Really nice to be able to access documents on mobile. However, there are a few glitches that make editing documents difficult. When selecting a place to type in the middle of preexisting text, it will suddenly replace the previous few words with nonsense. It happens almost every time and is very frustrating. Sometimes when switching between apps, typing will suddenly be blank, and then the whole document will be blank as well. It requires closing and reopening the app to resolve.

I like this app, but it glitches and will combine and remove words randomly when editing documents. Frustrating. It has done this on three separate android phones and continues to be an issue over several years. Also, so help me, God, put the smart lookup / dictionary feature back on the mobile version if we are not getting access to whatever AI "tool" that is being embedded. It sucks having to switch between apps when the feature was so useful.

I don't want the little microphone hovering on the document I'm writing. It obscures the last word of every line, and I'm constantly having to scroll up to see what I've written. I don't know if spacing is correct, etc, because of the freaking microphone. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I even turned off voice to text for my entire phone, yet it's still there. I have to back track and correct nearly every line I write. Why is it like this? Uninstalling
