Utility Spreadsheet for Negative User Reviews

✓ SpreadsheetLoved this app until the latest re-design. You now have to increase the column width for a consistent type size. I don’t want to increase my column width! It’s worked perfectly for more than 2 years!.Higgo53Version: 7.2

✓ CarchariusThe spreadsheet is great but the adverts keep freezing it up, once re-installed all saved data is lost which renders this unstable platform completely useless..CarchariusVersion: 3.4.0

✓ Update has ruined itI have a long formula in a cell which I can’t see now as they have reduced the size of the editing box. Rubbish. Will be deleting..IPhoneDee33Version: 7.3

✓ GlicheToo many gliches, including saving data! Delete!!.Fair goVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Just deleted my spreadsheetI’ve been using this great little spreadsheets app for a whole year. I do my monthly household budget on it. It’s not the best but I was used to it. Yesterday I decided to delete a months worth of rows. When I highlighted the rows and hit delete it took about a minute to do it. But it came back up and my spreadsheet looked fine. Looked at it today and my whole spreadsheet is gone. I have noticed I couldn’t use the file save button for a while now, but I just closed it from my iPad and that saved it. But when I closed it this time something happened. Even though it didn’t appear to have a problem when I closed it. I don’t trust this app any more..SjbartelVersion: 8.0.0

✓ Just GreatThis app is excellent and works well. Very simple to use and the price is right. Thank you for your work. UPDATE this app is no longer working . Will not type a Zero, when typed it types ::::.RoystonjamesVersion: 6.0

✓ File transferHey guys, I upgraded , and i thought my file would be automatically transferred to the new and upgraded apps. How cam i transfer it , its too many?.Ung80Version: 3.3.2

✓ Not a happyNot happy.šimširVersion: 6.4

✓ Lost files after updateI still have the files in iTunes but they won't reload to the phone after a system update. Dissapointing so much promise..BigbadboyaaaVersion: 3.2.1

✓ 50/50It looks great, may be easy to use but needs more tabs and easier how to's, have tried to set up so it adds up costs as you go along so you get your total and any other costs you add, but I can't get it work, other than that, it's ok for other uses..Ramada7349#Version: 6.3

✓ Not fit for purposeUnable to download saved file from iCloud..GavloftVersion: 8.0.0

✓ Full screen ad videosGiant ad videos you’re forced to sti through. Can’t stop them. There are spreadsheets a million times better from Apple, MS, Google... without any ads, so who needs this one’s BS? Not me..1110110001011001101Version: 7.3.4

✓ Features not workingAm unable to select entire rows and columns anymore, and the sort-data feature hasn’t been working either. I went so far as to delete the app entirely and re-download it but nothing works. Without the ability to select and sort data columns this becomes about useless for what I need..PadoostVersion: 7.3.7

✓ Free spreadsheetBasic but does what I need.AlcapacaVersion: 5.0.3

✓ CrapFreezes on adverts then refuses to open any files lost valuable files.Noddy vVersion: 8.0.0

✓ It's free... Don't expect too much...It does the very basics... But there are other apps out there that do better. Still, it's free, so no complaints. :).Mark JelicVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Screen freezesOnly tried to upload a sheet but app keeps freezing so practically of no use!.MelmikVersion: 2.9

✓ FormulaSince upgrade Constantly have to wait until downloads from iCloud.MintrapierVersion: 8.0.0

✓ IOS 13 for iPadJust upgraded to ios13 and the app does not work properly. A lot of the grid lines are now missing. It worked perfectly for the previous 2 years..Djs gillVersion: 7.3.4

✓ Needs fixedNew update keeps crashing every time I open it! :(.A_concerned_user89Version: 3.3.1

✓ CrashingLatest update is causing app to close approx 10 sec from opening. Was reasonable until then..Numbnutz69Version: 2.7

✓ WaitingWas a great app to start with and happily used for nearly two years but now it's just waiting for something and won't load. I've lost hours worth of work on three large spreadsheets not to mention the recipe for my dogs dinners..Dish prosVersion: 6.3

