About Basic docx Reader

"It's not big and it's not clever", it is in fact a tiny and efficient docx (word 2007/2010) file reader. Support is limited to basic tables, lists and text but if you want a tiny app that lets you open a docx from dropbox, the web, email attachments* or your local file system then this will get the job done.


No advertising. Not now, not ever.

I am a lone developer doing this for free in my spare time. Given the number of users its become impractical for me to provide rapid support. The app crashes sometimes and doesn't work on some phones, if you have problems with the app all I can do is apologize. I would like to maintain this app but I hope users who experience problems will understand the time demand of supporting an app in your spare time as a lone developer.

Known Issues:
*sometimes attachments / files can't be opened due to a permissions error

Doesn't currently support:
- passworded files
- images
- Bookmarking
- Search

App won't even open honestly its ridiculous how I've literally installed nearly every file opener/file reader and not a single one has enabled me to open yet alone view anything hope am I supposed to keep tracks on what my child is doing on his phone if I can't utilize any of your apps because they fail to function

Gave this app 1 star because it wouldn't open. App kept closing, tried several times to get the app to work. Rubbish...

I am a journalist and needed a hassle free app and basic Docx reader is just that. Thanks. Only sometimes when I try to open a six or seven page document, it Says "can't open this file" but after a while the document does open. Please try to fix this problem. Other wise the app is very very useful. I loved it. Please keep it ad free As it is at present.

Unfortunately on my phone when a banner advertisement appears it hogs over 50 percent of my screen space even in landscape orientation, I can't minimize or remove the ad so it renders the app unusable. If it weren't for this I'd give 4 to 5 stars. Please consider fixing this. Thanks

I really think that this app does what it says although I would wish for some improvements like being able to go back to the docx and pages you have left instead of finding that document and scrolling down again. Also, I wish there would be brightness change. But don't trouble yourself too much Mr. Developer. You did a good job already :D

The only thing I'd change is that the tittle remains on the top although you continue reading. 5 stars if u do it

Perfect for reading school emails where they come as docx. Don't really need it for much other than plain text so can't comment on other things.

Tried it. Page was black with no info. Fine on computer. Shame because the official ms app is so bulky

H70%
by H####:

When the only criteria under consideration is "reading a docx file" then this application does a decent job. The layout is very much like a note taking application and there is even an option to increase the font size. So all in all a decent application.

everithing is good, opens smoothly but in a process of reading it freezs and I cant up page or down, it is frozen until I restart app or jus turn it off, its need to be fixed

If you remember dos, it that simple. it actually works. I've tried several applications to open my school files over the phone and so far this one is the only one that could read the files.

C70%
by C####:

Just scrolling through words makes me dizzy, it lags so much and takes so long to scroll. You also can't hide the zoom buttons, forcing you to zoom so big to look at the words at the bottom of the text

I opend my file on google Microsoft but it could not open then i tried on this it is working greatly very useful app thanks to the founder for thanks couchdev and it is also amazing because it is small in size it☺

It's a simple reader that does it's job right and an option for a black background while reading is very handy. Although a sort option would've been useful esp. when there alot of documents

This basically passing the text within a document but not rendering it in the correct format. Can be useful in an emergency. Hope it gets better

Nothing fancy but if you like fancy, work on a pc. I love this app for its size and support of allowing copy paste while being able to read it on my phone...

No ads! Brilliant! Absolutely no extras. Does one thing with very little space. Where have you been??

Interesting that it doesn't open .docx. Maybe you should change the application name. I'm just saying.

This app is perfect for being able to read docx attachments quickly and with no fuss. Image support would be nice, but for the most part I don't find I need it.

Good app. But user interface isn't cool. It could be made better by adding other background colours when reading the doc.

For an app that sits in your phone for less than one MB, i think this is an ace job. Thanking the devs for this.
