Documents 7 review: Free iOS file manager puts Apple’s Files app to shame
Macworld / J.R. Bookwalter
Documents 7 is a free iOS app for reading PDF, EPUB, Word, and Excel documents,
opening ZIP archives, viewing images, downloading and much more.

It took Apple nearly a decade to bring proper file management to the iPhone and
iPad with the arrival of the Files app in iOS 11. Over the same period of time,
an enterprising third-party developer based in Odessa, Ukraine was busy
refining its own file manager app, which outshines Apple’s in almost every
conceivable way.
Documents 7 is the latest incarnation of the versatile iOS utility that started
as clever web app ReaddleDocs, named for the up-and-coming startup who created
it. The mobile equivalent of macOS Finder, this jack-of-all-trades allows
iPhone and iPad owners to browse, view, and manage files with ease, all from an
intuitive user interface that puts Apple’s own Files to shame.
Documents 7 brings the Plus button to iPhone, making it easier for users to
create and import files from almost anywhere.
Although there was little to dislike about the look and feel of prior releases,
Documents 7 adds a fresh coat of paint inspired by the company’s recent PDF
Expert 7, a robust tool for document editing and annotation. The result is a
refined UI that makes viewing and organizing files a more organic experience,
with support for iOS 13’s new Dark Mode and floating keyboard. iPad users can
also now open more than one Documents window at a time, great for side-by-side
comparison or to drag and drop content between them.
Making its way from iPad to iPhone is the Plus button, a convenient one-tap
popup in the lower right corner which speeds up creation of new folders, text
and PDF files, scanning new documents, or importing existing files from iCloud
Drive, Photos, cloud storage providers, or network-attached sources. Naturally,
there’s also integration with the built-in Files app for seamlessly accessing
content stored there, as well as opening files saved in existing Locations
within Documents 7.

Whether it’s cloud storage, network-attached devices, or remote servers,
Documents 7 makes file management a snap.
While Documents has always been a very capable PDF reader, version 7.0
introduces an option to turn the app into a full-fledged editor as well. After
upgrading to an annual subscription ($50 per year), Documents 7 unlocks a full
complement of professional tools, allowing users to edit, convert, and reduce
the size of PDF files.
If you already own PDF Expert 6, those editing features are available free of
charge in Documents 7. Unfortunately, three advanced tools recently added to
PDF Expert 7 do not get shared, so the only way to customize the Favorites
toolbar or convert and compress PDF files is to pay for another annual
subscription. That stinks, but Readdle offers a discounted upgrade to PDF
Expert owners ($10 for the first year). For the moment, this is the only in-app
purchase offered—everything else is absolutely free.
Documents 7 can effortlessly transfer files between iOS devices and personal
computers using any web browser.
Bottom line
For those underwhelmed by the built-in Files app, do yourself a favor and
install Documents 7, the free file manager worthy of being installed on every
iOS device.
