Stating it is free is misrepresentation, as you cannot save or print without purchasing the app. Would not recommend.
Kiss a once great free application suite goodbye. Nobody wants a cloud scam. It's either free or not.
This SUCKS. Cannot save or print without upgrading. This is something that should have been made clear before downloading.
how do I get rid of this crap?
It's truly horrible and it won't allow me to delete it.
Garbage. Freezes constantly on my Pixelbook 2
Don't waste your time if you plan to do any real work. It's basically a very slow remote desktop connection. It's unrealiable, doesn't always save your files, you need to sign up to use it, and they ask you to pay more for a "better faster connection". Also can't use this offline. Waste of time.
will not open
Unable to use to paste my Language. Stupid.
Should be banned as a cheap net con job! Chrome needs a place to complain to about these shonky things - luckily rare here!
Wow.. first it was cool but now you need to pay 7,- a month to save something on google drive.... not cool bro make it fre again please.
It sucks
"Something went wrong" during sign up.
A rel sucky program!
A trick to get you to pay for something free, poorly ported. Pay for something worth it, or use a text editor.
ROLLAPP!?!? Thieves with a fancy name. Why the hell would anyone PAY for something that's free?!
Just does not work well!
I used this to lay out a transcript. It saved in my drive as the template I started with. Days of work lost forever if I'd relied on Open Office! So glad I printed it first.
OpenOffice is free... but use it as an app and get a 14 day TRIAL.... WUT? STUPID.
Lots of planted user reviews. This app truly sucks. Wait until Open Office gets around to formatting the FREE product for Chrome or move to another OS...
what the heck i do not like it at all 8(
This is the worst POS ever created to beleaguer writers of any kind of document. It constantly glitches, fails to save, and you can only use it when connected to the internet. Several times already it has failed to save the complete document I've spent hours working on. Worst of all it doesn't allow you to copy text from this program and paste it anywhere else. Whatever simple minded individual created this absolute absurdity should be fined extensively for crimes against humanity.
Spent two hours on a document only to find it froze, couldn't save, and lost everything.
DO NOT USE THIS APP. It is a total mess. I did not have an English language dictionary installed on my version - I don't know why. I could not get it to install. As a result, the entire document was red squiggles. It crashes if you try to have more than one doc open. The paste function is completely unreliable. It alternates between a previous item copied to the clipboard and the current one. I don't know how much of this is a result of usingit on a Chromebook but BEWARE OF THIS PRODUCT
keystroke locks up the application and every thing is lost,,, poor at best cut and paste not functional, as most productivity programs on Chrome this is very very bad at best
Can't save without premium trap. Only tells you that after you link up your account and destroy your privacy. Worthless. Can't even save it locally without premium. Only export a PDF. Worthless. Not use again. Interface seemed promising.
Not optimal
Must be one of the worst so-called Office products on the market. I downloaded it as it said it could run off-line - No it does not.
Chose this application because it said it ran offline. However, I didn't save before closing my Chromebook. It seems that this App needs at least some connection to the Server. Can see my text on the screen, but a message, "Application has closed. Application not running on the server anymore" keeps me from getting access.
Utter crap. Here's how it works: watch advert, find out you can't log in because 'something is wrong', discover that test drive won't let you do anything useful, delete app. Fun times.
it hangs......
nulll
doesn't work! waste of time
doesnt work
slow!
would not let me print, would not let me email, frustrated, i left and came back later, only to find that when i woke my computer back up, entire document was gone and could not be retrieved even though i saved and saved and saved while making the document because i faced the same situation earlier in the day, thinking that maybe i didn't save it and this was my second attempt.
would not open up or be able to transfor.
anything that requires on line registration is out..
Sucks! You HAVE to use connect to Cloud & honestly I am not eager to save all my files to Cloud with all the problems going on with having change logins with hacking problems right now.
Internet needs to be full on, had crashes throughout, waste of time. Also not compatible with Spanish keyboard.
No one needs a document editor with popup ads.
it only lets me type and nothing else
Freezes up a lot, app sucks.
crap
does not work.
it really suck!!!!!!
it sucks
sucks and doesn't work
Did not work, they have a known error. I checked their website for months. It does not open on a tab so it was hidden under my browser screens(tabs). Had an error could not find server. Said my connection was bad. You have to got to their website (rollApp)and hunt to delete your Account. I can not recommend this to any one.
Crashed after almost completed doc. Lost all work.
