won't regret it.

I have tried to use the spreadsheet app and I get some of them open but no formulas. There are other I try to open and the application closes down. It really does not keep true page format when I open word documents either. Needs more work. This will be a great app when it gets there.

Unlike Pages, this handles tables and other formatting options I need for work. It's connecting great to Dropbox and my iDisk. Ive been waiting for this since I got my iPad. Hasn't disappointed. Thank you, Quickoffice!!

This app is exactly what I have been looking for! It is a completely compatible Microsoft Office suite and isn't just iWorks format like Apple. All of my files are Microsoft files. It also let's me edit while I view the page as it is printed and not in word wrapping mode like Docs To Go. This is a full fledge iPad office application and not just a quick iPhone port like DTG as well. I can easily handle large documents and navigate to any page with the new page selector. Now can finally use my iPad as a laptop replacement.

Installed app and within 5 minutes had it connected to my dropbox account and my google docs account. Editing spreadsheets and word docs is a breeze. It's quick for pulling in PDFs, jpgs, txt files etc. Fantastic. Looking forward to testing it out more on the road over the next couple of days.

As you have discovered, the iPad is a strange duck. Its interface is hobbled by the absence even of a top-level file browser, like the Finder in OS X, or Windows Explorer. This is frustrating when the device is such a lightweight delight to use, physically. QuickOffice's Connect Mobile Suite for iPad (QOCMS) goes a long way toward normalizing work on the iPad -- at least, for "office" type work: writing, calculating & filesharing. QOCMS provides a simple, top-level file browser inside the app, which follows the familiar "files-within-folders" logic which has dominated office work since long before PCs were invented. Files in QOCMS are line-listed from left to right, in a manner very similar to Column View in OS X's Finder windows. There's still no desktop metaphor, but it's a snap to create, rename, move, nest & delete folders AND files. That alone is worth $9.99. So, for me, the apps are somewhat secondary -- low-level office apps are a dime a dozen in the App Store . . . The text editor is simple, but adequate; basic rich-text formatting. (The screen's responsiveness to typing is a tad odd; there's the tiniest delay after a key is pressed -- not enough to make it unusable, but how hard is it to make your text editor behave like all the others out there?) QOCMS has some peculiarities of its own. When you touch the screen to set the cursor in a line of text, the app's convention is to suddenly magnify the text. This is meant to allow you to see around your fingertip, but it can be disconcerting if you're not expecting it (when you lift your finger, everything settles back to its usual size). I've also run across a minor bug in the landscape display: sometimes when I double-tap a word, to highlight it, the screen magnification will zoom out improperly, leaving the black "Cut / Copy / Paste" pointer superimposed over the keyboard, which is hiding the selection. It's infrequent, but slows things down, because you have to dismiss the keyboard to finish your edit. Beyond that, the spreadsheet module looks similar: the basics, no more. I'm no formula jockey, so it's sufficient for me. I haven't tested the PDF capabilities. Everything is compatible with recent flavors of Microsoft formats, so you should be good to go on the road with your files. Re: that . . . QOCMS does two more things which are a necessity on Apple's peculiar device: - allows file transfers via WiFi, by recognizing the iPad as a local network volume; this does a simple end-run around Apple's iTunes file-transfer kludge - instantly recognizes my Google Docs account & mounts a little GDocs "drive" icon in the file browser; this allows drag-&-drop to & from the cloud & makes it simple to work on my office files anywhere (it will do the same for other major cloud services) One thing QOCMS lacks is the ability to save webpages. A rudimentary embedded browser is all that's missing. I download webpages regularly, for research, and need to organize them into folders. If this app let me do that, I'd give it 5 stars. So the suite -- while minimally capable when compared to its larger-scale desktop brethren -- gives the iPad some badly needed functions, which make the device considerably more useful. Dunno how long it'll stay at $9.99; I'd say jump on it.

Anyone who thinks the iPad is an "entertainment" device, or a "media consumption device" hasn't actually used one. However iWork on an iPad is "iWork Lite". QuickOffice brings a higher level of functionality to the iPad. Access to MobileMe and Dropbox is seamless and easy. iWork for iPad acts like it was written by Microsoft (NOT a compliment). QuickOffice acts like an Apple product should. If you work and have an iPad, you need QuickOffice. Your MacBookPro will rarely get used!

Not many bells and whistles, but it does exactly what it needs to do. Very smooth integration with Dropbox and nice clean user interface. I have left the clunkiness of Docs to Go behind for good.