✓ InstructionsI am not a computer person but know a little. I bought the app hoping i could get some help but cant find any. Are there just basic instructions. I want to print my spreadsheet on one page but it prints it on two. How do i set the print area.OaccoachVersion: 7.3.4

✓ BAD UPDATEI’ve spent weeks making spreadsheets with cells pre-filled so I could just go into a form and fill in the blanks and save it in a separate file. With this last update you’ve ruined every one of my spreadsheets. By removing the “Save As...” option all of my forms are gone, they have been over-written. So, thank you so much for making me spend the next month fixing this mess..ErnieC1972Version: 7.3.7

✓ Easy to use but doesn’t give the options to add emailThis app is super easy to use, the one option I like but can’t use is that you can email the speed sheet out. Only problem is there is no option to add an email to the app. A little disappointed as I bought the app for $2.99. :(.Rogue@30Version: 7.3.7

✓ Purchases DONT’T restoreApp is great but restoring the purchased you’ve already paid for doesn’t work, maybe on purpose so they get more money?! Never get a response from there customer service via email either!.Si1987Version: 7.3.6

✓ Ads after paying for no adsGreat app and used it a lot so I decided to pay to remove ads, but they still come up constantly, don’t waste your money.Jacamo123321Version: 7.3.7

✓ IssuesEasy to use layout, love the touch field and a popup comes up for options. would be great program, one i would of liked the most so far but, it will not print! every time i try using print, app freezes for awhile before eventually shutting itself down. makes program kinda worthless to me. Also, when you use email option, it acts like you are sending it and then sits in your outbox and never gets sent out, it just continuously tries to send itself out but, never does no matter what email account i use. Maybe you have to pay and upgrade for print feature to work but, i doubt it, upgrade only mentions it is to remove Ads. perhaps, the Ads are preventing print from working, have had a couple other apps with Ads in them not work right until i turned internet off but, i need internet to connect to printer so turning internet off is not an option and paying $3 to upgrade just to find print feature still doesn't work is not an option either unless i know for a fact it would fix print issue for sure!!.MyHSplaceVersion: 6.3

✓ AverageNot all that user friendly. I find that the formatting is difficult to use. Not easy to use and I generally have to add my own columns because the formula won't apply. then I use the apple Mac soooo good and that adds to my disappointment to this app. Disappointed.GypeeVersion: 3.0.1

✓ So far so goodHaving just downloaded the app, and created 2 simple worksheets, so far so good, 1 thing missing is text formatting would be nice to be able to do a little more..Brad MaxwellVersion: 3.0.1

✓ PRINT function no longer worksI love this app, but now after several months I can no longer PRINT. I can print from other apps, but not this one. When I choose PRINT from the menu, the print options page appears only for a second, then disappears so print can’t be started..Jim in Las VegasVersion: 8.0.0

✓ File order messed upWhen updating to iOS 11.0.2 the order of all my saved files are now all over the place. They were alphabetical before now it just sticks them where ever. It’s a pain to find my files now quickly as I have over 40 different spreadsheets..Kyle ShoreVersion: 6.3

✓ GlitchyWas fantastic, But with last update can’t do anything with it! I make a few changes and it just keeps kicking me out back to home screen, Very disappointing and extremely frustrating.Pemp78Version: 8.0.0

✓ Total CrapDon’t waste your money. The pro version is totally useless.Change companiesVersion: 7.3.7

✓ Phone gets hotI can feel my phone getting hot just having the app on. Not sure what's happening, but can't see any need to have CPU at full load..RickRickRickfgfgghbVersion: 6.3

✓ Not too badHad no problem with the app freezing but it is limited with what it will do. It won't handle dates so is not a lot of use to me. Could be good with more functions..AussibulldogVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Good basic spreadsheetWould love to be able to colour code cells for easy reading..Ilovexmas22Version: 3.3.0

✓ Open inDoesn't support "open in" deleted.Scott D JohnsonVersion: 5.0.6

✓ Deleted FilesLooks like they answer nobody, neither does the Software Developer. Do not get this APP or use it 👎 Went to make some financial entries, files gone, found in deleted trash bin, no recovery tab. How do I recover these files?? “URGENT” Do they respond to anybody ?? Went through the software developer website with the same request, NOTHING.Hut5239Version: 8.0.0

