## Review summary

TextMaker on iOS is praised as a capable Word-like editor with a familiar, responsive interface and strong Word-format support. Reviewers repeatedly note its desktop parity and cross-device compatibility. However, concerns recur about licensing (subscription/purchases for features like PDF export), feature gaps versus the desktop (PDF export, charts), and occasional performance issues with complex documents or on older devices. Overall, a solid Word alternative for iPad with notable downsides for those seeking a one-time purchase and full desktop parity.

### Pros

- Full-featured Word processor on iPad with MS Word-like tools, reportedly comparable to or beyond Pages.
- Fast, responsive, and easy-to-use interface.
- Good Word-format compatibility and cross-device workflow (save/export to Word and move between iPad and Mac).
- Familiar Ribbon-style editing interface helps Word users transition to iPad.

### Cons

- Pricing/licensing relies on in-app purchases and subscriptions for premium features like printing and PDF conversion.
- iPad version is more limited than the desktop (no PDF export; limited charts).
- Performance and stability issues on some devices, including lag with complex tables and occasional crashes.
- Occasional UI quirks and bugs reported by some users (e.g., selection handles, some save/open quirks).