Boy how I excited I was to hear QO was coming to iPad and here it is! And it's a letdown in a few ways, sadly: - external bluetooth keyboard support is terrible. I paired up my Apple BT keyboard and created a new QO document only to watch my text LAG to appear on the screen. This is unacceptable, especially for those of us who intended on doing heavy typing with QO. The responsiveness to typing needs to be addressed, this is pretty much a deal-breaker. - text formatting/styles are limited. Pages and Docs2Go both offer better style choices for your text. With QO, you get bold, italics, underlined...and the ability to format font/paragraph and change text colour. That is pretty much it. That is WAY too basic. Something like that would be okay for an iPhone app, but not for a full fledged mobile suit on iPad. Unless you plan on making mundane documents, this isn't a good pick...documents created in Pages and Docs2Go look considerably nicer, meatier than the bare-bones ones from QO. - Inability to access Dropbox files offline. Another deal-breaker. You can download files from your Dropbox...yet you can't access these downloaded files while offline. What's the point then, if you need to have a constant internet connection? You should be able to view whatever files you downloaded from DB offline and edit them, and only when you connect to the internet again will you be able to sync the changes back. The fact you need to be connected to even access a downloaded file is dumb, even dumber is the fact downloaded files get redownloaded everytime you launch the app even if you have the most recent copy locally. Please fix this. - Inability to have markups. This could have been a killer feature as Pages and Docs2Go strip markups/comments/references from documents on import and give no possibility to create some. This doesn't either. LAME. Haven't tested out powerpoint/spreadsheets. All in all, it's okay for viewing Office files, they mostly work and look okay, which is why this is getting 3 stars instead of 2. But the shortcomings above are unacceptable to me, and QO will now be nothing more than a fancy document/spreadsheet/powerpoint viewer for me. I'll stick with Pages, and use my convoluted email-to-dropbox solution that requires an applescript, because this disappointed me, and makes me feel letdown. :(

Having sold my purchase as a work tool this only became really true after installing Quickoffice. After trying several alternatives QO finally gave me the possibility to develop a effective workflow. Managing files, working in the cloud, compatible with all stuff used in the office. All that remains to be desired is the possibility to edit .PPT files. Next version?

I was waiting for it to come out on the iPad. It's so smooth works great. Better then I was imagining. I love the dragging and dropping. Works great with drop box and iDisk.

Added a single sentence to an existing 2 page DOCX, then saved and e-mailed back to myself, and the following happened: - Lost table shading - Lost page border - Page header with page number was added to page 1, reading, "Page 2 of 2." - Spacing within the table cells was changed. Not sure of the value if I can't make minimal changes to a document.

I have used this app for all of 5 minutes and I love it already! I can connect to my Dropbox account, download a file, edit the file and it is saved directly back to Dropbox AS AN EXCEL DOCUMENT, NO LESS!!! This feature alone makes it worth 7 stars (unfortunately, i am only allowed to give 5) and the $9.99 price tag. So far, the Excel interface is excellent and reasonably easy to use. I will add more to this once I have tested it further, from what I have seen so far, this is the VERY BEST app of it's type available.

The Excel program doesn't support a lot of link formulas yet but I'm glad to see my old friends from Office. Looking forward to the update.

Surprised by the number of positive reviews. The good, integration with online cloud services is very good. The bad, the worst failing is the completely useless powerpoint viewer, simply does not work by completely messing up formatting (can't even display the standard bullet points). Also crashes on import frequently. Word is very simplistic, although I like the side page scroll function. Word is however ruined by the appalling rendering of text, it looks very fuzzy which is not a problem with the other office apps. Keyboard is also very laggy, which is quite annoying. Let's hope future updates significantly improve on this very poor first attempt at an iPad app.

Good app, awesome integration with Dropbox. Editing is limited, need more features like inserting images and printing. Good start.

I use it for excel and word. So far seems very good. I needed dropbox and gdocs integration. I just with it allowed me to sort docs by date and not just by name.

In the absence of Native Office this is currently the best solution. I bought both Documents to Go and this app. I chose this eventually because large spreadsheets scroll much better on this app as compared to D2Go where you have a lag in the shape of grey boxes. Weaknesses of this app are lack of full Powerpoint support that is create PPT

Hey all! Great app. Had it since the iPhone version and just bought it for my iPad. Works great for me with the exception that I can't see images I have inserted into documents when I open them in QuickOffice. I had the same problem with my iPhone version. Is it just me?? Any suggestions??? Otherwise great app!!

QuickOffice has created the missing iPad application. A well thought out iPad interface that provides easy access to major cloud-based file storage (local storage, too), solid editing tools, the ability to save or save-as back to systems like Dropbox and Google Docs. Really, they got this application so right I can't think of a single improvement I am still waiting for. Kudos to the QO team!

Works the same as the iPhone version, but better. Larger screen and more functions make my iPad complete. I tried using the iPhone version on my iPad, but hated the smaller screen with the larger iPad available space. I use Google docs a lot and have a Google business account. I'm still able to access the files. Great job on this one and the price is right.

