Documents To Go® Standard app review: an all-in-one office suite for your mobile device 2021

Reviews

Introduction

This iPhone and iPad documents app has been designed by long-standing industry leaders DataViz to provide users with an all-in-one office suite for mobile devices that can be used to access a variety of MS Office file formats with full editing capabilities.

The best file managers for iPhone and iPad

I should start by saying that I initially downloaded this iPhone documents app with some degree of apprehension because I could see from the user reviews on the iTunes description page that it hadn’t exactly been well received so far.

Having gone through some of the features and tried it out for myself, I’d say that it certainly is far from perfect, but few apps of this kind are and I think that some commentators might be a little too harsh with their ratings.

Check out our Documents To Go® Standard app review and then let us know if you think this is a top documents app for iPhone and iPad users.

Enjoy Full MS Office Functionality and More

Documents To Go® Standard - Office Suite provides a range of features for accessing, viewing, and editing documents for MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, so you’ve got all your word processing, spreadsheet-ing, and presentations needs wrapped up all at once.

As well as the more basic file formats such as .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, and .pptx, you’ll also be able to work with other formats such as .PDF, .RTF, and even iWork files for all you Mac users out there.

If you find any limitations with what is possible with the available file formats then you can always use the Open In... feature to export your work to other relevant apps.

Import and Export Your Files With Ease

Importing and exporting your files is also a cinch because you can move them to and fro via iTunes file sharing with a USB cable.

Alternatively, you can download the free desktop software and then move your files to and from your computer via Wi-Fi transfer, which I think is a lot more convenient for Windows users than having to rely on iTunes.

Within each respective aspect of this app are tons of features for everything from adjusting font sizes and styles to inputting various functions into different cells of your spreadsheets, so you’re sure to find just about everything you need for full MS Office productivity and more. It has a decent file manager iPad capability as well.

  • This app doesn’t appear to have been very well-received by users, with one in particular remarking on the general lack of user-friendliness and the fact that the font sizes often appear too small to be worked with on an iPhone screen

Final Words

Documents To Go® Standard - Office Suite is a decent enough iPhone and iPad app, although due to the negative user feedback I would recommend shopping around before making a final decision.
