With the Android app , you can open almost all document types on your Android device including Word documents, Excel/CSV tables. PowerPoint presentations as well as PDF and TXT files are also included.

This makes the annoying problem of receiving an important Microsoft Office file on the go, for example from a colleague or your boss, and not being able to open it on your smartphone and therefore not being able to read it, a thing of the past.

Further advantages

You can also use the app offline, for example in flight mode. Another advantage: with Document Reader Pro, you can see all files in one central location and don’t have to search for them in different places on your smartphone.

You can mark particularly important files as favourites. You can also quickly rename the files and share them with other users.

Document Reader Pro features:

• PDF viewer: display, zoom functions and sharing.
• Word Viewer: Reading DOC/DOCX files.
• Excel Viewer: Management of XLS and XLSX reports.
• PPT Viewer: High-resolution presentation.
• TXT Reader: Read anytime and anywhere.

Currently a viewer only

All Document Reader Pro is currently only an app for viewing the files mentioned. In the future, however, functions such as content editing and an image-to-PDF converter will also be added (although it has to be said that the developer has been promising these editing features for a long time without any action in this regard).

According to the developer, these features will follow:

• Extended format support (RAR, MOBI, HTML, etc.)
• In-app document editing.
• Image-to-PDF converter.
• Document creation and merging.
• Text search across files.
• Dark mode and doodling.

Now free: you save almost £2

Document Reader Pro normally costs £1.69/€1.99 on Google Play (in autumn 2023 the price was even higher). According to the manufacturer’s description, the app is free of advertising or in-app purchases, but user comments contradict this!

The download is 12MB in size so you don’t need much free space to add it. The app runs on Android devices with Android 7 or higher and is currently only available in English.

User reviews: Consistently positive

The judgement of users on Google Play is just positive. The app currently has a rating of 3.6 out of a possible 5 stars.

In autumn 2023, this app still had 4.5 out of 5 stars. There are now also some negative comments on Google Play. However, as the app is currently free, you can try it out without risk and then decide at your leisure whether the app is worthwhile for you.
