Readdle's ReaddleDocs utility recently became free. At the same time, she changed the name to a more understandable and drab Documents. Of course, the renaming didn’t make it any better, but the fact that it was free seriously added to the popularity of the application. Documents is positioned as a program for organizing, storing and viewing various office files.

My attitude towards similar applications wary. I am one of those people who believe that it is better to look at photos in one application, work with text documents in another, listen to music in a player, etc. When an application has a bunch of diverse functions, it often happens that many of them are unfinished... But such applications have a right to life, since they can significantly simplify this very life if some features are needed from time to time.

Review of Documents by Readdle

Files, files, files...

The design of the application is beautiful. I'm not a designer, but when almost everything is pleasing to the eye, then no questions arise. When opened, Documents greets the user with various file types that they can open (and sometimes edit) within the app.

All because there is a mode for displaying files with large icons. In the icons, even the first phrases are visible in text documents, which is undoubtedly very convenient.

File management (copying, moving, creating folders, renaming, etc.) is done well. Standard and quite expected minimum set of features. You can even create a simple text document as a bonus.

There also seem to be no problems with opening documents. But for some reason one test PDF file did not open for me and the application crashed. Subsequently, within a few hours of operation, the application crashed 2 more times - not a good sign.

It is possible to read books on Fb2 or Epub. At the same time, turning pages is no worse than in iBooks. It seems to me that reading books in Documents will be convenient, although those who are used to a specialized e-reader are unlikely to switch to something else.

The program supports many formats, all of them are listed in the instructions built into the program in English.

In general, Reeddle's dislike for Russia is quite strange. The developer is listed as a certain Igor Zhadanov. But there are no descriptions in Russian of this company's applications in App Store, don’t expect any Russian instructions from them.

Main apple cloud

iCloud support in Documents is implemented as needed. In the cloud, you can create your own folders and upload files there. And in general it works exactly the same as if it were local storage.

If this function does not work for you, then enable it in the settings. Settings –> iCloud -> Documents and data.

Clouds, clouds, clouds...

The network section offers you to connect various services to Documents, from the super popular Dropbox to some filesanywhere.

I tried to connect one of them. Oh, I think: “Cool... Everything works.” But one bug tormented me right away - you look at some file, press the back button, and you are thrown into the first section of the program with local documents.

Without the Internet, nowhere

The last fourth section of the program contains a built-in browser. I really liked it, but not because of how it works, but because of its saving features.

I'll start with a little background. Not long ago, a reader named Alexander wrote me a letter in which he gave complete instructions on how to save website pages in PDF using some online service. I kept thinking about what to answer him, since the method involved, in my opinion, unnecessary body movements. The universe provided Documents by Reedle as a solution to this problem.

You open a page of any website in the program’s internal browser and, through the menu, save this page as a PDF. That's all. Very comfortably.

Program settings

The application has a lot of settings. This is kind of implied in such file monsters.

There is also the ability to password-protect the application and customize the view PDF files, and choosing a font when reading books.

Many iPhone users have the fundamentally incorrect opinion that downloading and viewing documents on Apple smartphone an extremely labor-intensive and complex process. We decided to destroy this myth by demonstrating some possibilities free application Documents from Readdle.

There is a reason why people think so poorly of the iPhone - the standard functionality of the device does not support transferring and working with documents in popular formats.
