Customer Reviews
So much better than the Files app
This app is a real Finder, letting you organize files any way you want to instead of only separated by app. You can set apps such as Pages to use Documents as their default storage area for new files. (Unfortunately there are permission errors trying to move or copy existing documents from app-specific storage so you have to share/open in Documents from the app the first time.) Documents uses the exact same interface for local documents, photos, and multiple cloud storage services. It has full text indexing and many other features Files lacks. With one glaring exception it uses screen real estate more intelligently - the exception being the big floating plus sign (and occasionally media player) that covers up part of the file list and individual file controls.
Looking for a feature...
This app is awesome, hands down.
There’s one thing I can’t figure out, though:
I liked this app so much that I decided to give Spark email a try (also by Readdle) which is now my favorite email app ever. But the problem is that Documents 6 exports emails using the standard iOS email app, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the export settings to use Spark instead. I know that you can drag and drop items from Documents into Spark if using the split screen, but it should be easier than that. Especially now that Apple totally screwed up the split screen experience with the new iOS update. It would be so cool if the developers could make that Spark email export option happen!
Fixed? (Was freezing iOS 11)
Updated review 10/17: Seems to be working again; not sure why it kept freezing up previously (could have been an iOS bug). Currently working well with Apple Files. Raised to 4 stars (but might change to 5 once confidence is restored).
Previous review (9/17):
The app freezes as soon as it opens and none of my saved files or folders are visible. This happens whether Documents is opened directly, or in the native iOS Files App. Running on iPad 10.5 Pro with the latest iOS update. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, because some of the items are irreplaceable and I would hate to try recreating all those folders!
