It's out and now a $20.00 subscription per year.
OfficeSuite Premium $2.99 / month $19.99 / year. Available as in-app purchase from OfficeSuite Free.
Not sure if it is worth it with so many options out there.
What is your opinion?
Frankly no. It does have more options. For me a one time purchase regardless of the cost. This brings a stay flow of income in to the developer.

They replied to an email....8 Pro will be out soon.
I bought 7 pro a couple years ago,it wasnt a .99 cent app either....
Seems like more and more apps are going the way of "2 or 3 or 7" bucks a month forever and ever...
I wont be buying 8,7 has all the functionality I need.
Economic times. I will not change though, as there are other applicantions with similar functionality.

I find the free WPS office to be the best option. I bought officeSuite pro 7 and still came back to WPS after that.

Thanks, I'll check it out....
The newest update (I as well bought the Pro version when it went on sale) is exactly what I wanted in a mobile word processor. Not gonna lie, the ability to export to PDF and being able to center text...it's pretty freaking sweet. I actually didn't have to use my desktop to write a paper for school. It was a nice feeling! Anywho, I like it bunches. I'm not sure about the subscription thing but I do think it was worth the one-time purchase.
Agreed on a one time purchase and no subscriptions.

My version 7????? (latest before 8) updated to 8 pro no subscriptions. Nice program, I still love it 100%.

Not sure if anyone uses this app on a regular basis as I do, but there are some really cool added features coming in the premium version. Syncing and such.
Anyhow, right now they are offering the new premium app for $4.99 on Amazon for life where as after tomorrow, the fee will be $1.99 a month. Seems like a great deal to get it now. I can also say the syncing between phones works great. Mine and my wife's can share the grocery list with no problem.

What is the monthly fee for multiple users?
Looks like a pretty good deal for a lifetime subscription, but the Amazon site indicates a small monthly fee to add users (like my wife?) to the app.
Any idea what that fee would be? I'm currently using OurGroceries (with ads). The real-time updating is the important thing for me on the grocery list -- without it, it's really not worth buying.
Guess I'm old fashioned, but paper and pen works for us, and in the grand scheme of life, some things need to be left that way! The day I sync a grocery list is the day I lose my phone, and TV remote to a younger generation.

Does this support SPen as far as writing signatures?
Is it a better office app compared to Polaris Office that came with the phone? What are the differences?
I was a quickoffice pro user on my captivated, and installed it on my note as soon as i got it. I had a doc that quickoffice couldn't open, so i tried polaris, and haven't really gone back since. I haven't selected a default yet, so i always get prompted as to which should be used, and lately it has always been polaris.

I got Quick Office Pro HD and Documents to go when they were free. I used to like Documents To Go but Quick Office just had a very nice update. I really recommend it for for free but only for tablet. I use it on my touchpad but I don't feel like they work as well on the Note.
I had QuickOffice Pro the day I purchased my Note. I got it for free. I prefer it to Polaris Office. I also used QuickOffice on my HTC EVO 3D.
The new app is awesome. It offers many new features and flexability. Only one major problem for preexisting Android users. Now you have to pay to access over the internet while preexisting Apple users do not. http://support-splashtop2.splashtop.com/entries/21825816
*Update*
Seems they have deleted that post (or blocked me one or the other). Now they are offering 1 year free Access Anywhere to preexisting customers. Looks like there are a bunch of people that are upset https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsImNvbS5zcGxhc2h0b3AucmVtb3RlLnBhZC52MiJd
*Update 2*
I am satisfied with the resolution offered by Splashtop. Personally I think the added features make it the best remote client for Android.
Does the new app offer any significant changes? I only just got around to trying the one included with the Asus stuff, it's pretty neat.
Yes, usability is greatly improved.

I will if they change it to a "For life" deal, just like what they have for iOS users. Everyone should get onto the app page and give it one star, and post their disapproval all over Splashtop's page until the backlash makes them realize how wrong they were to pull this on us, and how bad this was for their reputation.
Is this year free deal only in the U.S? I don't see it anywhere in the description? In Canada btw.
Edit: see it now, its under any negative review. But honestly they should give us lifetime for free as well

The year free is only if you had previously purchased Splashtop HD or THD. All new users (iOS or Android) have to pay for Access Anywhere. The offer was given in the user reviews on Google Play. It is their response to the backlash of existing customers.
Thank you for your feedback and support. We understand you have bought Splashtop HD. If you can send an email to [email protected] with your Splashtop ID and Gmail address used to purchase Splashtop HD, we will proceed to give you 1-year Anywhere Access Pack for free.

