## Review summary

Polaris Office is seen as a capable Word-like suite with solid core editing and format support, including Undo/Redo and search. However, widespread ads, reliability problems, accessibility/UI shortcomings, and limited support for advanced document types heavily color user sentiment. An ad-free option exists, but overall experience varies—productive for some, frustrating for others due to crashes, interruptions, and navigation issues.

### Pros

- Undo/Redo and built-in search improve editing efficiency.
- Strong Word-like alternative with a widely used feature set.
- Solid core office features available for free (with ads) and options to pay for more.
- Good file compatibility (works with doc/docx and can handle other formats like hwp).
- Ad-removal option provides a smoother, ad-free experience when purchased.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and pop-ups disrupt workflow (including video ads).
- Stability issues: hangs, crashes, and recovery-file loops risking lost work.
- Accessibility and UI issues: poor VoiceOver support, unlabeled controls, cluttered interface, and lack of dark mode.
- Limited editing support for advanced file types (e.g., pivot tables in Excel) and some spreadsheets.
- Pricing/monetization concerns: ads plus data monetization and potential cancellation/friction in changing plans.
