"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."

Like others, I've used this app for years with no issues and am now experiencing constant synchronization error alerts after the most recent update. There does not seem to be any actual error, as docs are still updating and syncing between users correctly, but I cannot get the homepage to reflect recent changes. I will change my review after this bug is fixed, but it is genuinely very annoying because I use this app all day.

About Google Docs

Google Docs is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best, collaboration tools in the world. In addition to the office suite, there are many other integrated tools that streamline the management of a company.

Most popular feedback for JotterPad

I don't know about anyone else's experience, but I am having some slight issues. It constantly jitters around due to the side bar and some other mechanisms that I still haven't identified, and it sometimes deletes entire sentences while I'm just typing away and in the flow. It's a beautiful app otherwise and after trying others out, it beats out the competition MANY times over in my opinion.

About JotterPad

Although JotterPad offers advanced features, it still keeps the interface tidy, preventing distractions. You’ll notice it’s similar to other writing apps like Draft, Ulysses, and IA Writer but with a few nuances.

Google Docs reviews

I use G. Docs, all the time, every day! I really appreciate the functionality. I had a little difficulty with my resume, because I couldn't change the height of the lines when the spacing was larger than I wanted; transferring it elsewhere, to do fine tuning, was easy enough. This week, there has been a strange synchronization error! A doc I saved & closed didn't show up in Google Drive until re-opening the doc through the app & closing G. Dr.. I have scores of docs, smooth till 50k+ words.

Love it but there's recently been an annoying little tic in the app. Something about a synchronization error. Pops up literally every 5 seconds and I can't see what I'm writing. Would love for that to be fixed. This only started for me this month but yeah it's extremely annoying.

- Toushasalyer Salyer

I generally love the ease of using Google Docs to write wherever I may be, but over the last week it's been near intolerable. I'm getting pop-ups for synchronization errors frequently, sometimes only seconds apart. It makes the writing process agonizing. Please fix this bug. Android user, btw.

JotterPad reviews

I love the app much more than most note apps. My only complaint is that after the most recent update I can't move my files into folders anymore wether to remove them from one then add to another, or to place a stranded dock into a folder. In past I could press and hold a document and hit move file and choose the folder because I make documents before I decide to place it in the folder. But now all I have is the option to copy or delete folders. Someone please bring back the move document button

I come back after a hiatus of smart phones and they have a new subscription charge to sync to my drop box!? I paid once for that feature. and that was the understanding. I am not forking over $5/ month to write text files! otherwise, app seems to have added a few cool new features for power users. ads talking about "my next hit screenplay" smack of artifice. preying on wannabe dreamers. Now I need another app that backs up to a cloud without slurping on my bank account every month. bummer

- Ole and Lena Learn Aurally

I understand that this is a free app with a paid option, i could deal with the constant popups every single time i opened the app. However, what made me stop using this was when i switched phones. Not sure how, because it looked like everything changed over fine at first, but i opened the app a second time to find no notes. The only option i had was to import each note, one by one, as an ugly txt file. Absolutely frustrating and the straw that broke the camel's back.
