Documents To Go
Just wanted to mention that Documents To Go has been updated (finally) with full iPad support, including full screen size, "Open With.." ability and a lot more. I've been using this on my iPhone since it was released and am glad they finally released the iPad version. It is far better at word and excel compatibility than Pages and Numbers. Works just fine with google docs, box.net, dropbox, idisk even sugar sync.
pretty much ditching pages and numbers and going back to DocumentsToGo. there is a basic and a premium version, and they are universal (buy once, run on ipads, ipods and iphones, another bonus over pages and numbers). |

scottjl, my sister wasn't too thrilled with Keynote for iPad as a substitute for her Power Point stuff-how is their Power Point support?

i'm not a big power-point kinda guy.. i tend to write more on whiteboards when giving presentations due to the nature of my work. i've played around with the powerpoint functionality of D2G and haven't found it to be any less than keynote. i believe it doesn't lose as much formatting doing imports as keynote does. i use word and excel far more often. keynote does have a "slicker" ui though (so does pages and numbers for that matter).
if you have an existing document you'd like me to test out i'd be happy to import and then post up some screen shots (in D2G and keynote). |

Thanks! I think I'll go ahead and get it...that is the problem with all these inexpensive apps-they are totally priced like great shareware (which I'm used to paying for)

D2G has a basic, and a premium version. you can purchase the basic version and then upgrade through an in-app purchase at the same end price. wish more apps were like that.

Much prefer keynote to docs to go. I design 'decks' for a living as a trainer/presenter and the apple app is great but does take a fair bit of user time to get the hang off. But from a design point of view it's miles ahead with the type of tools for getting images and text lined up and looking great that are normally only present in higher end programs used for magazine creation.
However for the average used docs to go is probably easier as it's closer to PowerPoint in it's style and function. |

At least Pages has a 90% working MS Office export feature. Just sometimes it mess up some formats but generally the export in Word looks 100% the Same.
Numbers Miss this feature what is a shame and keynote i don't use. |