✓ HopelessI don't know how anybody can rate this. It is quite pathetic and does nothing at all. Not even worth the space it takes on the iPad. No instructions. It refuses to do anything at all. How on earth can you expect anyone to use it? Get it to work and perhaps you could even charge for it. I tried again, but it is still a complete mystery..Pet314Version: 2.8

✓ Don’t use itI used this app for about a month. I went to go check my sheets today and update them and everything was gone. It’s a good thing I have screenshots but I use this for work and school. Don’t use it unless you’re okay with all of your work disappearing! I was just on the app yesterday so it’s not like I took to long to get back on the app. I check is almost every single day..GfhyhfVersion: 8.0.0

✓ Works for me.Been using it for a few weeks for one simple spreadsheet with numbers changing everyday. No problems. My small iPod Touch screen is the most visible constraint, but it fits in my pocket easily..TwammVersion: 3.4.3

✓ Further Development NeededWorks sufficiently as a basic, simple s'sheet, but data entry is not intuitive to one who prefers Excel or more advanced applications (not Apple). Could not discover how to delete a no-longer-wanted sheet, using formulae drops a menu over the cell references so one has to keep popping in/out of the cell to see again the cells reference one needs. Other annoyances, too many to cover. Looking for an alternative, but may flag the whole iPad anyway, so point is moot..IusilasiVersion: 3.4.4

✓ No Down Filling CopyingCouldn't see a way to fill down and copy cell formulas so any spreadsheet is laborious to set up. Copy and paste doesn't change according to the new line. Can't see cells while setting up charts. Everything could be better..Appfreak1Version: 3.0.1

✓ Too difficult to use.I was not able to use this app at all. Not worth downloading unless it has a video on how to use it..TORONTORONVersion: 3.4.0

✓ RegrettableI paid the upgrade fee but the dumb App icon still says FREE, in red block letters! Icon design / appearance matters, and this one is terrible. I also have to go into ℹ️nformation to 'restore purchases' if I want to use the upgrade I regret purchasing. The spreadsheet is so minimalist that it's hard to find any tools or features, so there's no point to upgrading. I don't recommend this 👎.Sheri60Version: 6.3

✓ Can’t deleteThis app was amazing until approx 4 months ago and now I can’t delete any files, why, please help 🙏🙏🙏.Trixie71!Version: 8.0.0

✓ New upgrade on. SavingLoved your excel program great. App. until your last update....Now. The saving comes up at the very beginning....it used to save where you left off....it’s a pain to have to scroll all the way back from the beginning again... every time I open the app.... please look into it. Thank you.......Ymir2008Version: 6.4

✓ Quite goodSo far working well but I am new to the app. Would like a send to email functiom.BobblesFRVersion: 2.9

✓ Could be a good app.……but there is no general help, only help for functions. How do you insert/delete rows? How do you format cells? Etc etc..Davey99Version: 3.3.2

✓ Crashes!Good app in theory, however not usable as it crashes... Moving on....Mkul822Version: 2.7

✓ Did not find any valueI tried various means to enter data but it does not allow me to do so. It's always in function mode I.e. the cell is populated with an equal sign. Tried with data entry tab on but the same results. I would give no stars. And I cannot find help or else I would have purchased the app..Sanu 24Version: 3.4.0

✓ Cannot lockI find it strange that I cannot lock any columns or rows making it easy to accidentally change some formulas. Nor can you lock the app with your finger print or code?.Lets update itVersion: 6.4

✓ Not greatNot really for phone use.321cutVersion: 3.2.1

✓ Not badSimple, quick to learn, good for use as a basic budget spending tracker. Keeps jumping around (doesn't stay where you left it) which is EXTREMELY annoying..FayleyVersion: 2.7

✓ OkIt’s proven to be ok. Don’t know if I’m using it wrong but I feel as though promptly after getting the app, I kept being instructed to upgrade in order to make any progress in the app. Didn’t like that and cancelled; even though it was just $2.99, I just didn’t like what felt like a bait and switch. So in my limited use it was ok. Served a very limited purpose, but worked for the purpose needed..Ess1726Version: 8.0.0