Thanks yah I see it now, didn't think to look in the in the reviews. And I own THD so I'm not pleased about having to pay again for this. Already left a review stating this. Thanks though!
Maybe I'm missing something but what is the big difference here?
I have Splashtop THD and the only thing I noticed different is that it offers pinch/zoom.

Yeah! Equal treatment! We have to force them to make the app $2.99 on Android!
I would easily pay $2.99 to get a lifetime subscription like previous iOS customers get.
Instead, I get the app for free but have to pay $.99 per month or $9.99 per year once my free year is up.
Somehow they thought this was a good marketing plan?
They try to give reasons such as how in the iOS app store it was made as a replacement app so they are forced to give lifetime subs to previous customers. How is that now supposed to be OUR problem?

It looks like they are starting to see why people are reacting so adversely. All we want is consistency.
I purchased Splashtop THD, have Splashtop HD that came with my ASUS TF201, and also have Splashtop Mobile purchased through the Amazon app store.
So I emailed them a few days ago, and they just responded saying they are giving me 2 years free. A little strange since some are getting lifetime, others a year, and I'm getting 2 years. But I'm ok with that, there will probably be a new version out before the 2 years is up anyways. So email them personally, they'll give you something.
They gave me lifetime as well. When they also explained that iOS users have to pay to download the app, it made more sense of how in the long run, the costs to both parties should be comparable. It seems that each new version would cost iOS users $$ to download, while our subscriptions guarantee us free downloads of any new versions that are released. It would be better however, if they can fix the problem and use the same exact model for both parties. Overall, I feel they are doing the best they can now with the difficulties presented to them, and hopefully it all get fixed soon.
Where do I find my Splashtop I'D?

For $10 its way over priced. The amount of widgets is so small that it doesn't justify the cost.
10 bucks, what is that?? All those overpricing comments makes me wonder, who are writing these comments..?
Who that can afford a prime, but not an app with the price of a frozen pizza?
Well I can honestly say that its worth it, yes the app is still going through its teething phase, its just come out of beta, but there's been some huge improvements since the beginning and their support has been top notch. I backed the project via Kick starter, hence I've been playing with it since the first beta release. A whole lot of new widgets are inbound very soon and I particularly like the "Make a widget" widget, it allows you to specify a particular URL to keep track of a particular website, this is excluding the browser specific widget that should be coming soon.
$10 might seem costly for an app, especially one that is still hasn't got all of its features yet, but definitely worth looking at in the near future when they've worked out all the kinks and added some more useful widgets

It's not about being able to afford $10 bucks, but what you're getting for that $10 bucks. If an app isn't worth $10 bucks then it's not worth $10 bucks. The reviews speak for themselves about the quality of the experience you're getting for that $10 bucks. Like I said before it has potential to be worth that amount but currently it just isn't at this point. Barely cracking a 3 out of a 5 start rating when I can easily see many of the other launchers are offering a better experience (nova launcher, go launcher, apex launcher, etc) at a much lower price. Granted, none of those launcher are being as ambitious as the chameleon launcher is trying to be, but it's not an excuse to say this launcher is worth $10 at this level. I actually really liked the idea of chameleon launcher and still do. It's just not ready for prime time yet.

Feel free to send me $10 then if its nothing to you. But seriously would you spend ten bucks to have all the widgets you already have for free? For my purposes I'm not going to spend 10 bucks for 1. a complete launcher replacement that doesnt have 3/4 of the widgets I currently use. 2. An incomplete product. If this was final and it had all the bells and whistles...fine, 10 bucks...take my money. But its not there yet.
Seriously you'd pay $10 for a frozen pizza? You sir do not know good pizza.
I think that a lot of the bad reviews are from when the app was initially put up on Play. It was available to the public, but it would only authenticate for people who had supported the project on Kickstarter. A lot of other people downloaded it and were pissed that they couldn't get it to work, even though it was clearly stated that it was only for the Kickstarter supporters.
Personally, I think it's got a bit of distance to cover before it is perfect, but it's totally usable at this point. I've been using it as my daily driver launcher for the past few days, and it's working great. The new widgets should be coming soon, and there are several developers working on additional widgets that will be available outside of the normal Chameleon pantheon.

