The popular and award-winning Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite is now available for iPad. The application enables robust viewing, editing and creation of Microsoft Office Word and Excel files and integrates with mobile cloud storage providers such as Apple’s MobileMe, Google Docs, Box.net and Dropbox. Quickoffice has been completely redesigned for the iPad and offers improved menus and functionality.
- Power edit mode – make edits across an entire document or spreadsheet with a multi-edit toolbox. Quickly format text, numbers, paragraphs, backgrounds and cells without opening and closing multiple menus.
- Single-screen viewing – an intuitive way to navigate horizontally and vertically through folders and files, and conveniently review file information within a single-screen view.
- Advanced touch controls – manage files with simple-to-use touch, tap and drag controls with an advanced connected file manager. Scroll in any direction and drag and drop to email, move, copy and delete files on the iPad or on supported remote storage accounts.
- Smooth page scrolling – single-touch navigation to preview page thumbnails and jump to any page in any size document.

Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite for iPad now available
Does Quickoffice for iPad allow "track changes" in word-processing documents? (Apple's Pages explicitly says track changes are not supported.)
If I had an iPad, this would be the next best thing to MS Office so I'd be getting it.
I got the DocumentsToGo version of this type of app and very happy.
But at $9.99 this is a steal if its as good.
The screenshot of Excel above looks better than the DocumentsToGo version but a screenshot alone does not make an app.
But I paid $15 I think when I got it for iPhone and happy that they upgraded on iPad and didnt charge again.
Comparison would be great.
Anyone who tried them all, how does this compare to Docs To Go and iWork on the iPad? Thanks.

That's what I want to know. I've been seriously looking at buying Pages for iPad, but I was waiting for this to decide. I'd love to see a face-off between Quickoffice and iWork for iPad (throw in Docs to Go too if you want.)
+1 on a comparison between them all.
+1 on comparison between them all.
+2 or 3 on comparison between them all.
does this app support find function on spreadsheets? Thanks!

does this app support find function on spreadsheets? I don't see it stated as a function. Thanks.
I have them all. Quickoffice works better than docs to go. iWork should be iWork lite. It doesn't let you import forms and can't handle PDF. Yet it's nice. I prefer Quickoffice for work and Pages/iWork for extracurricular.
The fact that it works with Google Docs cloud makes it very appealing. iWork.com is in beta and rumors are that it will charge a fee once it goes live, not so with google. The templates in Pages are nice though - I'd like to know how good the templates are in Quickoffice.
They raised their price to $25 for the iPad!!!
I'd buy it at $10, their old price.
Guess I'll wait a couple weeks to see if they drop it back down. So much other competition catching up.
If they want market share, they should offer their better software (it is best) at a a market penetrating price, or they will lose in the long run. Marketing 101.
Doug asks an important question: Does Quickoffice for iPad allow “track changes” in word-processing documents? (Apple’s Pages explicitly says track changes are not supported.)
Is there someone out there who has an answer? Track changes is important for my work, and is the only reason, I would want to buy an ipad, rather than a netbook or other devices.
Most developers offer track-change on their suites for Android and/or Window7 mobile device applications. So why has it been so damn difficult/impossible to get the same functionality for Iphone and Ipad devices. Again, Apple is probably being unreasonably unreasonable in their OS development requirement and in locking/removing key features, even for their own apps (Pages). This is a very stupid policy. Apples should in fact pay developer to get such feature. It will open up a market that has a lot of money not only to purchase apple mobile devises, but much of apple's expensive accessories and services. Does the word Lawyers mean anything?
I am not bying an IPAD, as much as I want (not really need) one for other things, but my priority is my bread and butter, and for that I need trackchange functionality (and there are many like me) without track-change, IPAD is a useless toy to me.
If you read what I wrote, you know why I need track-change, not only spell checker.
Track changes are imperative for any collaborative writing project. Can someone please develop a OS4 solution for this ASAP!!!! Please!!!!