✓ Worked great until…Was my favourite app for spreadsheeting things until it started randomly making certain files inaccessible or reverting them to versions of the file to a saved version from several months ago. they’ll come back randomly, sometimes after days of being “erased”, which screws with my daily tracking. very frustrating..[Insert good nickname here]Version: 8.0.0

✓ Changes for the worseIt's is a good app. The banner ads at the bottom never bothered me. However, now they have started with pop-up ads that you are forced to watch until the timer runs down, and they have nearly tripled the number of ads that appear. If this continues, it's time to look for a new app. As for the = sign, if you go into your DEVICE settings, scroll down, and select the app, you should be able to turn off that function..WindRider1313Version: 6.1

✓ JokeSpent the last hour filling it out to come off the app and when I returned 2 min later it had all gone think I’ll stick to paper.Yer yer134678Version: 8.0.0

✓ BadStarted good then lost everything! No support to get it back.Wizard0q1Version: 8.0.0

✓ Full page noisy pop ups - UNINSTALLINGOriginally loaded on 3GS. Worked great. Ads were fine. Tried to upgrade but it would not read old spreadsheets created with free version, so went back to free version. NOW: Loaded on 6+. Tried to upgrade and start fresh. Would not take Apple Pay. Wanted credit card number. No way. Free version: Every action brings up full page noisy kid game advertisement. No way. Uninstalling. Begrudgingly going to use Google Sheets (which admittedly is a much more polished product) though I wanted to support small producers, but current version is WAY too abusive. Unless Google Sheets makes me mad, I won't be back. One thing I will miss: I liked the ability to put number and label in same cell and still use in equations e.g. "2 apples" + "4 apples" = 6..MikeLMAVersion: 6.3

✓ Worth every penny, but....******Updated Review****** Since my initial 5* review, I have discovered a couple of things that don’t make sense and am disappointed by the lack of response from the developer. A simple email acknowledgement would have been good enough. Now left in the dark 😕 ******Initial Review ****** It took me an hour or so to figure out how everything works and I really like the simplicity of this little App. I was using ‘Numbers’ but decided it was just too frustrating to work with. I was more than willing to pay the small amount to remove the adverts..ITunes RobbieVersion: 7.3.3

✓ Does not always saveI have multiple holes in my datagathering thanks to this. I useD this app to gather real time data for my vehicle. not good..JustLynn66Version: 3.2.1

✓ It's a scamThis app would be fine if it weren't for the constantly flashing 'you have a message' ad along the bottom. If you click on it it takes you to some website that tries to register your phone to some 'prize' service that charges $6.60 per message they send to you..SusanMelbourne29Version: 3.4.4

✓ ConfusingLots of things frustrate. Cannot reduce column widths. Tried to copy column titles to next door columns, it gives you a table with copy and paste on it, so I copied titles but by then there is no paste command available. It’s gone and won’t come back. There is no undo function; make a mistake and you are stuck with it..FullofhopVersion: 7.3.4

✓ ClunkyClunky. Whilst the additional numbers keyboard is a good idea, It combines with the onscreen keyboard to cover 90% of the screen.... Need I say more..Jose FortineVersion: 3.4.0

✓ Can’t find a ‘help’ key.How does one format borders, eg. underline cell..HollyLea2Version: 7.3.7

✓ EVERYTHING IS GONE!!!!!Could not be more devastated with this app, I have been using it for 18 months and then one day out of the blue no reason it has deleted 90% of my data. What the hell. I am so so upset. How can you develop an app and miss this small / very large component. All my work is gone . Would sea from the top of the rooftops DO NOT USE THIS APP it will let you down as it has me. Hate it.LurodaVersion: 6.2

✓ Losing work done on app when screen freezes too oftenSpreadsheets work like spreadsheets should but after spending an hour typing formulas into field, screen froze and I couldn’t save progress. Had to shut down app and restart it to unfreeze it but all my progress was lost again (and again for a third time) when it repeated freezing. Going to see if some of the other spreadsheet apps don’t freeze and lose progress. Using an iPad Pro with a competent processor, which has no issues with any other apps or video streaming..DirkiedigglesVersion: 7.3.7