As an early backer I am pleased to see someone has finally seen some sense. IMO this is a fine launcher and totally unique in that it fully utilizes the real estate available to tablets like ours. It has big potential too in the way the widgets have been opened up to to community development.
Unfortunately, someone high up in their organization got greedy and launched a semi-finished product at a ridiculous price that was only ever going to generate negative feedback and few sales.
Let's hope it's not too late to rescue what is a very fine project.
PS a myth that really needs knocking on the head is the one that says it only works with its own widgets. This is just not true. For some time now Android widgets work just fine within the Chameleon framework :good:.

It looks great.. Much work to do..
Both the Twitter and Facebook widget should be improved. In the Twitter widget the tweets sometimes doesn't show (some does) before many seconds later. The text sometimes doubble up.
And in both those widgets it should be a option to post a tweet/meesage without starting, for me TweetCaster and the browser. It should also be able to see comments etc.
The Calender widget doesn't work for me??
And Android widget do work, but not properly as mention above..
Apart from this, it works fine. Get more widgets and improve those allready there..

JUST My opinion
Chameleon videos where shown when they where trying to get people to donate to the project. Man I thought they where the bomb. I was really wanting to get my hands on it. Then we got what we paid for I couldn't believe it was so lamb! I felt like I had been taken! With all the updates that have been sent I have been hopeful every time and every time I have been disappointed. This is still one of the worst launchers on the market. I agree it has potential but now the update and changes have all but stopped. This app takes away the freedom to make the prime what you want and is only allowed to be what the developers want it to be. I know some will not like what I say but I paid the money and feel I have the right to speak on my experiences. So sorry if I offend you with my lame review but fact it they need to do ALLOT of work to make this thing passable. So bottom line don't buy it until you look at ALL reviews of it not just one.
Does the team still plan on updating? If so any hopes that it will live up to it's potential and hype?
for s4 I think I'll give it a go
after aboout two days i came to the realization that i just wasted 10 bucks. I uninstalled it. Hopefully their next project will be better since they have all our money to fund it.
Not even a question. Bought the iPad when it was unmatched by any other tablet in terms of screen quality. Now that the screen has been completely surpassed, cheaper and with an OS I like more I'm dumping it for some Nexus love. Cant wait to uninstall that virus (I mean itunes) Anyone else coming from another tablet?
I'm in the exact same position as you are: My iPad 3 is already up for sale on eBay. I've been very unhappy with iOS in general, it seems very basic in terms of functionality (especially playing videos is a real hassle without hardware support for most media types) and inflexible (no easy way to create shortcuts to often needed functionality, for example).
iOS Apps are all dependent on support for each other, there is no easy way to handle & share files between different applications if the developer didn't think of explicitly adding support. This is basic functionality that is perfect on Android, but practically non-existent on iOS. Another big hassle was the slowness of Chrome for iPad as well as the inability to set it as standard browser due to Apples App Store restrictions. I want something that works better for my use cases and is flexible. Regarding the size of the competing app markets, I'm not concerned: Everything I need/want seems to be available as a tablet-optimized App for Android.
So I'm happy to buy the Nexus 10 - after multiple years of Android smartphones (Galaxy Nexus currently) I'm pretty sure that it will suit my needs much better than the iPad ever did.
Same here. Getting a Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 instead of my OG Galaxy S and iPad 3. Can't wait.
better sell your ipad 3 ASAP lol. its price already reduces a lot due to the ipad 4, and now the nexus 10..
I'm getting a Nexus 10... but having a hard time deciding if I want to sell my iPad 3. I don't really want two 10 inch tablets. But I'll have a hard time giving up some of my iPad apps.

Keep both while risking the iPad3 devaluing and using it less over time. Or, sell it now while you can still get a good return for it with the option of buying it back later for less.
