Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the subscription model, reporting unexpected charges and difficulty canceling. Customers also found the application intrusive, with some raising concerns about its installation process and its impact on computer settings. The payment process was a significant source of frustration, with numerous complaints about billing discrepancies, immediate billing despite free trial offers, and issues with refunds. Some people were dissatisfied with the user experience, finding the software slow, complicated, and not always compatible with other office programs.

The Curse of AI

I have been using WPS office for about 6 years and until the introduction of their AI spellchecker the product would be 5 star rated. The old spell checker in the 'Docs' part of the app was superb. It did exactly what it was meant to do, which lets face it, is simply to highlight mis-spellings and suggest corrections. The AI spell checker is now being pushed on us as an upgrade 'WPS AI' for which we have to pay more money. There are two problems with this.

AI spellchecker is rubbish - it is intrusive and insists on highlighting far more than just spelling, it is difficult to implement corrections.

The other problem is that the old spellchecker has been removed from the program so that we are effectively paying for a program that is less capable than the one we have been using for years.

With WPS hectoring us upgrade to WPS AI, we are being pushed and cajoled into paying more for a worse product than we were used to.

Because WPS is adversely affecting our office productivity we are looking at changing to another office software package.

Sadly it seems that WPS progress is backwards.

Good tool, but suspicious with the way it runs

I've been using WPS for year, but now I switched to an alternative.
The whole platform works well, but I notice that it's running in the background, even though I stop the app in the background. And it keeps coming back as a launching app. Because of this, I'm very suspicious on how they manage the data, especially as they're developing an AI.

Magic.

Magic.

All the sleek usability of G-suite and all the functionality of MS Office, and yet better than both of them at everything.

I've recommended to a bunch of people who are looking for something that isn't overpriced and completely sucks (Looking at you MS) and yet still fully compatible with the files.

Only wish I found it sooner (And yes I paid for the premium as well now).

Dishonest

PDF editor works great! Would be nice to know after installing the application however that editing is a premium feature - it will gladly let you use the edit function, but then when you come to save, you're hit with the "subscribe to our ridiculously overpriced plan". So you end up losing your work. No thanks. Avoid.

WPS Office is not safe

WPS Office is not safe, for security matters may your files and data will be compromised. You may think 10x why we have a Cyber security awareness. China got your identity and confidentiality and may your secrecy have compromised because of this apps. Be wise and may threat to National Security. This time Cyber War is existed!

WPS Office – Smart Claims, but Lacking in Support

Initially, I was satisfied with WPS Office. However, since the latest AI upgrade, the program crashes constantly, and the helpdesk doesn’t even bother to respond.

A software company that claims to be "Smarter, Faster, Easier, Free with Seamless MS Office Compatibility" should also have a reliable helpdesk.

Make unduly charges

I subscribed for six months, but they have also continued charging on my credit card a monthly fee. I wrote several times to the support system, but they say a few words, take weeks to answer and finally DO NOTHING.
They behave as SCAMMERS. Be very careful with these people.

Paid version blasts ADs. What is the point?

paid the 36 dollars for a year and it continued to blast AI ads.
while the more annoying ads stopped being blasted, the annoying "TRY AI features" Ad at the top would not go away. I never even got to use the application. had it less than 20 minutes. uninstalled it. cancelled the subscription and deleted my account with them. still out 36 dollars but I guess it's a lesson learned not to trust companies like this.

I did my job with it

I did my job with it. The bad part is that they don't do refunds and it's not easy to reach them. Plus, you have to cancel the subscription from Google Play, then you have to make sure to search on Google "Cancel auto renew WPS Office" and cancel it from there too, otherwise, you'll be charged even if you canceled from Google Play, and you won't get your money back. It's a kind of legal scheme, unfortunately. Other than that, it's okay, but I prefer a less developed app that takes 100% care of customer service.

This Word Processor meets all my needs…

This Word Processor meets all my needs and expectations. Apart from its ease of usage it is constantly updated and shows the broadest possible range of features.
In my opinion it is fully on the leading edge of current technology in its field.

If WPS were a boxer

If WPS were a boxer, I'd describe it as punching well above it's weight. I like it's lightweight speed and it's no frills focus at getting the job done. Been a home office user for about 2 years.
