-Added number, function, calendar keyboards & move selection -Added full-screen reading mode -Fixed bugs & improved performance

Recurring themes

Data Loss/Saving negative
Multiple users report losing hours of work because spreadsheets do not save, or previous work is wiped out after updates. This directly contradicts the developer's claim of 'improved performance' if data integrity is compromised.R24R83R85R116
Basic Functionality negative
The app is criticized for lacking fundamental spreadsheet features such as bolding, highlighting, advanced charts, and proper formula functionality. Users also struggle with basic actions like printing, exporting, and even simple math.R10R20R21R22
User Experience negative
Reviewers find the app confusing, difficult to navigate, and clunky. Intrusive and frequent review prompts severely disrupt the user experience.R14R35R44R46
Language Barrier negative
A significant number of users report that the app, including tutorials and templates, is predominantly in Chinese, with no effective option to switch to English, even after paying for VIP.R75R80R82R89
Paid Features/VIP negative
Many desirable templates and features are locked behind a VIP subscription, which users feel is not justified given the app's overall poor performance and lack of basic functionality. Some users who paid for VIP still encountered language issues.R60R88R89R127

Who it's for

This app is for users who need a very basic, free spreadsheet tool for simple data entry or personal tracking on their phone and do not require advanced features, printing, or reliable data saving R93R94R98. It is NOT for users who need a reliable spreadsheet editor for professional or complex tasks, require printing or exporting, expect features comparable to Microsoft Excel, or need consistent language support R20R22R83.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, which contrasts sharply with the lifetime rating of 4.5. Many positive reviews are very short and generic, often in non-English languages, making it difficult to ascertain specific pros. The negative reviews are much more detailed and consistent across different regions, indicating significant functional issues. The developer's release notes mention 'fixed bugs & improved performance,' but recent reviews clearly contradict this, with users reporting crashes, unsaved work, and general performance issues R24R83R85R116.

I love this app. I use it to easily create an annual budget for the non- profit 501(C)(3) that I am the Treasurer of. As well as custom work order templates, custom order forms, receipts, etc for the custom vinyl business I run. You don't need any tutorials to help you and no experience with spreadsheets. This is prolly my favori

  10. [R83] 1/5 · US The new update ruined EVERYTHING: All of my spreadsheets that I’ve been using for the past two years for my D&D campaign are all now rendered useless because of this equally useless update.

  12. [R116] 1/5 · GB Pointless: Pointless app to have if you can’t save your work. Spent a few hours designing a table to track my income and out going and other financial obligations only to find you can’t save mathematical sums. Got it all working then found out you can’t subtract. Eventually finish saved all my work only to log back in next day to find none of the cells had saved there sum(). Frustrated is not the
  13. [R10] 3/5 · US confusing: when writing a chart you can't just simply highlight something and edit that selection. The whole thing must be highlighted and you have to edit that entire section

I did and there no way for me print what I want. It says select an app and I click that and this thing doesn't even show a choice. Why is everythig so convoluted and difficult to use.

  21. [R55] 1/5 · US una ladilla: piden calificacion cada 5 minutos, del resto todo ok.
  22. [R121] 1/5 · GB Want approval: i barely typed the contents of 3 cells before being asked whether or not I liked this app, so I gave it one star. At least give me the chance to use your app for a few minutes before interrupting to ask whether or not I like this app.
  23. [R134] 1/5 · CA La demande d avis bloque le fonctionnement de l app: Franchement un minimum de test la demande sd avis bloque le fonctionnement de l app
  24. [R75] 1/5 · US UNABLE TO SWITCH TO ENGLISH: Will not change language from Chinese to English

  27. [R96] 1/5 · US All But 1 Review on Jun 17. Not that easy to sort out this app.: I checked all the reviews and it was a day in the park for every ‘reviewer’. All but 1 posted their review on the same day - June 17. OK, a stacked deck perhaps but I’m not deterred. So, I download it and start rummaging through it. I tried the tutorials and they’re all in chinese written and audio language. That’s ok, but not
  28. [R137] 2/5 · AU Can’t open CSV: This app looks good with an intuitive UI. But most of my files are csv, not xlsx, and despite the app description claiming otherwise, it won’t open any csv file. Not sure if this is maybe a “premium” feature? If so there should be a message telling you that. Instead when I try and open a CSV, simply nothing happens and there is no error message.
  29. [R60] 1/5 · US Not what i expected lol: Runs slow; 98% of the template are VIP (so you ultimately have to pay a subscription); And the 2 or 3 "free templates" do not upload. Nothing went right.
  30. [R88] 1/5 · US Not paying for a one time use: Nope not now not ever
  31. [R127] 1/5 · CA DONT SPEND ANY MONEY ON THIS APP: The ai Is a complete joke, its not useful at all, wouldn’t recommend using any money for this app
  32. [R136] 1/5 · AU VIPS: the worst literally does not let us have anything good out of the templates, saves the best for VIP.
  33. [R35] 1/5 · US complicated: too complicated unlike microsoft
  34. [R45] 2/5 · US trying too hard to make change: Basic things like deleting rows and shifting options were no longer in the basic commands.
  35. [R46] 3/5 · US Not friendly use: Not friendly use , becase I have to click specifically inside the cell to change the cell's contain
  36. [R106] 1/5 · GB c: absolutely terrible. clunky, unintuative.
  37. [R44] 3/5 · US Finally found a spreadsheet!: It's a bit difficult to manuver but hopefully I will be able to relearn how to do it with this software.
  38. [R89] 2/5 · US I paid for VIP: I paid for VIP and not getting access to an English version of the app. I will give it 3 more day and then request my money. Back from Apple.
  39. [R53] 4/5 · US Nice: Really great but I wish it had more options for printing
