WordPerfect Viewer for iPhone App Reviews

Can you say CRASH? Ive never been able to open anything. It looks like its going to work and then CRASH! back to my app screen. I even tried emailing the creator. Guess what? Invalid email address. Apple should credit all of us! Oh, it made me give a star- I wasnt going to give it any stars

Reading the mixed bag of reviews I wasnt sure what I was getting into, but with thousands of WordPerfect files from 4.2 to X3 having even a partial viewer is better than continuing to carry a 3 inch Franklin Covey binder with all my portable "brains" which is what I have for 30 + years. I was, and still am, very pleasantly surprised - this app is fantastic!! My iPhone now has hundreds and hundreds of my important WordPerfect files and reference materials. I have not had a single crash, hickup or blink - the best $5.00 I have spent on an app. I highly, highly recommend this app if you need your WPD at your finger tips. Corel has hit a home run.

Paid more for this than any other app. Doesnt work; will not open any .wpd file, AND support email was returned as a bad address!! What gives? Had to give it a star to submit

Dont understand complaints. The app works fine on my IPhone and does what I needed.

Not very useful for me. will not display tables properly. Cant shrink to see complete table in portrait or landscape viewing. Cant pan/scroll the width of the table. no header/footer displayed. Kind of a waste of $.

I have a lot of WordPerfect documents so being able to read them from my iPhone is a big plus. The app works fine for me on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2. I can even access wpd documents from within Dropbox. (Note: it will claim there is no app to display the file. Just touch the icon on that screen that has the little curved arrow--as if you were going to e-mail the file--and choose the wpd reader.) This wpd reader doesnt always format the files perfectly, but they are quite readable (even tables). For that matter, the iPhone often doesnt format complex Microsoft Office files perfectly, either. Im not sure why some other users have reported such negative experiences with this app, as it gets the job done for me. Id recommend it.

Got the job done -- though it took a while for the word perfect doc to be reformatted and opened, and for a while it seemed it wasnt working.

Works seamlessly with email WP attachments

have not been able to open a email attachment yet, anyone else?

Will not work with email. Have tried with several email accounts.

I purchased this app with great hopes.Unfortunately, it does not work, and I wasted my money. I have to agree with those purchasers who are completed disgusted and feel they have been victimized.

I am an attorney. I use Microsoft Sky Drive to put over 75,000 files on the cloud for ease of access. Over 3/4 are WordPerfect 5 to X6 files. I needed an app to be able to view the files from my IPhone. I click on a file inside SD then click on the icon at bottom right that says open in another app, click on WordPerfect viewer and it opens right up. I can even select text to copy into another document. Reviewers who have said it does not work are incorrect! My new most useful app!!

The WordPerfect app that cost $4.99 does not work at all. I deserve a refund. iTunes should be ashamed to sell a product that does not work. I repurchased the other version and it did work. I want a refund for the earlier version. Zero stars

While I havent tried it with email attachments, I use it with Dropbox. It connects to Dropbox and makes it easy. Thus far, its working very well.

Some of us blind (old) people use this app so we can read or files we have collected over the years. The set font it uses is way to small. The only fix is to open the file in WP and increase the font to 26 then save it, then I can read it. But thats not what I want to do to every file first. This should not be that hard of a fix. Just a font increase button and bang! Its done.

Not worth the purchase. Convert your file to a PDF and use more powerful readers. This is what was lost: -ability to size font a keep the whole text in viewing window. -lost highlight colors in original PDF. If you stretch the page you have to scroll right and left. This is a pain if you are lecturing. WP needs to step up and provide a full editable app! I am a lifetime WP user. Please do something quick to move forward.

I have over 20 years of WordPerfect personal and business documents. All of them are stored on Dropbox. This is almost like an answer to prayers. Before I found this I was having to convert those documents one at a time on my pc so I could access them on my ios device. Now they are there immediately with only one click. Well worth the price if you are or ever have been a WordPerfect Nerd!

This viewer was updated recently. Before that when I encountered a WP doc Id click on it and up would come a list of other apps on my iphone preceded by the notation: OPEN IN. The apps shown were those apps that have conversion capabilities such as File Converter, Good Reader, File App Pro, and the WP Viewer. Somehow the iPhone "knows" what selections may be useful. BUT...following the update i got a WP file, "Winmail.dat", and in trying to open this common WP file, the Viewer does not appear under the "Open In" menu. The WP viewer is no longer shown! So, until that gets fixed the Viewer is useless.

Extremely useful app. Allows you view any WP document. Handy, since no document conversion is needed. The scroll button is its best feature, allowing you to move quickly thorugh long documents. The naysayers want this to be a complete word processor. But, as a viewer, its great. I have not had any problems getting documents into the viewer, as reported by another user. I have used SkyDrive, also email, to get documents into the WP Viewer

Dont waste your money!! It doesnt do anything that it says it can!
