What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R1] Documents 1/5 · US Undisclosed Fees After First 7 Days!: Listing in AppStore said only “In-App Purchases,” implying that it’s a free app with possibly optional add-ons that would cost extra; standard model I’ve encountered in MANY APPS over years. Instead, when I opened your Documents app, I was summarily informed that I had 7 days free trial period, after which I would be charged monthly fees!! I never agreed to th
2. [R7] Documents 1/5 · US Did not say they want to charge monthly fee: I do not know if the product works well or not. However, I did not see anything that stated it was a subscription service until after I had downloaded and installed the application. I seldom use ZIP files on my phone and that was the only reason I was looking. Disappointed they “hid the ball” when it comes to a monthly subscription fee - particularly w
3. [R31] Documents 1/5 · US Mid: Used to be good, then they gave it a paywall
4. [R49] Documents 2/5 · US Yet another monthly subscription: This is overpriced and not worth paying $16 per month. I would not have wasted my time downloading it if I had known.
5. [R3] Documents 3/5 · US Bug: Bug for pdfreader heavy pdf’s, always crash and dont delete
6. [R28] Documents 2/5 · US New issues: Great app for many different things. But now my videos I saved in my inbox do not launch anymore. When I try to play a video a white blank page comes up and nothing works. I was working fine couple months ago. Whats the issue?
7. [R40] Documents 1/5 · US Music Player Seems to app crashing: Whenever I use the app for playing music after 3 or 4 minutes app crashes and close.
8. [R47] Documents 2/5 · US Music and videos: I don't know how many times I have to write this to finally get through to you. The app crashes when I'm listening to music, and what the hell? Why do videos open in *this* app when I select them in the Files app?
9. [R10] Documents 1/5 · US Intro/preferences deleted all my files: I wouldn’t trust this app anymore. They seem to prioritize adding useless things like asking me what kind of files I work with or my profession is than retaining files.
10. [R12] Documents 3/5 · US Hard to save files: Cannot move files from recent to docs regular file
11. [R13] Documents 2/5 · US Lost and entire PDF form: I filled out an entire pdf form with lengthy text boxes. Accidentally hit the back button. All of it…gone. No autosave or warning to save it first. Bad design.
12. [R18] Documents 3/5 · US Ok but hard to find files: It's ok, works well, but I have a very hard time trying to fine my files. They are in documents but if I want to upload it somewhere I have a hard time finding them, it's REALLY annoying.
13. [R24] Documents 3/5 · GB Where is AirDrop: I used to AirDrop to my other phone and now the feature is gone please bring it back. The speech was cool. I don’t know why you remove it so please bring AirDrop back
14. [R25] Documents 1/5 · US Legacy paid users are being squeezed for features they already had: I purchased Documents by Readdle more than 10 years ago and paid for features that were part of the app experience at the time. After years of using the app, I opened the current version. I found that basic PDF tools like rotating and extracting pages, features I previously had access to, are now being pushed behind a subscription
15. [R33] Documents 3/5 · GB Subscription Creep: If you need to work with individual pages of a PDF (delete, extract etc) do not update as these functions are now behind the subscription paywall. So many good apps on this store that I’d happily pay £10 to £20 for, but just how many £10pm subscriptions do you think people can afford?
16. [R43] Documents 1/5 · US Use to Love the app: Hate the latest update, very intrusive. Don't like the lightbulb thing. Took away ability to add hyperlinks without paying for it. Going to look for something else.
17. [R6] Documents 3/5 · US Saving Links … Downloading Content: The new ability to save links and intact with them like files is quite nifty. But now what’s needed is the ability to download content, particularly videos, from a link/webpage. This needs to work on the same level as Downie on Mac. Documents’ continued refinement and expansion makes it the clearest contender to be downloading videos/files/content. Documents
18. [R19] Documents 2/5 · US I don't understand the hype: No folder color coding, no multi instance tab view, not a lot of useful features.. Everything is basically paywalled, built in bowser sucks at grabbing downloads. 🤷
19. [R36] Documents 3/5 · GB What’s up with button controls when watching YouTube videos through the browser?: Since the last update I have had issues with YouTube controls to either skip adds or slide through videos.
20. [R20] Documents 5/5 · US Addings: It’s a great app I am using this for long time and this would be a pleasure to us if developers add customizable color highlights to files, support flac, add cover to songs and edit songs metadata for those who use free and not in subscription. Thanks
21. [R22] Documents 1/5 · US Search function: The search function isn't working; the loading wheel just keeps spinning.
