User Reviews

Users praise Documents as a highly versatile hub for files and documents, with strong search and browsing that makes it easy to locate content. The app is favored for its built‑in music/audio handling and the ability to download audio, plus its long track record and ongoing feature improvements. However, persistent concerns about price and subscription models overshadow the positives for many users. Reliability issues (crashes, freezing, and heat) and a FTUE that feels lacking or confusing hurt the experience. UI polish and UX alignment with iOS also come up repeatedly, along with some UX bugs and intrusive cloud prompts.

Pros

Extremely versatile file manager and central hub for documents across many formats
Strong file discovery and browsing that helps you find any file quickly
Built‑in music player and audio handling with download capability
Longstanding app with a broad feature set and loyal user base
New features and ongoing improvements (e.g., saving links as files) that fit typical workflows

Cons

Pricing and subscription model seen as overpriced/paywalled
Reliability issues like crashes, freezing, and heat after updates
Poor onboarding/FTUE and a UI/UX that feels arcane or not aligned with iOS design
Unhelpful cloud prompts (iCloud/Dropbox) and some UX bugs (e.g., moving between recent and docs, video opening in this app)

Very nice

The new ability to save links and intact with them like files is quite nifty. But now what’s needed is the ability to download content — particularly videos — from a link/webpage. This needs to work on the same level as Downie on Mac. Documents’ continued refinement and expansion makes it the clearest contender to be downloading videos/files/content. Documents should be the solution to not needing to resort website downloaders which are too iffy. If Downie can do it, Documents can do it. Update: No ability to download content has been added over the last 6 months or so. But furthermore, the UI is still arcane. Instead of updating it to be in line with Liquid Glass (as they did with Spark, so They Know), they added some temporary Easter icons. Amazing priorities! I’m still not sure if the intermittent freezing has been solved yet, forcing me to wait 5-10 seconds between various interactions with the app, like after opening a PDF, or scrolling a folder, or tapping forward on an audio. I guess I can just continue to download things via Downie, but the freezing needs fixed and the UI needs updated. With iOS 26 I realized just how much I can’t stand all of these apps and their developers who think they’re being cute and recreating the wheel of UI, when it just never looks as good as iOS and thus always looks out of place. Hating the sight of ugly apps, and tolerating them merely for functionality, is a thing. But if it’s still freezing (in spite having used the beta and given them feedback MULTIPLE TIMES on UI and the freezing — what is the beta even for?!) maybe it’s just time to delete this app. Update May 4, 2026: Thankfully the freezing seems to be resolved. However, the interface remains arcane and out of date. No idea why Spark has been updated while Documents has been neglected, but it’s tiresome after after 6+ months of Liquid Glass being out. I hope Readdle isn’t becoming one of those toxic iOS developers who want all of the access (and money) of the Apple platform while having no respect for Apple design language and the users who use this platform partially for that exact reason. If you want to make an ugly Android-ish app, then put it on Android; don’t think you should be able to extract usage and money from iOS users.

If you use documents as your central hub it morphs into something new …something word processor agnostic Wait Did you feel that just then … that rumbling — ah yes — Paradigm shift … Are we done here?
