[Q] Best low-power office app? - Nook Touch General

Hi,
First of all, don't be cross if this has been asked before. Your search isn't working today
I'm looking for a lightweight office app. I've tried Kingsoft Office, which is very nice, but seems to take up a lot of juice and runs a bit slow. I am using Swype, which also chews up a lot, so I need the office app to be lightweight.
I need an app which can edit word documents. Does anyone know one which works well on the NST?
Thanks!

Yes and it's a good one but it's too expensive.
$39.95 for IM
I used to use slick on S60 and it supported file transfer. Been using slick on my x1 but I havent try to use files transfer yet. You could try that, just google lonecate games slick.
I'm using BeeJiveIM and fring occasionally....but BeeJive seems to work best so far.
I kinda want a IM app thats finger friendly. But it's rather hard to find

Same here,
If you use msn you can even send offline messages.
The downside is that the font is too small for our resolution but still usable.

I would be interested in locating a mobile version of QQ (english preferably..)
I've been using Palringo.
Works alright for me, could be better.
Sometimes I need a soft reset for it to log in, wont log in other wise, dont know why.
Also, do the other apps make the Instant Message LED indicator flash? I know its there in the illumination settings, but palringo doesnt trigger it :|
I like also the EQO Messenger http://www.eqo.com/.
i use slick. a bit slow on some menus but i like it better than nimbuz as it does not require you to log a web server to use.
I use Live messenger and Skype, just as on the laptop.
I have tried fring but it wasn't quite it...
IM+ FTW!!!
I too second IM+. It simply works, while many others simply did not. I use ICQ, GT and Jabber protocols.
And skype for skype, sure, but it's constant data flow and thus constant battery drain. Good if it's cold outside and you want to keep your hands warm
I like fring

Train times

Hey,
Does anyone know of any decent train times applications for UK rail. I can't seem to find anything that looks good. I would imagine there would be something good as windows mobile has a lot a business users. Something with a nice simple interface.
Any recommendations would be great.
This would be useful actually. Anyone have any ideas?
NationalRail have a mobile site that's easy to use - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/mobile/
Thanks for the link, i'll def be saving as a favourite but a native app would be great.

[Q] MS Office files view and edit?

what is the best application?
Im using Documents To Go, does the job without hickups.
Didn't you get ThinkFree Office on the tab? I use that and it works great.
I have DocumentsToGo on my HTC Desire, and ThinkFree on the Tab (preinstalled of course). I've not played much in anger with ThinkFree, but my currently feeling is that it is better than DocumentsToGo.
All that being said, I should add that my primary use for both is reading email attachment, and not really creating/editing much.
Regards,
Dave
I thought ThinkFree would be useless bloatware, but its not, its pretty damn good actually. Fastest pdf renderer on android by a long mile (i've tried them all)

Best PDF reader

Just throwing out a line to get some ideas on the best PDF viewer, possibly with annotation (although not required). I'm looking for something fast and smooth that can navigate larger documents, etc.
I like the polaris office one, at least better than adobe reader, which seems sluggish.
+1 for Polaris Office. Not perfect, but faster than the Adobe Reader app.
Hmm, I might have to try to find a copy of Polaris, it has disappeared from my app list in the midst of various ROM changes.
Repligo PDFReader
I use it to have clients sign contracts right on the screen. But has so many functions.. Check out the Video
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cerience.reader.app&feature=search_result
It is $4.99 but well worth it.
+1
Polaris Office
Repligo +1 for me. And for read the include Acer Lumiread.
At some of android news website I saw a test of pdf readers and the winner was ezPDF reader. Maybe you'll like it (sorry for my english)

Thanks, I'm trying it out now. Seems pretty good, overall.
Did you ever try ezPDF? I've been using Repligo for about a month and I love it! It was definitely worth the $4.99 (actually, when I bought it, it was $1.99 @ the Amazon Appstore).
I looked forever for the perfect android PDF app for reading books and ezPDF won hands down. Amazing control, bookmaking, and text rendering. I couldn't believe how many of the apps weren't up to par.
Sorry to drudge up a moderately old post, but I have a question about ezPDF. Can you rotate documents? I scan a lot of stuff into PDF, and sometimes I need to rotate the pages on the fly?
Also, does it support adding notes (written with stylus) and bookmarks? I've seen other posts and some say that it has this feature, others complain it doesn't.
Thanks,

I do not see rotation in the settings anywhere.
And it does support adding notes, annotations. Just tap and hold screen and chose "free hand". It will ask u if u want to make a copy for annotating which is great so u dont mark up the only copy u have. It will create another copy if u like to mark up. Once u chose, then write as much as u want. Good program.
i'm working with lots of PDFs - non-editable, editable, with markups, making markups - and right now the best reader and marker for PDF for me is RepliGo.
The PDF Viewer from Picsel Smart Office is as well very good and very fast but without marking capabilities.
Picsel Smart Office has as well the best excel, word and powerpoint readers/editors.

best office app

Hi i bought my wife a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 2014 edition
ive been using it and really lke it
was thinking of getting one me self to replace my laptop as i work offshore and it would be easyer to take away with me for a month at a time
i like the expandable sd card slot so would be able to save all my films etc to it to watch when am away
the thing thats put me off is office apps
while am away i have to send off my timesheets etc
on my timesheet i have a windows word timesheet with a excel spreed sheet on the inbedded in the word document
on my wifes tab i am yet to find a office program that will let me edit my spreadsheet thats embeeded in word
what offices do you,s all use , and what is the best
I use Documents To Go due to its Bluetooth keyboard integration. The spreadsheet is used about 15 or so hours a week with a Bluetooth keyboard. If keyboard integration is not a consideration, Office Suite or the free ones are OK. If you are looking at moderate to heavy usage (me) then consider a Bluetooth keyboard case (I have a Poetic combination). Before settling on an application, consider your usage of a Bluetooth keyboard followed by compatibility.

Documents To Go's Bluetooth implementation is superior to the rest, though it lacks in the bells and whistle department. It works and is stable.

Try Polaris Office 5 for tablet first because it is free (Samsung apps).
Then you can try Office Suite.

i like office suite the best, but its too expensive for what it is. Kingsoft is a close second for me and it's free. Quickoffice is ok. Polaris is horrible, mostly because it sucks at rendering pptxs from powerpoint. Couldn't comment on the word processor aspect.
I have used all of the above. I like Office Suite the best and I got it for free during one of Amazon's free app of the day. I have seen it there at least twice for free, but if you have to have a good suite try Office Suite 7. King Office is good, but to me, kind of cumbersome to use. Just my opinion...
Kingsoft worked best for Excel

I have used all of the above as well, specifically OfficeSuite, QuickOffice, Kingsoft Office, Documents to Go, and Polaris. OfficeSuite used to be my favorite until I started having problems editing an Excel worksheet. The formulas were broken and necessary. I started testing all of the office apps with that specific excel (including a few other free office apps that I don't remember) and Kingsoft was the only one that could handle it well. I now only use Kingsoft office and haven't noticed any loss of functionality. It should be noted that I primarily use it for Excel so I can't comment on how it works with PowerPoint or Word. I have viewed PPT files using Kingsoft and that worked well, but did not edit them.
Edited to add documents to go to list of office apps tested.

No. I have a bluetooth keyboard, but I never use it. I almost always have a laptop as well, so ifI need to lo lots of text entry I use that instead. Kingsoft office is free so you could dolwnload it and try it.
I have installed it several times and due to its Bluetooth keyboard support, uninstall it. Thanks though.
