Documents Pro 7 7.8
Looks good, works even better
These guys have managed to cram a comprehensive file manager and a mini office suite in a single 35.1 MB app that runs natively on iPhone and iPad.
Documents Pro 7 is quite possibly the most useful file manager for the iPhone. It’s got a dark-themed interface with flat graphics and comprehensive file icons, easy to access editing, file creation and management options, cloud access for various services (including Apple’s), and support for word documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and more.
You can use it to create and store all your files on iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive etc., email or print files, record notes with the built-in Pixi sound recorder, and of course work offline when there’s no Internet. It even creates archives! Really, there’s nothing this app isn’t prepared for.
Can make PDFs
The built-in Scan feature lets you snap pictures of anything, including papers, and create PDFs out of them. This feature has its ups and downs. Despite being pretty slick, it works slowly and it exhibits occasional glitches and errors. The straighten function is killer, but it drains the battery like crazy.
Built-in drawing tool
That’s right. It even has a drawing board inside. You can use it to draw stuff with your finger using seven different colors. Don’t expect any brushes or special functions. It just follows your touch and draws lines.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
Most of the interface is modern and sleek, but there are some sections where the developer forgot to update the iOS 4-inspired graphics. |
Function7
Had it not been for the occasional glitches and errors, Documents Pro 7 would have gotten straight A’s here. |
Security9
Given the multitude of cloud services it uses, you need to be careful what you upload and where. On the good side, it has a built-in passcode lock. |
Battery6
Massive battery drainer in some instances, but if you’re not planning to create PDFs all day you should be fine. |
Price10
Despite featuring in-app purchases for additional features, the sheer amount of tools built inside the free version prompts us to award it the max score here. |
Compatibility9
High marks in this department as well. It supports every iOS 5-compatible device known to man, natively. That’s almost every iPhone and iPad out there. |
Final grade: 8.8 (six apps in one)
