The perfect free office suite that includes updated versions of WRITER, SPREADSHEET, PRESENTATION and build-in PDF readers. Highly compatible with MS Office. The new WRITER support for converting PDF to DOC/DOCX, plus split and merge PDF file.
Comments and Reviews
I wouldn't mid of some banner in app, but several pop ups and long nags screens every day, even when not using apps is very annoying.

As of this writing, WPS Office is now a freemium product, downloaded as a monthly trial with features that are disabled after 30 days. The version listed above is the last truly free release, which can still be found on many sites, but no longer available on the official WPS website. The older version allows you to export as a PDF and will print documents without a watermark. It has the newer (optional) ribbon interface, is lightening fast, and is the alternative most compatible with Microsoft documents.
Free version displays nag ads without warning even if WPS is not running.
Commercial versions are not cheap ... compared to other Office alternatives
Premium is $30 usd / yr ... 1 PC ... no outright purchase
PRO $80 usd outright ... 1 PC ... no subscription
The SaveAs window is sooo ugly, defaults to Libraries every time, does not remember last folder
... SaveAs window cannot be resized, on laptop occupies 75% of monitor ... v.ugly
After uninstalling WPS still pops up when creating a PDF file with Free Softmaker.
Free WPS has to phone home to show ads, so it can be blocked ... ;)
What kills WPS stone dead for me is the dreadful SaveAs window, designed by a neanderthal.
I've used this app on android and was satisfied with it, but I'm currently uninstalling this on PC.
This is literally useless, I just wanted to make a simple spreadsheet, 3 columns, few lines, thats all.
It inserts accents that I didn't type, sometimtes messes up randomly the accented characters in my language, randomly changes font type back to Times, no matter what I do AND it show the accented characters in some other font type.
While I literally can't create a simple spreadsheet with it, it has cloud support, online templates and premium features, what I really don't care for.
And they want me to pay for the premium?

The software should be reported as an adware! it shows pop ups on desktop without even informing the user in terms of use or while installing the program!
Without this problem, I would definitely give it 5 stars for its perfect functionality, intuitive design and modern interface. but unfortunately they ruined it all by the ads thing.