Overall, I like it but Ill concentrate on some of the items that have to be addressed. Im an auditor and work in Excel a lot and this version does allow you to use the arrow keys or the ESCAPE key in Excel or Word on a bluetooth keyboard. Also, in order to enter anything in a cell, you cant just select the cell and start typing...you have to double click with your finger to get into an ENTER mode then you can type stuff.....totally not productive If they fix this, it get 5 stars from me

Tried other app that claim they can view power point etc (mobile viewer), but I like this one better than the other one. With this program you can organize your folders and edit your worksheet. Loading files to the IPAD is easy.

Finally! I was begging for am iPad version as the iPhone version used on the iPad was just not cutting it. I am always on the go and this app is excellent for what I need. Thanks again!

This is the ONLY office suite that actually works, and I have tried everything. This is no doubt the best iPad app I have downloaded! Easy to use, open files directly from email. Well done.

I've been using this app for some time now, but I wish there was a way to know exactly what the size limit is to open a file. Quite often, a file cannot be opened because it says the file is too large. I mostly use this for excel files...can you indicate what the file size limits are, and show the file size of each file in the main file library view??

I take home my Word and Excel files on my iPad and continue working on them using Quickoffice. Even though a lot of formatting and designing can be done on the iPad with Quickoffice, I keep the formatting and fancy stuff to the copy of Office I have on my PC where it's easier and quicker.

I'm new to IPads and anything Apple & a little more comfortable with PC's and Microsoft word. But thanks to QuickOffice I am much more at ease and it's a lot easier to use than I thought it would be. I'm writing documents and using excel. I even put all my recipes on it. Not quite business oriented but you should try my chocolate chewy brownies!!!! Loved it once I got over being intimidated by it!

Best dropbox support of any iPad office suite

I initially recommend this app to a customer of mine (I'm a consultant) based on various reviews I read on the web. After setting him up and showing him how to access his files via Dropbox, I was very impressed. Picked up a copy for myself and never looked back.I love that it will work with my MS Office files as well as my iWork docs. The Dropbox syncing is so much better than how iWork manages file sharing (at least until iCloud gets here).Developers are very responsive and the product keeps maturing.One very happy customer!

This is a really well designed app and looks great..does very simple editing tasks well (note: only simple tasks), and syncs beautifully with dropbox. They just updated search functionality. Late but better than never. Now excellent. Great job. Keep the updates coming.

Update for newest version:Find/replace is very nice, still looking for doc transfer to and from other apps (like GoodReader). Still my go-to app for document editing!

Every time they update this app, it just gets better and better! This is the best update yet! This is the one stop all around office solution for your iPad!

Combined with Dropbox, this app makes it easy to view and edit most simple Office documents on the iPad. The integration with Dropbox or Google Docs is perfect. One shortcoming is that very large Excel files don't work well, and complex formatting on Excel or Word documents don't render well. What I've found most useful is the ability to carry smaller files with me everywhere I go. I can view and make simple edits without my Mac. For more involved editing the iPad keyboard and navigation gets tiresome.Great product!

Although I haven't used the updated version yet, this app is all I need to review most text documents including MS Word. With this app I can open, modify and save or send Word docs with ease. You can't go wrong with this inexpensive program that keeps getting better and better.

They added Microsoft Office 2010 format!! The only improvement I can mention that is a must is the addition of SPELL CHECK!!!! Otherwise perfect!

If you use Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and PDF's this app is a must have. It's a complete package and keeps getting better with each update. Always looking forward to the next one. Don't waste your time looking for something better.

I've actually had the App on my iPad 2 for several months now, but just haven't had the chance to dive in. However, I will be using it to keep track of my savings account, and I know I'll find other uses for it as well!It'll great to use Air print, and I'm sure with all the other ways to utilize the App I will be very happy I have Quickoffice!PS I tried to email to let you know I reviewed but email was returned.

It's quite a price to pay, but it does everything flawlessly (minus once or twice is crashed).I only request that you are able to email entire folders or multiple files at once as attachments rather than being able to email only one file at a time.

Work flawlessly for excel sheets. Few bugs here and there, but updates always seem to work great. Love this program, could not work without it. Thanks Quickoffice!

I have DocsToGo, Pages and QuickOffice Pro HD. The one I use the most is the QuickOffice Pro HD.I'm not sure why the 4.0 update says the new feature is the ability to view and edit Office 2010 docs when I was able to edit them before the update.The only thing I would like is the availability of some native Korean fonts such as royalty free Nanum fonts so that korean fonts can be manipulated.

Loving the new features but it still lacks a spell check. Plz plz add spell check guys I need it. Other than that great app for the price.

Great App works well with my spread sheet needs but I could easily use more functions like a checkbox/Radio button or just a toggle function for lists.

I really enjoy this app. The only problem I have with it is that I can not figure out how to double space. I wish it had more options in the 'paragraph' tool to change spacing, margin lengths, etc. For the most part, great app!
