OOReader App Reviews

Waste of my time. At least it was free. Deleted.

Disappointed. Needed to be able to open a OO Calc file from iPad. Only one sheet of 5 displays with no open to view other sheets. Deleted app.

I mainly downloaded this app so that I could open up my open office documents (.odt) on my ipad. But every time I try to open them it is "conversion error". I imagine if I pay the $2.99 for their premium version they may open, but according to the details the free app is suppose to open up .odt documents.

Free version works fine for me. IPAD A1403 IOS 9.0.2

My main use case are small downloads from a Pinyin annotation website where the .odt file has many text boxes with Pinyin above the Chinese characters. However, I also tested it with large text files with embedded images, multiple page spreadsheets, presentations with formulas, and vector graphic files. All were converted faithfully. Why only four stars then? The files are listed in the order of most recently imported. The simple list of files suits my needs except I want to adjust the order of them to be the order that I use them in my meetings. Most programs when providing an edit button for a file list support both deleting and file re-ordering. OOReader allows deleting but not re-ordering.

Overall a good app. Two things I would like to see. 1) File sharing through iTunes. Need to be able to upload and download files. 2) Editing functionality.

I have used open office for years and love the software. The ads will absolutely drive you crazy though. But once you use a basic VPN ad blocker, they disappear and you have an incredible user experience.
