QuickOffice mobile office app launches new help site

QuickOffice is an excellent app that allows you to read, view, edit, and create documents, spreadsheets and presentations. It is available for Android, iOS, Symbian and webOS, with HD versions for Tablets. The free Quickoffice Lite allows you to view documents, but most people will want the full Pro version ($14.99 for smartphone, $19.99 for tablet). There are deals and specials at different times, and the Amazon App Store for Android has offered it as a free download in the past. It also allows viewing of PDF files. TheConnected File Manager offers integrated access to Google Docs™, Dropbox, Evernote, Catch, Egnyte, Huddle™, Box, SugarSync, and MobileMe™, so you can access, share and manage files on your device and the cloud.

It is a great app and the company has always been very responsive to user feature requests and help. They have just launched a new help site. http://help.quickoffice.com/

There is a search box where you can type a question, a FAQ section, hot topics, user guide and more. It's easy to use and has a lot of great information and help.

This help site will make it even easier to use QuickOffice and find the assistance you need.