22. [R42] Documents 3/5 · GB Great App overall: This is truly the best app for downloading music; it is what I use it mostly for. However I do have a few complaints; such as not being able to order songs in a file in the order I want, the limited colour options when highlighting a folder, and also that downloaded mp3 files cannot be displayed with the album covers instead of a file icon. Nonetheless, this is my favourite app,
23. [R58] Google Docs 5/5 · US Great Asset!: Wow! So Helpful! I don’t have a computer and needed to make signs for our picnic. Google Docs came through!!
24. [R61] Google Docs 5/5 · US I love Google everything!: I miss working with Microsoft, but Google has done a good job making a comparable document creator! I didn’t realize how much you can edit a table with the right click
25. [R63] Google Docs 5/5 · US 🙏🏼: very good for my work

30. [R83] Acrobat Reader 5/5 · US I accomplished what I needed to: Thanks to the adobe reader, I downloaded a form and put it in the adobe reader and filled it out professionally and was able to then upload it to a link
31. [R90] Acrobat Reader 5/5 · US Handy: Having this accessibility on my iPad is a blessing.

33. [R94] Browser and Documents Manager 5/5 · US So good for music player!!!!: I always play music from this app so easily
34. [R100] Browser and Documents Manager 5/5 · US BEST APP OUT THERE!: I’m gonna go somewhere for a trip and I remember that I don’t have cellular data so what I did was download my music in this app AND IT WORKS EVEN IN AIRPLANE MODE!!! Recommend.
35. [R103] Browser and Documents Manager 5/5 · US AMAZING!!!: I am really loving the ability to be able to save web pages into a pdf file so easily! This app is completely free and has so much storage available! I wish I had discovered it sooner!
36. [R109] File Manager & Browser 3/5 · US I’m just a little slow.: I don’t ever write reviews for apps but I thought I would give it a shot. I think the app is pretty cool but my learning curve isn’t as high as it used to be but I still like the idea of having an app that organizes files.
37. [R114] File Manager & Browser 5/5 · US file folder: I like this file folder on my apple iPad this new file folder on my apple iPad works grate my new apple iPad still in good shape and still works I can stream Disney plus - YouTube - ABC -ABC-2 - pandora radio - nick -prime video and more .
38. [R120] File Manager & Browser 4/5 · US Missing Features: This App is great in its display and presentation of folders, files and documents, BUT The 2 issues I have is that (1) I can’t get pdf and word documents that are Password Protected to Open and (2) the ability to RENAME FILES / documents/photos. Give me that and I’ll give all 5 stars.
39. [R5] Documents 5/5 · US Great app: I have been using this app for years and with confidence I can say this app is one of the greatest apps ever made and it’s perfect for downloading and listening to music for free 10/10 app
40. [R27] Documents 3/5 · GB Best video player for iOS: The best video player on iOS, I prefer this to apples file app. But since iPad OS 26 the top part of the screen overlaps with the time date etc, anything up there is no longer clickable very easily 😭.
41. [R65] Docusign 1/5 · US Rip-off: WAY too expensive for what it actually is, nearly $400/year now. And they will not honor a refund when you try to cancel on the day of renewal. I have never seen a company do that. Greedy, unethical people.
42. [R67] Docusign 3/5 · US Excelente: Muy práctico y lo mejor es que es gratis
43. [R77] Docusign 1/5 · US Purposefully makes it impossible to cancel subscription: Need this app/product monthly? Fantastic! It works okay and does what it advertises. Only need a few signatures one time but don’t need it again? Then you’re the customer they really want! They’ve done everything in their power to make it as hard as possible for you to cancel your subscription. You’ll just keep getting charged monthly withou
44. [R51] Google Docs 1/5 · US Not useful as a primary tool: This app is extremely limited compared to the Chrome version. The UX is so vastly different that it can’t be used as a primary tool.
45. [R52] Google Docs 4/5 · US Good enough: Bit finicky with the iPad keyboards, but otherwise as good as the web version.
46. [R55] Google Docs 4/5 · US Good, but less features than the website.: The website version has more tools, but this has less. Overall it’s good.
47. [R56] Google Docs 3/5 · US Good but stripped down and occasionally annoying: Docs is good but the app lacks a lot of features and trying to edit in browser to access them in browser leads to a pop up to download the app. Does not support split screen on ipad making transferring info between docs very annoying. Word app is better.
