Paper by Dropbox

They introduced a new UI design a while back on desktop. I am not sure why, it didn’t make anything function better, it just made it look worse. I used to use this app heavily, now I moved on. Can’t trust their updated and design decisions.

I love this app because it isn’t just a Google docs clone. It has a simple interface that works well. Or - should work well. There are some bizarre issues with this app that I’m surprised about. It works fine on the web, but this app isn’t very good. The app freezes sometimes when you return from another app, requiring a force-quit. Sometimes it just hangs for no reason. And when I tried to create a to-do today, the app said “try later or contact support.” I am certain that support would not be able to fix this issue. Hoping the devs read feedback and make improvements, because the idea and design of this app is great.

I do appreciate the power that Paper has brought to our staff's collaboration on things. And overall I am satisfied with it - however, it's buggy when I'm doing work on an ipad. In fact the rating would probably be a lot higher but the request to rate came on the heals of my inability to create a "TODO" item for a staff member because of some buggy behavior of the menu. (The option I wanted was not displayed on the screen, but I could see the ipad positioned the menu so that it *would* appear to the left of the screen boundary - if my screen was large enough. Bottom line - I like Paper - it's great for collaboration ... but at least when you're working with an ipad (my main tool) - they still have some work to do to get it to work properly.

seems like they are no longer updating and developing the app. there are constant problems staying signed in and signing in multiple times before successfully logged in.

This app works great in most circumstances, however i cannot seem to add any photos from my camera roll from my IPad with an IPad OS with the now-latest version. I have tried updating my app, updating the iPad, rotating to different orientations, submitting different photos… nothing worked!

Offline mode doesn't work well. Can't view recent papers, therefore this app is currently useless for most workflows. Don't bother with a developer response that refers me to your support forum. Already done that. Still waiting for a fix; 14 months later. Please fix offline sync. Thank you.

No dark mode Editing is buggy. Write and post a comment takes you back to the top of the doc. Hit edit and it takes you back to the top of the doc. Does what you need but missing some basic stuff that make it usable.
