Office HD: TextMaker TRIAL

★★★★★ Best App for Serious Writers I am an author who loves using my Samsung Galaxy Note tablets to write my novels by hand. I've tried almost every word processor app available, and NONE even come close to this. I have been using the regular version of TextMaker happily for years (writing almost an entire book with it), that I can't believe that SoftMaker found a way to create an even better app. It includes some extremely useful tools that make this without a doubt the ONLY app any serious writer should use. It has an active spell check that underlines the word in red, and allows you to add words to it. The interface is intuitive and just like a PC program, with many customizable options. It comes with more fonts than any other app on the market, making it useful for more than just writing. But the best addition that makes this THE go to Android word processing app for serious and professional writers is the addition of a thesaurus, something I have been wishing to see included for years! Trust me, if you ever wished you could use your tablet to write your book wherever the inspiration takes you, then download TextMaker Office HD. I promise you'll end up buying it before the end of your 30 day trial.

★★☆☆☆ Opened to try, but couldn't It said, "this is a trial version, pay for the real one". Hmph, never even got to open, let alone see it. Oh well I'm happy with Kingsoft/WPS. It should be a limited-uses trial i.e., you can create a given number of documents before deciding to purchase, rather than a time limit. We don't all have the time to trial all the apps we would like to under the restrictions of an arbitrary time line.

★★☆☆☆ Just complains I'm not connected to the internet. Well, if I'm not connected then this review isn't really going to be posted so I can say what I like. Or perhaps I am really connected after all and it's the application that is broken. Either way, I didn't like this TextMaker simply because it doesn't work.

★★☆☆☆ buggy Forces me to "save as" every time i just want to save a docx file. Then still freezes as 0% during saving process. Custom keyboard mapping is buggy too on my galaxy with QWERTY keyboard. Too many needless steps must be followed to repeatedly select and apply each customization individually before it actually works (e.g. instead of allowing for multiple customizations to be selected and then applied in one go) and then many are still forgotten after restart.
