Almost as Perfect as MS Office.
I would give this app 5 stars because it’s that darn good! The only thing I’m waiting for is (Read Aloud) to help me proof a word document. I hope they can get this feature installed because for me it’s necessary for a better document. It ‘s layout is like MS Office and it looks great too!
United StatesA beautiful example of “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.”
To get the “Bad part” of the review out of the way: It can be laggy when you have complex Tables that need editing, BUT…. This is with the older Pre-Apple Silicon 12.9” iPad Pro (I think that is 6th Gen? It is the immediately pre-M1 12.9” iPad Pro), so when I replace my iPad Pro with the newest M2 Max version, I will edit this review to give an account of the “Laggy-ness” on it. But even with that Lagginess, it allows for the Editing of Complex Tables that Microsoft’s Office for iPad OS DOES NOT ALLOW. And thus is generally useless if the need exists to edit such complex tables. And the Cell Border Editor often causes the program to crash if you try to edit a complex table border that has too many cells enclosed in the edited area. I discovered this can be prevented by editing no more than four cells at a time. So if this program is used to edit the cells into their proper configuration, and then the resulting .doc/.docx with the corrected tables sent to MS Word, where it can be completed with the addition the text in the cells… Then the program here is a Godsend. But the lagginess is why it did not get a full ★★★★★ and instead got a ★★★★☆ (In case those symbols don't show up, that is "… why it did not get a full <five stars out of five> and instead got a <four stars out of five>"). If the lagginess can be fixed, then I would ditch MS Office/Word Completely for creating Documents (and Apple Pages for iOS/iPad OS suffers even worse problems than the lagginess of this Word Processor, which is a nearly fatal flaw of Apple, given how "Brand Loyal" I am — That I am writing a review for a product on Apple's App Store that IS NOT an Apple Product should tell Apple that one of their oldest and most Loyal Customers — I got an Apple ][+ for Christmas in 1980, and have never owned a non-apple computer of any kind — is unhappy with their recent "direction"). It also has problems with adding Fonts to it, where I have been unable to add any of my iOS/iPad OS/OS X/ Fonts to the Font Library. … I will return to this review and edit it to indicate if this problem has a solution. ➲ Now to the GOOD PARTS: Office, by Microsoft, the “Evil Empire” of Software of the past (Apple seems to have dethroned it of late, even if I am committed to the Apple Ecosystem), has a leading Text Editor/Word Processor that works wonderfully, and that worked wonderfully. Yet like most big Software Companies, they tend to make changes for he sake of changes, as newer generations begin to use their products. Textmaker gives you the Classic Microsoft Word Editing Ribbons and Tools. For those maybe a generation older than me (those roughly 60+years of age), this will probably be a relief to have something so familiar and easy to use. Textmaker has about everything that exists in MS Word for iPad, MORE than what exists in Apple Pages for iPad, and vastly more than other Text Editors/Word Processors for the iPad, where it is certain to eventually either force Microsoft and Apple to up their game, or it will likely overtake them. I did not compare this to Google-Docs, which I consider to be in an entirely different "class" of Applications/Programs to the traditional Desktop word Processing, or Publishing Apps.
United StatesTerrible. Really terrible. Lost 3 documents. No help.
I can’t believe this program is on the market. I save a document and it disappears. I ask for help and it offers 600+ pages but no search tool. Like I’m going to wander through 600 pages to find out how to delete a document. So awful and awkward to use!!
United StatesExcellent Free App-- prefer it over Word!
Recently, I've become increasingly frustrated using Word on the iPad. Despite paying annually for an Office365 subscription, Microsoft Word on the iPad has limited features in comparison to the desktop app and, most frustratingly, doesn't let you change all of the individual line formatting as does the desktop app and noticed that how my documents appear formatted on the iPad in Word aren't how they actually appear formatted when imported into desktop Word. Additionally, I found that Word would not consistently auto-save my work and would lose documents I was working on because of that. Thus, I began searching for alternatives; Apple's Pages is free and nice but rather stark and limited in its features. I then found TextMaker-- an app that I had used on one of my old non-Apple devices more than a decade ago and tried it out. It works great! The free version has all the basic features I would want in a personal (and basic work) word processor, and the controls are easy to figure out (and can be configured in several different styles based on the user preference). If there is something you can't figure out there is a link to an easily readable and indexed user manual! So far, the app is rock solid in its performance (and not tied to an online server like Office 365) and can save documents in Word format if I want (which so far have looked great when imported into Word). In-app purchases are for things that might be helpful but not essential (e.g. covert document to PDF) which seems reasonable. Would highly recommend people consider this app if they are not happy with Word.
United StatesBlast of the past…
I used Office 2003 and later 2010 for decades, being very happen with the old style ribbon menu across the top. Then Microsoft decided that, even tho nothing was broken, to complete complexify the Office menu ribbon. It is insanely complicated, so that TextEdit has returned to a bit of menu sanity is very satisfying.
United States???
I tried to do something and it did what I wanted. However the keyboard covers the text. Also and most annoying I can’t get rid of the welcome text. I press edit and can add text but it’s at the bottom of the welcome page. Not clear how to start a brand new document. Okay did that Saved document. However, when I open the saved document, the program is still trying to edit it. Then the file is not what I saved
